What you think you gon' do When the trigger's on you, brother? How you think you gon' move When it's bigger than you, brother? What you think you gon' do When the trigger's on you, brother? How you think you gon' move When it's bigger than you? Please don't pick that pocket There's a face like yours in this locket And they won't hesitate to kick me out this Shopping mall 'cause we're their target And they gon' crawl around this market To follow y'all 'cause y'all look suspect That group too big to beg their pardon And news told me some racist jargon A black face and black hoodie a political symbol And the gavel comes down like the crash of a cymbal Not a thimble, not a pick, but it's sewn into the brick Jack be nimble, Jack be quick at the burning of a stick And the burning of a bush told me that I was great But the burning of a cross told me to play it safe 'Cause somehow my actions represent a whole race It's hard to move different when your face is our face, ah What you think you gon' do When the trigger's on you, brother? How you think you gon' move When it's bigger than you, brother? What you think you gon' do When the trigger's on you, brother? How you think you gon' move When it's bigger than you? You see the little black boys, yeah, the hood ones Only four finger grabs with the good thumbs You see the way they ran through, they some hoodlums Oh nah, not you man, you're a good one, good one Wish I saw the joke inside the fulsome Hard truth, don't spare me a cushion Brown babes still sucking on the bosom But you ain't feel none When you see the Arab man, it's the bombs and flares When you see the Asian man, it's the yellow scare When you see the black man, it's riots and terror But when I talk about slavery, you weren't there, how convenient Quick to point the judges pole, but now you lenient Your image wasn't up for grabs in this agreement But somehow your actions represent a whole race It's hard to move different when your face is their face, ah What you think you gon' do When the trigger's on you, brother? How you think you gon' move When it's bigger than you, brother? What you think you gon' do When the trigger's on you, brother? How you think you gon' move When it's bigger than you? When it's bigger than you? When it's bigger than you? When it's bigger than you? When it's bigger than you?
