Ok, Kangaju (Woo!) Straight from the jump I'm wearing a hoodie so you must think I am a threat You ask for my ID, I go to my pockets, you think it's a choppa, I'm dead (Yea, grra) Came back from the market to feed up my fam And that day we could barely 'ford bread (Yea, yea) Now my blood's on the street but the officer's fine (Huh?) Guess I wasn't as black as he said (Yea) Yuh Straight from the jump I'm wearing a hoodie so you must think I am a threat (Yea, yea) You ask for my ID, I go to my pockets, you think it's a choppa, I'm dead (Grra) Came back from the market to feed up my fam And that day we could barely 'ford bread (Yea, yea) Now my blood's on the street but the officer's fine (Yea, huh) Guess I wasn't as black as he said Damn I must be blacker than black Think I'm broke, 'cause they put me in castes for society Prejudice lacking variety (Yea) Shoutout to all the minorities plagued with anxiety (Yea, yea, yea) Shoutout to all of those victims those bleeding in silence 'cause nobody thinks with sobriety Drunk off of hatred Maniacally leeching off colors of skin That's the basis entirely (Grra, yea) Hop on a boat as a captive Take us to land that you say you discovered That's cap Scattered us all 'cross the map Speak out for justice, get killed (Where they do that?) Shooting up protests for "liberty" This is America Murder has quite the affinity They working hard on their trinity Prejudice, knowledge suppression and hatred You kidding me? (Woo!)
