God your people live in the midst of men
Who like hunters
Lay traps for their prey
Who like hunters
Target the poor and the marginalized and the oppressed
Dear Heavenly Father
And because we are targeted
Because we have lived this life
Where our bodies and souls and spirits and our minds
Have been mutilated day after day after day
Because your people are targeted
Dear Heavenly Father
We need you rise up
Dear Heavenly Father
But we don't ask you to rise up on your own
We don't ask you to rise up and do all of the protecting yourself
We ask that you would rise up
In us
And equip us
To be able to protect ourselves
Amen
They come for us
In the middle of the night
They ain't knocking they just shooting
In the middle of the night
But then they mad that we looting
In the middle of the night
Ain't for nothin we want justice
Man this just ain't right
Momma said what's done in dark
Always seem to come to light
She also told us don't go down
Without a muthafucking fight
And it's hard cause we been fighting
This our whole fucking life
Its like they always got a gun
When we barely got a knife
Feel like it's bound to go left
And we barely got rights
When we got fire in our eyes
And they veins cold as ice
We practically made the pie
And they barely share a slice
When they can take our last steps
Do they even blink twice

We screaming black lives
They say all lives
But it really ain't the same when they say all rise
It's time for us to live and not just survive
It's been us for too long we need all eyes
I swear to tell the truth and the whole truth
Not one lie told in this whole booth
I couldn't make this up if I wanted to
Both arms up screaming don't shoot
Cause we targets
It ain't right but we always had it the hardest
It's like it's branded on our skin that we targets
And it's a muthafucking shame
It can never be the same
But it's time for us the change that we
Targets

They walk wit us and pretend to be our friend
But behind closed doors
They just plotting on our end
Make our kids take deals
For shit they wasn't even in
Tell us how it wouldn't have happened
If we just a followed this
They took our fathers away
Screwed us in politics
We still hurt from slavery
They won't even acknowledge it
We gotta look our kids in the eyes
In fear of all of this
And pray they make it home
For the street lights on our only wish
They can shoot us in our back
Smile with they knee on our neck
We get to lose our life
They only lose a check
We get to lose years
They prolly just lose a bet
We get to shed tears
They barely shed respect

We screaming black lives
They say all lives
But it really ain't the same when they say all rise
It's time for us to live and not just survive
It's been us for too long we need all eyes
Cause we targets
It ain't right but we always had it the hardest
It's like it's branded on our skin that we targets
And it's a muthafucking shame
It can never be the same
But it's time for us the change that we
Targets

I swear to tell the truth and the whole truth
Not one lie told in this whole booth
I couldn't make this up if I wanted to
Both arms up screaming don't shoot
Blaow
On camera and can't get a trial
They don't even give a f*ck if our kids around
Why we can't jog our streets without fear and doubt
We gotta lift ourselves up when they put us down
Cross our chest or fist up
They gotta hear us loud
Tichalla to Huey Newton
We Black Panther proud
They'll try to shoot us in the legs
Just for standing out
Stand for something or stand for nothing
No more standing round
We already lost too much
It's time to shake the towns
Til they can't drown out the noise
And they can't take the sounds
Sometimes to truly rebuild
You gotta tear it down
Set the world on fire
So they can hear us now

Cause we targets
It ain't right but we always had it the hardest
It's like it's branded on our skin that we targets
And it's a muthafucking shame
It can never be the same
But it's time for us the change that we
Targets
