Here we are again
Another black man
Being slain
IN BROAD DAY LIGHTHere we are again
Another man
Shot to death
Another black mans lifeHangs in the balance
Another black mans life
Took...
Took way too soonThey yell
HANDS UP
... then shootYou run
N' they seek
With their Glock 17
Cock n' loadedHands down by your side
Then up behind your head
Like they DIDNT just bark orders
They rush to your sideNow you've lost your life
All this due to GUN VIOLENCE
N' the Ill equipped
Fully trained officersGet to claim
It was an accident
If you're black
You've just becomeA walking target
It ain't safe on these streets
If your skin is darker
Then the darkest shade of pale ivoryIt ain't safe on these street
If your hair is kinkier
Then a 2c
...A 2CBecause apparently
How nappy your hair is
Defines whether or not you're a person
Or if you deserve to liveHere we are again
Mourning the lost
Of another human being
Due to hatredYou walk
THEY SHOOT
You run
THEY SHOOTWhite privilege
Can I have some of that?Because apparently
You don't have the right
To sleep in your own home
To walk the streets
In your own neighborhoodYou comply
N' they end your life
They wear our lives
Like they wear those badgesWe scream
#BLACK LIVES MATTER
Then they scream
#blue lives matter
#BLACK LIVES MATTER
#all lives matterAPPARENTLY YOU HAVEN'T HEARD
ALL BLACK LIVES MATTERA PROTEST TO OUR PROTEST
FUCK KIND OF SHIT IS THATAll I hear is
I CAN'T BREATHE
I'm handcuffed
On the groundWith your foot on my neck
CAN YOU HEAR ME?
I CANT BREATHE
Sir I'm not resisting arrestIf you let go I'll do what you need
If you move your knee
Off my neck I'll stop moving
Sir... can you hear me?!I CAN'T BREATHE
I guess it'll never be enough
The one up they have on us
IN GENERALI guess it'll never be enough
They gotta paint the streets
With our blood
Then wear our cultureLike like it wasn't just called ghetto
Five second ago
What will it take
To be equalWhat will it take
To be safe when
Walking down the street
In your own neighborhoodWhat will it take
To not fit the description
Of every wrongdoerWhat are we supposed to do?
My ancestors fought
Just so my brothers n' sisters bodies
Can lay in the dirtCeasing to exist
Being alive while BLACK
Is exhausting
Damn,
Damn can I have some
White privilege
