I don’t gotta back 400 years i can go back 2 weeks and the message still clear That the outcries and tears falling on deaf ears and its clear Knees on necks instilling fear Feeling like Bugs Bunny and its wabbit season Elmer Fudd’s with a badge and a bag of reasons To bag any n*gger the bigger the badder Ask a question and the trigger’s the answer They squeeze out a life watch the piss out his badder Baptize the Minneapolis pavement in a matter Of 9 minutes death sentence signed and finished In 9 minutes they took the life of a menace A father a menace, a brother a menace A son a menace my color a life sentence Threatened by my very existence complex Walk out my door daily wondering yo, “Am I Next?” Oh say can you see… Your blood stained banner with them stars not meant for me You proudly hail at the twilight That you don’t mind taking my life, yeah Could really give a f*ck about rights Cause you don’t really value my life Am I next to be faced down Next in a choke hold Next to be chased down Shot till my toes cold Am I mean to be the next Emmett Till Eric Garner or George Floyd a void to be filled The next new martyr A hashtag so we can march harder A temporary revolution starter A Black man doing all that I can to stay breathing I just wanna live like Keedron (I’m a young Black man) But put my life on the line for a brother if I see him In need cause I need him to live too I don’t ever plan to pull out a phone cam and start shooting I’m a ram right through his body cam and up root him Either we both gonna live or we both gonna die But I couldn’t live with myself if I ain’t try A muse for a mural hashtag through a text Dream and a nightmare same breath thinking “Am I Next?” Oh say can you see… Your blood stained banner with them stars not meant for me You proudly hail at the twilight That you don’t mind taking my life, yeah Could really give a f*ck about rights Cause you don’t really value my life Oh say can you see… Your blood stained banner with them stars not meant for me You proudly hail at the twilight That you don’t mind taking my life, yeah Could really give a f*ck about rights Cause you don’t really value my life
