Whoa oh oh oh
Oh, yeah yeah
Ah ah ah
Ah ah ah

Eye for an eye, knee for a knee
You declared war, but you don't want peace
You just want shit, and we are not sleep
Blood on your hands, blood on our streets
Oh, our tears in the night, another stolen life
'Cause color is all you see
Tell me, is that free, yeah?

We are not created equal, no
I could give a f*ck if I offend a couple people, yo (tell me, is that free)
What the f*ck is you watching us, it's never in the sequel fo'
Let me wipe these tears, and speak the truth to all my people, oh
The f*ck is you doin'? Where we goin' wrong?
Got a 12 year old, but I sing this type of shit up in his songs
Gotta big up his pops and his moms
The youngin' braver than a lot of these niggas that songs
Watch all of my people that they tryna trample 
It's time to form and get to lead 'em by every example
In the bathroom, you wash your faces with us
You ain't ready for tradin' places with us
My heart hurt bad
And I talk my shit like this for my kids, they be lookin' for dad (Yeah, yeah)
Energy transfer, kids look at me mad
Gotta still be the source for hope though it's hurtin' me bad

Eye for an eye, knee for a knee
You declared war, but you don't want peace
You just want shit, and we are not sleep
Blood on your hands, blood on our streets
Oh, our tears in the night, another stolen life
'Cause color is all you see
Tell me, is that free

Look at all the shit my people been through
The ghetto want my kids to live too
Can't imagine them parents copin'
In they arms with the breathless body they holdin' (yeah)
God bless the tear of every mama cryin'
Children leave the house wonderin' if today they dyin'
The nerve to say there's bigger fish worth fryin'
If you ain't with us better know we're riotin' (I believe)
And while you front, and you just walk about
If we ain't fightin' for what's right, then what we talk about?
And while I fight with all the might, now let me source it out
Inspire folks, become the activist they talk about
A long blessin' for every soul that's fallen
Snoop Dogg and others told me to accept my callin'
Prayin' to Jesus, hangin' on your wall and
Black man hopin' to make it home tomorrow mornin'

Eye for an eye, knee for a knee
You declared war, 'cause you don't want peace
You just want shit, and we are not sleep
Blood on your hands, blood on our streets
Oh, our tears in the night, another stolen life
'Cause color is all you see
Tell me, is that free, yeah?

I wanna know
Do you really believe?
Do really believe that we're free?
Yeah, yeah yeah yeah
I wanna know
