This ain't right This ain't right This ain't right y'all Ain't been right Ain't been right for a while y'all This ain't right This ain't right This ain't right, y'all Ain't been right Ain't been right for a while y'all This ain't right This ain't right This ain't right y'all Ain't been right Ain't been right for a while y'all This ain't right This ain't right This ain't right, y'all Ain't been right for a while y'all My great grandmama worked the fields Just pickin cotton, ain't no options Takin beatings while she's carryin this whole country on her sweaty back I wonder if she ever ran for freedom Or if she looked at her family and decided she can't leave em Maybe she thought of her grandkids and what we'd become Maybe she dreamed of our freedom and maybe that was enough I wonder if she thought she'd see the promised land Or just prayed every night Precious Lord, take my hand And I don't quite understand How you could shoot a black man And think that we not gone pull up to these streets And fight through this pandemic I feel taken for granted They takin our lives for granted Where's our advantage? Pastor tells me walk by faith But it's hard not to live in fear When both my baby brothers they look just like young Tamir And I'm looking in the mirror And I should just see my mama But instead I saw Breonna and I saw Atatiana Cuz when you wade in the water it gets trouble and uh When you pavin' the way feels like it crumbles but uh I don't know if we done reached the promised land So I still pray every night Precious Lord, take my hand Lead me on Lead me on Lead me on Hunt em down Hunt em down Hunt em down like a beast Gun em down Gun em down Gun em down in the streets Ridin round Ridin round Til they paint the town red Hunt him down Hunt him down Don't you know he's a thief? Gun her down Gun her down Gun her down in her sleep Ridin round Ridin round Til they paint the town red
