F*ck the government Standing over us, knee on our neck, I can't breathe, we're suffering Home of brave, who be pillaging and plundering Modern day gentrification and Columbusing Hard to get over the past when you wiping your ass with our culture and then flushing it If you mad at racist statues crumbling I pray to God white Jesus is something that you struggle with Idolatry permeates our society Property supersedes people dying We try to Rosa and MLK but I fear the Malcolm and Marcus that might grow inside of me Oppression of black folk We stressed and lack hope History shows cutting off appendages so we couldn't run away Intolerance to fuckery ain't the only time we lactose I'm tired of white allies holding their tongues I'm tired of begging the churches to act I'm tired of peaceful movements getting portrayed as destructive I'm tired of always yelling and never being heard And I'm also tired of thinking that I'm gonna get shot at, followed in public, or be looked at as lesser for being black I'm tired I will not stand down There's a public misconception that we choose pain That 2020 is the year that we grew brains Shit been happening for centuries And it's hitting me when I turn on the news and see my dudes slain Need accountability yet they choose blame How they picture my people, they need a new frame It ain't true we blew fame, I'm hot as a blue flame Tell me they don't see red when the blue aim We're looking for true change, treat us like loose change, Bottom of the barrel and they tighten our loose chains Life must good top of the food chain Who trained yall to make a noose hang? Barack? Focus on the Hussein I ain't vote for him, parties are too lame No democracy, there's only two lanes And a range of deranged leaders, who's sane? Yall singing the same songs my crews sang Blowing trees, same ones where my crews hang Black and proud, they wanna see my crews tamed On the pavement they wanna see my crews stained When my people die, who gains? Yall send em to the clouds, who rains? Defund and reallocate, new reins Stop playing with lives, yall need a new game
