[Verse 1: King Paul]
Ayo, they tryna count us out yall
Tell me what's that alla bout yall
All they wanna do is see our downfall
They don't wanna see us when we stand tall
Cause when you look up, all you see is God
And when you look down, all you see is OPPS
Karen on the phone, calling up the cops
Lying acting like she the neighborhood watch
And that's all it takes to get your black ass shot
Honor roll student, but on the news, you a crook
The Devil is alive, but he got the world shook
Got masks on your face, cause he got you all hooked
Being lead to the slaughter, getting thrown to the wolves
You a second class citizen in your own hood
You don't even got rights in your own hood
If black lives matter, then why it ain't all good
If all lives matter, then where is the love
Black child still being labeled as a thug
Four hundred plus, we still begging for the crumbs
Man there's a war going on and it only just begun
So get your head out your ass, quit acting like a bum
Cause it's all fun and games till the barrel of the gun
Gets aimed at your face, and they dare you to run
With they knee on your neck, yelling, stop resisting
God please listen, I can't breathe, yelling out for my moms
I can't breathe, yelling out for my sons
For my daughters, my pops we gave it all we got
And we still getting shot, left dead on the block
And we can't call the cops, cause the cops are corrupt
So dear Mr. President, this is all on your watch
So you can't blame us when we tear this bitch up
Y'all need to hear us out, without a shadow of a doubt
We have to make a stand, we have to make demands
Y'all need to hear us out, without a shadow of a doubt
We have to make a stand, we have to make demands
[Verse 2: Zane Smith]
Yeah, huh
As I turn on the tube it's a lot of news
A lot happening in the world, don't know what to do
And history repeats, so it's nothing new
Walking in our own shoes, two different views
Searching for the words expressing how I feel
We done heard it, now we see it like it can't be real
Should I speak on negative and tell it how it is
But complaining never helps, so I'll be positive
Mind-frame, world change, different way to live
Way of living, hoping, wishing, listen, see the vision
An all-black world, life independent
Run society, and laws, it's all our decision
All black everything, hope you get the picture
Everybody friends and kin, brown skin vivid
The cycle ended, moving forward, now we've gone a distance
A home of our own, what a happy ending
