Yeah C'mon Uh Rest In Peace to my brothers, I'm talking black and brown, uh Deceased with the others, no longer 'round At least physically cause spiritually we gon' hold it down We gon' let that shit be known, every city, every town Yo, we tired of seeing people of color murdered by police Think they holy than thou, y'all got us pouring out these 40's For the heavy amounts of people we done lost from toting Killers say they protecting and serving, act like they controlling But they ain't controlling shit, we the ones that take a hit Got that badge on they chest so they think it's cool to scratch that itch Of putting people to rest long as our blood line different It's like they having a fest of coming at us militant I be like f*ck that, f*ck them, and f*ck you if one of those Racists, white supremacists, trump supporters, don't f*ck with none of those It's time we let it be known, can't keep doing this shit on the low Cause look where it done got us, in the same place that we was before, uh It's time to stand up, it's time to amp up March the streets til the whole city jammed up Won't be the first time that y'all put me in them handcuffs Won't be the first time they pointed a strap at me while they yelling hands up It's time to stand up, it's time to amp up March the streets til the whole city jammed up Won't be the first time that y'all put me in them handcuffs Won't be the first time they pointed a strap at me while they yelling hands up Plenty of murders police committed Course they said he was lurking and had a deadly weapon hidden But after shooting and searching they ain't find nothing on the premise Still judges let em walk free as if they wasn't a menace This that country that we live in, the land of opportunities Opportunities for an officer to come tearing up communities Same officers, if I spit in they face bet ya ass they end up suing me Be the same damn officers making families prepare a eulogy They hate to see the unity of darker skin like it's a sin Kill us off so brutally, they tryna stop our oxygen Tryna keep us out of society while we lookin in Shit is colder than them wooden boxes that they put is in Rest In Peace to my brothers, promise y'all ain't die in vain It's a tragedy y'all had go that way, it's not okay Got y'all mothers crying in the cemetery where you lay It's time to stand up for our people, show em we ain't come to play It's time to stand up, it's time to amp up March the streets til the whole city jammed up Won't be the first time that y'all put me in them handcuffs Won't be the first time they pointed a strap at me while they yelling hands up It's time to stand up, it's time to amp up March the streets til the whole city jammed up Won't be the first time that y'all put me in them handcuffs Won't be the first time they pointed a strap at me while they yelling hands up It's time to stand up Yeah Uh, uh Peter Kings baby
