Amerikkka fallin' down in the pit
Same shit once again, I wonder when it'll end
Another black life, taken out in the street
By a coward with a badge, we can't trust the police

I'm pourin' out my heart all on these keys
I'm spilling all the shit that they won't ever say for free
I'd like to think there's nothing they can take from me
But minorities are killed on the news like every week

It ain't police brutality, that shit is murder
They screamin' 'I can't breathe' and they act like they ain't heard ya
Seems like they ain't satisfied until your pulse flat
How many have we lost and we'll never get they pulse back?

They want us to keep the peace
But white people burned shit when Kaepernik took a knee
We're part of a broken system, I shouldn't fear the police
But if I dial 911, they could end up shooting me

Cause I got a different tone in my skin
White people never know feeling alone in their skin
They'll never understand the separation that we have
And I'll never get the same opportunities you get

My parents migrated from Mexico, years back
I'm gettin deep man I'm struggling holding tears back
My dad came to this country, legally at 17
To find a better life and to somehow chase a dream

But because of the brown shade of my skin
They're quick to judge and say that I'm illegally within
The walls of their America, the land of the free
But this country isn't fond of you and me

Tell me what's changed, blacks are still being detained
What's the difference between cuffs or locking them up in chains?
Amerikkka is hell, we got brown babies in cages
They lost records of these kids burning thousands of these pages

The truth is, Trump don't care about you like the way you think he does
The whole system is fucked, they don't really care for us
The governments worst fear is that we unbury the truth
They barely gave us 1200 but they wonder why we loot

But police still continue to shoot
How many murders from these cops do we really need to prove?
Good morning, Amerikkka, we need some real change
We can't afford to keep moving in these same damn ways

We all have a voice, please use it if you can
Use your white privilege, check the color of your hands
To make a difference, black or brown, it's designed to be hard
White lives in America are valued more than ours

That's a simple truth that I hate to admit
But I seen it first hand, this world needs to get a grip
We need to end this shit, can't let the law mistreat us
I hope these words become history and I won't have to repeat em

Cause this shit happens time and time again
What kind of changes do we need so it won't happen again?
Too many lives lost due to power hungry cops
They just committed murder, but the system let 'em walk

We just want justice, we just want change
Rest In Peace to their souls, please don't stop saying their names
We can put an end to the murders on the news
It doesn't happen overnight, but it begins with me and you
