Yall ready? What we gon do? (Shut it down) What we gon do? (Shut it down) You can’t restrict the movement (nah nah) You can’t restrict the movement (nah nah) You can’t restrict the movement This is self expression You can’t restrict the movement Never apologize for saying how you feel That’s like saying you sorry for being real And ever since Michael Brown Man them crackers still killing Prolly shooting someone right now B-L-A-C-K lives they matter everyday And it’s a shame that we had to say it in the first place And ever since Rodney King got beat I done lost count of all the Blacks dying in the street Not a nam one time did we get a conviction They be ice-skating here we are still bitching Nope not complaining, peaceful protesting Marching down the street our voice is the only weapon What’s going on in Charlottesville, what happened in St. Lou I don’t know but it’s strong enough to shut down U2 And ever since Sandra Bland We got tiki torches out here representing the klan Yeah I got a statement and some action Expressing my disapproval by all of the shit that’s happening And this is more than just a demonstration Regardless of the event, policies, and the situation This is self expression You can’t restrict the movement (nah nah) You can’t restrict the movement (nah nah) You can’t restrict the movement This is self expression You can’t restrict the movement Never apologize for saying how you feel That’s like saying you sorry for being real And ever since Michael Brown Man them crackers still killing Prolly shooting someone right now Ever since Trayvon we continue to pray on The struggle still real but it’s just another day gone The more things change the more they staying the same Whose streets (our streets) is a everyday saying Protect and to serve shit you could’ve fooled me People don’t be knowing shit and steady trying to school me Man f*ck them windows can’t you see somebody son died Every time I turn around it seems another mother cried Another casualty by the boys in blue I’m Black and unarmed and that’s a threat to you The police the governor and the jain, the whole damn system is guilty as hell And ever since Freddy Gray I been praying for a better way, hoping for a better day But don’t nobody listen til you start a fire You see I don’t protect cuz I’ll start the fire This is self expression You can’t restrict the movement (nah nah) You can’t restrict the movement (nah nah) You can’t restrict the movement This is self expression You can’t restrict the movement Never apologize for saying how you feel That’s like saying you sorry for being real And ever since Michael Brown Man them crackers still killing Prolly shooting someone right now They think it’s a joke (naw they think it’s a game) They think it’s a joke (yo they think it’s a game) They think it’s a joke (ay yo they thinking it’s a game) They think it’s a joke (naw they think it’s a game) When Black lives are under attack (what do we do) Stand up fight back I said When Black lives are under attack (what do we do) Stand up fight back
