I D-I-G I-T when the P.D. don't come at me For simply drivin' down the street cuz my skin color's all they see We call it D.W.B Sir may I see some I.D Here's my license anything else There's a quota I need to meet Yeah? What's that supposed to mean It means today's my lucky day, keep your hands where I can see You gotta be kidding me Step outta the car, please I think I'd rather not, cuz if I twitch and you get jumpy I'm the one who ends up shot I know my rights and this is not About to go the way you want Started recording when you pulled up Not that you ever gave a f*ck I'm not high, and I ain't drunk I have no priors or no drugs No knives or a gun, and I'll be damned If ya thinkin' of killin' me just for fun They always want our rhythm, but rhythm comes with blues You could take our lives but y'all will never get a clue This is not The Avatar, no lives come in blue, this Blackout's for the people Raise a fist for me and you Blackout, blackout, blackout, black Blackout, blackout Oh, yo business burning? Well, my man’s dead Oh yo windows broke? So my nigga’s head of the heels of the Fed it's never-ending Y'all just feel hella scared when a brother's bending corners with my mask on Studded for the revolution You think a targets gonna cut it for the retribution Think the carnage is enough for an exec to loosen the noose And choose to respect black dudes then Ok, you morn windows of best buy I morn the widows of my best guys Killed by bullets the cops let fly We gone burn shit down, I do not get try ooh Yall didn’t do shit for black lives Till a boot on his neck was on Facebook live Textbook cries for his mama He had to go to heaven just to stand for his honor Now you got the drama We headed to the trunk for the Llama My people want a check for the trauma Even from Obama When oppression for everybody is endless Then somebody’s gone bring the business Blackout, blackout, blackout, black Blackout, blackout Woke up this morning in a rage wanting to take life A fleeting thought, now I'm over it like head lice What was that? You're expecting us to play nice Correct me if I'm wrong but we've tried it that way once or twice Y'all need to recognize that this is my forever fight Yeah my skin is light and bloodline is black as night Through generations all we're told to do was march the right Way yet they stay testin' us like we some lab mice Two wrongs don't make a right, two negatives breed positivity Kneelin' on ya math, but they would rather that I S.A.T Quietly, class in session but I won't sit silently Not welcome in your society, surprised when we act violently So here we are tryna exist, just wanna be a factor But the police would rather see my peoples brains splatter So now we takin' to the streets to see the glass shatter There will be no more peace until they see Black Lives Matter
