Another black man in America
Dead in the streets by the hands of police
I can’t even tell you what is scarier
They sworn to protect but they leave my kind deceased
And It’s crazy we don’t know who to call
And It’s crazy we don’t know who to call
Another black man in America
Dead in the streets by the hands of police
I can’t even tell you what is scarier
They sworn to protect but they leave my kind deceased
And It’s crazy we don’t know who to call
And It’s crazy we don’t know who to call
Blacker the berry the sweeter the juice
When you light as Halle berry then they loosen your noose
When black as Trayvon Martin then your face on the news
When you black as Eric Garner then get used to abuse
That's the world we live in
They Flood the gates of prisons
Systemic racism is how hey they get away with lynching
Systemic racism is how hey they get away with lynching
Systemic racism is how hey they get away with lynching
No You can't the beat the system
Is you a suspect or a victim
They teach us how to read to see our destiny was written
They show us that we bleed and make examples out our children
Deprive us of our needs and paint the image that we're villains
Woah
Another day another dollar
Another day another black man gone cause of the spite
Of racist cop who couldn't tell his wrongs from his rights
Read a nigga all his rights or kill him from a faulty light
Stop me if I'm wrong or you could sing along
The message to this song is something you can carry on
I'm black dog I'm black and I'm proud
Stop the violence right now
You killin somebody's child
We're all children of God and I know that siblings fight
We're all sinners but with love we're all bound to see the light
The shower of doubt powered by cowards of fright
Don't confuse political views from what’s wrong and what’s right
Another black man in America
Dead in the streets by the hands of police
I can’t even tell you what is scarier
They sworn to protect but they leave my kind deceased
And It’s crazy we don’t know who to call
And It’s crazy we don’t know who to call
Another black man in America
Dead in the streets by the hands of police
I can’t even tell you what is scarier
They sworn to protect but they leave my kind deceased
And It’s crazy we don’t know who to call
And It’s crazy we don’t know who to call
If you nice with the rock they tell you shut up and dribble
For my employees out on salary just shut up and nibble
You get a piece of the pie and you think you sit at this table
You think we really care about you everybody got cable
Man everybody is looking we gotta make sure that the statements we put out isn’t crooked
Financial statements that get tampered while nobody looking
Nobody checking for real investigators from the government JP Morgan be covering
But let a nigga come down yo street 2020 off the lot no keys no lease
Straight cash bet the IRS be coming for his ass the next week
Donate a million out to trump straight chicken gotta eat
But that’s fake news my nigga nobody gonna cancel us
Money out they pocket and feed them something that’s cancerous
You never seen a vegan selection inside the hood
Everybody ramen noodle babies shit we all good
Everybody struggling we one race don’t bother
Everybody had to wait on they food from McDonald’s
Everybody had to go and deal with 12
The whitest skin get fines while my melanin gets cells
The whiter the skin, it’s like the lighter the sin
When you black as George Floyd you gotta call for your kin
When you black as Breonna Taylor there’s no knock warrants
Until we burn this country down there ain’t no justice for us
Another black man in America
Dead in the streets by the hands of police
I can’t even tell you what is scarier
They sworn to protect but they leave my kind deceased
And It’s crazy we don’t know who to call
And It’s crazy we don’t know who to call
Another black man in America
Dead in the streets by the hands of police
I can’t even tell you what is scarier
They sworn to protect but they leave my kind deceased
And It’s crazy we don’t know who to call
And It’s crazy we don’t know who to call
