(police sirens)

Put ya hands up hands up
Kneel to the ground
If you stand up stand up
Shoot you back down
To the ground face down
Let a couple rounds off
Turn the body cam off
Drag you thru the mud
While your body still warm
Growing up black
It’s a fact
This the norm
Living in a white mans world
Where the odds get stacked
You don’t catch no breaks
no give and take
Gotta take what you want
Gotta break down the doors
Gotta give no fuck
Fuck fuck
Cold stares in the grocery store
You know what that does to a 10 year old
When his mind ain’t right
Cause of what you said
Staying up late nights
Thinking what he did
He ain’t did shit wrong
But he so confused
Now he grown
And he mad
Cause what he been thru
Educated rehabilitated
Now affiliated with the right team
Time to make they move
Tired of seeing 16 shots
In the back of Laquan
Or whichever black man they choose
Fuck the shield
I kneel with Kaep
Bear Down to the heart
But the league is wack
Road to redemption
I don’t need a map
No intermission
Going back to back to back back


We Stay on the defense like prevent
The boat made our ancestors seasick
Bleed when we fight for our freedom
You think that we kneel for no reason

Like a rose bloomed from the cement
Fight for what our hearts believe in
Turn on the news any evening
If you think that we kneel for no reason

We Stay on the defense like prevent
The boat made our ancestors seasick
Bleed when we fight for our freedom
You think that we kneel for no reason

Like a rose bloomed from the cement
Fight for what our hearts believe in
Turn on the news any evening
If you think that we kneel for no reason


We Stay on the hunt
Never giving it up
And never giving in
We gon fight til the end
We ain’t regular men
We ain’t come to pretend
Never break only bend
Bucking the trend
Look we at it again
No more living in sin
I’m just living to win
Let it blow in the wind
In the snow wearing timbs
I highly recommend
That you listen again
Please tell a friend
That they killing us
Drilling us
down to the ground
Ain’t no stopping us now
Ain’t no topping the crown
Ain’t no getting around it
You fuck with the sound
Cause it sounds so astounding
running the race
Feel like running in place
They gunning for our race
Ain’t nowhere that we safe
Ain’t no way we should take
All this shit to the face
It is such a disgrace
how they spit on our grave
Our people died
So we could be alive
So there’s no question why
We don’t take it in stride
Why we light up the night
Like the 4th of July
Put my hands to the sky
I ain’t ready to die
I look at the youth
And I see that the truth
Ain’t too far from the lies
That you selling us
Why are you telling us
Bullshit like we never won shit
Or we never own shit
I’m taking control
And I’m seizing the moment


We Stay on the defense like prevent
The boat made our ancestors seasick
Bleed when we fight for our freedom
You think that we kneel for no reason

Like a rose bloomed from the cement
Fight for what our hearts believe in
Turn on the news any evening
If you think that we kneel for no reason

We Stay on the defense like prevent
The boat made our ancestors seasick
Bleed when we fight for our freedom
You think that we kneel for no reason

Like a rose bloomed from the cement
Fight for what our hearts believe in
Turn on the news any evening
If you think that we kneel for no reason
