If you saw an old lady getting beat up on the side of the street
Even without her crying for help somebody would intervene
But why is it that when we cry for help we either get ignored
Or somehow we must have had it coming?
Treatment
Everyday ah di same treatment
It's 2018 yet blacks still getting slave treatment
Small slice ah di cake treatment
Prejudice to the face treatment
And other races can't relate because they don't ever get the same treatment
Many of them unaware
Either that or they don't care
They ain't even tryna hear about any of the bad things happening to us
Somehow hearing about it is actually worse than going through it
Newsflash homie, you don't wanna hear about it and we don't wanna go through it
Nowadays to each other we can be so so cruel (Facts)
You play blind to it every time coz you don't go through it (Big facts)
Over time I was really hoping we could grow slowly through it
Yah
44 Elected got me feeling like we're so close to it
So close to a better America
A better America for everybody
But these days I'm second guessing it
I don't think we're ever getting it
At least, not in my lifetime
Seems like we just can't win
But still, I try
I try
They say things are different
I don't see no difference
50 Sum years and we still going through the same things
What's the difference?
What's the difference?
Same conditions, same issues
Only difference is the treatment
We do not get the same treatment
And if we dare complain, we get the "go back to from whence you came" treatment
We're getting tired of the mistreatment
Tired of the stop and the frisk treatment
We do hard time, while everybody else get the slap on the wrist treatment
Have you ever called the cops and somehow got cuffs on your wrists?
Are they overly rough on your kids?
Trust me, we had enough of it
It makes it hard to trust the government
It's so hard to trust the legal system or the evil, twisted people running it
Struggling
Don't you see my people struggling?
You ain't seen Eric struggling to breathe?
They just choked him out in public
We just tryna get some justice
I mean, ion see us getting none of it
At least not for Philando
And we ain't seen none for Sandra
Yo it's got me feeling like Bruce Banner
You don't wanna see us angry
You don't wanna see us marching peacefully with our hands up
But you're better off with the "Martin"approach, you don't wanna see the "Malcolm"
We'd be out here like "by all means necessary"
But that don't necessarily mean that violence is necessary
But some change is necessary
They say things are different
I don't see no difference
50 Sum years and we still going through the same things
What's the difference?
What's the difference?
Same conditions, same issues
Only difference is the treatment
Everyday ah di same treatment
It's 2018 yet blacks still getting slave treatment
Small slice ah di cake treatment
Prejudice to the face treatment
And nobody else can't relate because they don't ever get the same treatment
Many of them unaware
Either that or they don't care
They ain't even tryna hear about any of the bad things happening to us
Somehow hearing about it is actually worse than going through it
Newsflash homie, you don't wanna hear about it and we don't wanna go through it
If just having a discussion about it is so uncomfortable
Just know that the experience is way worse
And some point you have to ask yourself
Why are you ok with this happening to us?
