This is the streets talking for themselves
Save my brothers, take them out the trees
How long do you gotta breathe?
I mean, how long you gotta sleep?
Until the freedom is finally free
And the U.S. of A is what it claim to be?
They planting lies in these streets
Gotta analyze what you see
Gotta strategize what we need
I’ll be exercising my speech and bending my knees
'Til no man is left to bleed
I'm over the bullshit and politics
This is human life, this is common sense
And say "f*ck off" to these apologists
Who be swapping sides when the problems switch
(Stop treating us like animals and thugs
And start treating us with some respect)
Nah, this ain't no more saying "please"
This ain't no more love and peace
I'm boutta keep a fucking piece on me
Long as police be the street army
We gotta defund, give it to teachers
Sending the millions out to the children
Let them all build up, legalizing the reefer
Keep them out of that D Block
We need a reform, teaching them taxes
Start a career path younger than average
We need affirmative action
(Yes! Yes!)
We need every last one accounted for
Take the black tape off the badges
'Cause they big enough to make the whip crack
But ain’t man enough to take the lashes
Fucking bastards
You're taking my breath away
You're taking my breath away
You're taking my breath away
(Save my brothers, take them out the trees
How long do you gotta breathe?
I mean, how long you gotta sleep?
Until the freedom is finally free
And the U.S. of A is what it claim to be?)
You're taking my breath away
(Eight minutes, and forty-six seconds!)
And they didn’t hide from me in history
They taught me the names, they taught me the places
Man, they taught me everything
And that wasn’t missed on me
They taught me civil rights
And sit-downs and riots and fire hydrants
And K9s chasing and segregation
And Brown vs. Board of Education
And I thought we was in a better place by then
One desk to the next, all changes skin
That never stopped me from making friends
Black, white, brown, Spanish and Asian, and
All religion, all orientation, man
Everybody got a spot at the table, man
I thought we were the face of the nation, man
'08 was when
When we watched Obama get sworn into office
I could’ve sworn we was making some progress
But now I’m embarrassed and I’ve been demoralized
As I realize where the morals lie, but I
Won’t let it be normalized
The privileged getting all crippled with pride
Sick in the head, and they living a lie
While innocent melanin children die
So the girls and the guys, put a fist up high
If you tryna make it out the protest alive
Meek will inherit the land, one time
Meek gon' inherit the land, two time
Power to the people, let them hear it, all right
Power to the people, let them feel it, on sight
More power, more color, more life
More power, more color, more life
You're taking my breath away
You're taking my breath away
(Meek will inherit the land, one time
Meek gon' inherit the land, two time)
You're taking my breath away
(Meek will inherit the-
Meek will inherit the-
Meek will inherit the land, one time)
You're taking my breath away
(Meek will in- meek will in- meek will in- meek will in-
Meek will inherit the land, two time)
Meek will in- will in- will in- will in- will in- will in- will in-
Meek will inherit the land, one time
Meek will in- will in- will in- will in- will in- will in- will in-
Meek will in- will in- will in- will in- will in- will in- will in-
Meek will in- will in- will in- will in- will in- will in- will in-
Will in- will in- will in- will in- will in- will in- will in- will in-
Will in- will in- will in- will in- will in- will in- will in- will in-

Will in- will in- will in- will in- will in- will in- will in- will in-
Meek will inherit the land, two time
