What are you trying to accomplish? What would you like this to be the endgame for you A little space please I mean, ultimately it's to bring awareness and make people realize what's really going on in this country There are a lot of things that are going on that are unjust, people aren't being held accountable for And that's something that needs to change That's something that, you know, this country stands for freedom, liberty, justice for all And it's not happening for all right now There's a lot of things that need to change One specifically is police brutality There's people being murdered unjustly and not being held accountable Cops are getting paid leave for killing people That's not right. That's not right by anyone's standards I'm going to continue to stand with the people that are being oppressed To me, this is something that has to change And when there's significant change, and I feel like that flag represents what it's supposed to represent And this country is representing people the way that it's supposed to, I'll stand F*ck the NFL, they can go to hell, for the way they treatin' Kap First they propped him up, just to pimp him out, now they stab him in the back Tell me why it's like that, mad cuz he speakin' facts Took a knee and y'all still can't see, cops is out here killing blacks Hell nah, that ain't justified, damn right these pigs lie And y'all eat it up like dumb fucks, same scenario happens every time Cop pull out, shots go off, Black folk get killed while the cop gets off Video showing y'all all the proof, blame the victim like that's the truth See, that's that shit I don't like Fake news, far beyond just black and white Look at what they trying to do, Civil war, yeah they want part two Like a remix, funny how everybody can't see this Or maybe they don't want to, hard to care when it really don't affect you But I bet you might lose your shit, if your son or daughter had to take the hit So, quit telling us to let it go when you really don't know what we've been through A closed mind will never take the time to see the other side of the issue You have people that practice law and are lawyers and go to school for eight years But you can become a cop in six months and don't have to have the same amount of training as a cosmetologist That's insane Ain't about the military, ain't about your damn flag This is social injustice, how the hell you can't see that It's empathy you lack, wanna dance around the fact That a world made for whites is twice as hard for blacks Ain't about the military, ain't about your damn flag This is social injustice, how the hell you can't see that It's empathy you lack, wanna dance around the fact That a world made for whites is twice as hard for blacks Built a country on our backs, built a country on our backs And every person of color, go ahead, check the stats Built a country on our backs, built a country on our backs And every person of color, go ahead, check the stats From the slave trade to the railroad, get out the way or get steamrolled America, the next episode, don't give a shit, just freeload Got land, I'ma take that, y'all was here first, we laugh at that It's mine now, no take backs, Is there a problem here, just show the strap Strong arm, steal shit, then collect the profit Call it manifest destiny, no way to stop my progress It's obvious, we don't give a f*ck about none of y'all As a matter of fact, be grateful, you're even allowed to live here at all Got jobs, got family, got a house, got a wife But just know, better stay in line or I will sacrifice your life Damn right, game tight, exterminate y'all out of spite That's what white privilege sounds like Ain't about the military, ain't about your damn flag This is social injustice how the hell you can't see that It's empathy you lack, wanna dance around the fact That the world made for whites, is twice as hard for blacks Ain't about the military, ain't about your damn flag This is social injustice, how the hell you can't see that It's empathy you lack, wanna dance around the fact That the world made for whites, is twice as hard for blacks Built a country on our backs, built a country on our backs And every person of color, go ahead, check the stats Built a country on our backs, built a country on our backs And every person of color, go ahead, check the stats I mean, someone that's holding a curling iron has more education and more training Than people that have a gun and are going out on the street to protect us Do you think you might get cut over this I don't know. But if I do, I know I did what's right And I can live with that at the end of the day
