We still ain’t free Yeah Say their names Say their names Somebody said that when I speak That I don’t back it up And I’m conceited Cut the beat since I don’t rap enough Aye Boy I came from rock bottom They just acting tough I’m really out here calling shots And they just calling bluffs Man I remember on the 4th of July, 2005 Headed to Dollar Tree we had batteries to derive Before we even arrived An officer had his eyes On our windows that were tinted Maybe cuz our skin is tinted And I ain’t race baiting just saying that I’m attentive In the land of the free I don’t feel like we represented They say it’s not a protest if you violently riot But think you hate the military when they see you kneeling Like a twisted drug dealer they never take what they dealing Lemme finish my story or they’ll paint me as the villain The police raised his voice at my Momma So she clapped back He said, “I got the power with this badge, now how you like that” Put her in handcuffs and pushed her onto the car I’m crying thinking how could things get this far But then to my attention It was something she would mention To that officer To reach his level of comprehension A Cell Key from when she was working up at the station Now he talking patient He Really feeling racist We went home Scott Free Since “no harm was done” Really cuz he ain’t wanna hurt his own We Still Slaves... Still ain’t free We still ain’t free Yeah we still ain’t free I’m tired of using hashtags saying RIP for real I said We still ain’t free Nah We still ain’t free I said we still ain’t free To bring change We gotta start with YOU AND ME for real Yeah We still ain’t free I said We still ain’t free I said we still ain’t free I’m tired of using hashtags saying RIP for real Okay We still ain’t free Yeah We still ain’t free I said we still ain’t free To bring change We gotta start with YOU AND ME for real Say their names like it’s destiny child Some police keeping they job When they really defiled I got a friend from Africa Ask how our nation is racist When fighting racism It’s people tryna debate it They doing it on twitter Where everyone mind sedated Acting like Tomi Lahren I know that they views are Jaded 17, gunned down Cuz his skin is shaded With skittles and an ice tea A hoodie in the night breeze Please get up off me tryna tell you I CAN NOT BREATHE Police keep on shooting like they don’t believe That I bleed And they still lynching Hunt em down! Turn on the high beams With tear gas in my eyes I got a Vision no Visine Defund what is corrupt And watch the numbers stop rising Get rid of symbolism Of the hate they’ve been disguising Cuz I hate the bad apples Don’t mean, I don’t back the blue Cuz I say my life matters Don’t mean, yours don’t matter too! For real Still ain’t free Still ain’t free I said we still ain’t free I’m tired of using hashtags saying RIP Because We still ain’t free Nah We still ain’t free I said we still ain’t free To bring change We gotta start with YOU AND ME for real We still ain’t free I said We still ain’t free Yeah we still ain’t free I’m tired of using hashtags saying RIP for real I said We still ain’t free Yeah said We still ain’t free Yeah I said we still ain’t free To bring change We gotta start with YOU AND ME for real
