They Don’t Care
[Verse: JustPierre]
They should've told you freedom came at a price
Hand gestures for ancestors who have paid with their life
Emancipated, but ain't gave us our rights
Promised American Pie, but they just still ain't gave us our slice
Yikes, so we resort to schemes
Do whatever for the green
Horror scenes, we've been masked up before the quarantine
So it seems, we cry for help, but they ain't listening
They trying to see us 6 feet, that's social distancing
I'm missing it, the same color blood in you is in me
But most is split on the part that it's red, see
Ain't we told to love our neighbor, we ain't animals
Devouring each other, man, it's time we're held accountable
This is bad, bad, man, we need to act fast
Being black is trending, 'til your name's a hashtag
The last laugh, goes to he who endures
Justice is the cause, Christ is the cure, let's go
[Chorus: Frannie El]
All I wanna say is that they don't really care about us
All I wanna say is that they don't really care about us
[Post-Chorus: Frannie El]
I'm tired of being the victim of hate
You're ripping me of my pride, oh, for God's sake
I look to heaven to fulfill its prophecy, set me free
[Verse 2: Jay]
Trapped in a world engulfed by evil, but some choose their ignorance
The Fathers always watching giving presence in his immanence
Its hard for beautiful people our complexion is a threat
My blackness is a gift and your acceptance is a step
We've been held down for too long
Im in the dirt but i got my fist up
You try to rob me with your cuffs but its my mind you want stick up
Heavenly father, im prayin for our nation
The pandemic might be global, but we struggle with a statement
"In God we trust"
Our faith has been shaken
Instead of trusting you we choose give into temptation
The seed we planted is starting to grow roots
You reap what you sow and the evidence is proof
Systematic separation is a racist form of truth
And its ignorant to think that its not effecting you
How to fight what can't be seen is a biblical transition
We need strength and we need wisdom from a Heavenly provision
So Lord give us poise, worldly shackles ain't gon chain us
They stick a knee on our throats
[Chorus: Frannie El]
[Post-Chorus: Frannie El]
I'm tired of being the victim of shame
They're throwing me in a class with a bad name
I can't believe this is the land from which I came
