They killing our fathers They killing our sons They killing our sisters and mothers for fun We ain't much different just born in the sun They wondering why revolution begun Charging us interest (Charging us interest) Based on the pigment We filling up prisons more than where we live in (Where we living) We need a change Talking about a new system (Uh, yeah) Sick and we tired (Sick and we tired) Hundreds of years We been enslaved And looted for hire Stole from our homes And sold to a buyer Going against Have you burned at a pyre Work in the fields On crops that were dryer So that our captors Could build an empire (F*ck that) Tryna be free Tryna be more than someones property (F*ck that) Tryna go flee But lost half my brothers and sisters at sea (f*ck that) Family tree Is altered cause they went on a shopping spree (F*ck that) Planting my seed But hope they don't make an example of me Working my palms everyday till they bleed They raping our daughters and wives as they please We plotting We plotting They think that we lost and I'd rather be north And free like In Boston Tonight is the night When we'll get this shit popping No looking back They kept all us boxed in Flipping the chapters Offing our masters So that our people Could link up after ugh They killing our fathers They killing our sons They killing our sisters and mothers for fun We ain't much different just born in the sun They wondering why revolution begun Charging us interest (Charging us interest) Based on the pigment We filling up prisons more than where we live in (Where we living) We need a change Talking about a new system Feel emancipated (Feel emancipated) Now free cause we just made it (Free cause we just made it) Built homes and procreated (Procreated) Jim Crow now segregated (Segregated) Three fifths is what they stated (What they stated) Was our worth they just degraded (Ugh) Feeling so frustrated Why they brought us on a slave ship ? (Shit) Not even human Got another door For you and you and (You and) No equal schooling Ain't up to par So they treat us like mutants (Mutants) F*ck your excuses We about go And start a new movement (F*ck that) Lived by the union Shipped us to war Coming back More ruined War against drugs So they locking us up PTSD ain't no one there for us No opportunities Rounding us up Where we living, no funding They call it a slum (They call it a slum) From project housing Tryna get grounded Only options that we founded Athletes or artists Separate margins To get money in the thousands And glorified pigs (Glorified pigs) Step on the ribs and necks Of our parents and kids They pulling the trig (Pulling the trig) Our hands up Dawg what the f*ck ups with this? I ain't tryna rap about just ice More about justice and rights R.I.P. to Floyd also Bre Brown, Bland, Sterling and Arbery Plus the rest (Plus the rest) They killing our fathers They killing our sons They killing our sisters and mothers for fun We ain't much different just born in the sun They wondering why revolution begun Charging us interest (Charging us interest) Based on the pigment We filling up prisons more than where we live in (where we living) We need a change Talking about a new system (About a new system)
