Brothers be paid and they still see a broke nigga Brothers self made and they still see a dope dealer Learned being black is both a blessing and a curse Our mentalities dead but our bodies just the hearse We just tryna do right and live by God's plan Fighting through oppression tryna reason with white man We're all in the same boats, no double entendre Gotta protect our queens or they'll get offed like Sandra Moms hold your sons close, gotta strengthen that bond A walk home gone bad end up like Trayvon Small crimes can get him killed just ask George Or Michael with his hands up what they kill him for Adam guns down the school house but yall deem him mental But Michael gunned down for a traffic stop down in Temple Breonna Taylor shot 8 times for abiding the law Atatiana gunned down from a wellness call They said every pig with a badge ain't bad Well every brother ain't a savage yet yall niggas still mad Man I find the shit sad Took all we got and everything we had Land of the free still treated second class Try being black in this land called Amerikkka How the country for centuries try to tear at us Brought to a foreign land we had to build up Seek the fruits of our labors and then they kill us Our melanin like gold that shits on demand They'll Kendrick Johnson our bodies to get it in their hand Emulate the culture but won't take a stand We were only a piece but never part of plan America grew off black blood, sweat, and tears But we slowly gaining power done living in fear Y'all done seen our talk through our actions over the years Thought we was problematic? Y'all ain't seen shit dear They say racism doesn't exist I ask em are you dumb Y'all don't see these white cops killing us for fun See all the black men who never ever made it home Like Ricky, Eric, Alton, Oscar, Jerome The race shit twisted and the hate is sick Tell us how to get justice but yall ain't giving it The world was made to shake us System set to break us How I worry for my daughter my nephews my niece How we ever gonna progress if we can't get no peace We gone hit that breaking point and start taking over Cause we learned power in number as we been getting older We bringing heat, set fire to a world that's colder Try being black in this land called Amerikkka How the country for centuries try to tear at us Brought to a foreign land we had to build up Seek the fruits of our labors and then they kill us Our melanin like gold that shits on demand They'll Kendrick Johnson our bodies to get it in their hand Emulate the culture but won't take a stand We were only a piece but never part of plan
