Gone get gone, Bounce
Here go
Coming through like a quiet storm
Didn't see me coming
Real classy like I'm Lena Horne
Now they watch me like they're watching porn and I love to perform
I get nasty in rare form and you can gone press record
Now gone, get, gone
Like Ponce de Léon, on, on, on
Bounce

Gotcha caught up in my rapture
Anita Baker smooth
Singing ooh
Now I gotcha 
Queen to the throne 
Or call her Bastet, Kemetic
We be on it
Capture the moment 
Quick take a flick
Click click
But remember when you shoot
This ain't no selfie movement 
This is the People's Revolution
Ready to stand up
To your warfare 
Our arms are locked 
Your guns are cocked
You ain't never played fair

Even with our arms raised 
Up in the air 
I swear they shoot us down
Cuz they don't care
Even with our arms raised
Up in the air
We ain't backing down
Said we ain't scared
Even with our arms raised
Up in the air
Wave em' side to side
Like you just don't care
Just don't care

Empowered by my blackness
I'm owning it
Nina Simone wit it'
No Holly white actress could yes'massa this, call me a masochist 
It's my pleasure to serve for the pain of my people's lives
It's more that being equal, right?
F*** your equal rights
When we've got less of them than a fetus life
Who's prolife for black lives
When they don't even matter to us
I've heard the meek shall inherit the earth

They want us gone, get, gone, Bounce, repeat

Even with our arms raised 
Up in the air 
I swear they shoot us down
Cuz they don't care
Even with our arms raised
Up in the air
We ain't backing down
Said we ain't scared
Even with our arms raised
Up in the air
Gone, wave em' side to side
Like you just don't care
Just don't care

Truth be told 
When you've been told your worth is the sum of being the scum the earth
Compare us to roaches
There's hope then those fuckers last foreva
Keep hoping our end approaching
Genocide of blackness is neva
Keep feeding poison to our minds
Telling us we're more prone violence
Calling black on black crime
A mother addicted drugs
A product of your curse
My eyes been open
Since birth

They want us gone, get, gone
Bounce, repeat

Even with our arms raised 
Up in the air 
I swear they shoot us down
Cuz they don't care
Even with our arms raised
Up in the air
We ain't backing down
Said we ain't scared
Even with our arms raised
Up in the air
Gone, wave em' side to side
Like you just don't care
Just don't care
