Reparations can't bring back our ancestors Cops, the original kidnappers No justice, no peace Abolish the police Knee to the neck You don't serve and protect Us, so who do we trust You out here being reckless Look around Shit going down Ain't no freedom In this town Knee to the back Ya anti-Black Our melanin has always Been under attack Silence ain't enough, time to shift the mentality Let's take a knee to end police brutality Let's get free Give liberation libations Let's get free For the Future generations Ancestors rolling in the grave They help to keep us feeling brave They shed blood And they shed tears It's on us to conquer our fears It's on us to conquer our fears Living in a nightmare Somebody, anybody wake me up from despair Not going to agree to disagree But Juneteenth didn't set us free 1865-We wanted dead or alive Bounty on our head And oppression is the prize Who do we call What we gonna do When the culprit and the criminal is you Overseer, Overseer oops I mean officer Officer, Officer, Nah I mean overseer Batons as whips Chains within grip Uniforms of the oppressor Grab the gun from the dresser Don't forget the noose And to you-we're strange fruit Blood on the leaves And bitter at the root Black cop Black cop Such a fucking sell out In uniform you're them Embodying the sin And then when you clock out You at the fucking cookout Ya afraid of us but we afraid of you Trading in your black life and traded it for blue The issue is the system It ain't really with you Let's get free Give liberation libations Let's get free For the future generations Ancestors rolling in the grave They help to keep us feeling brave They shed blood And they shed tears It's on us to conquer our fears It's on us to conquer our fears This ain't only in America This is another global pandemic A State of emergency Not just killing Black men Rip George Floyd But women Rip Breonna Taylor Trans people Rip Tony McDade And Children too RIP 7 year old Aiyana Stanley-Jones Killed by SWAT Yo this shit gotta stop I can't breathe Who will fight for me We can't breathe Who will fight for us Who can we trust Who can we trust No justice, no peace Abolish the police No justice, no peace Abolish the police
