Who understand us
They still wanna brand us
Who got the answers
Probably not you tell real shady stand up
Tell you pull your pants up
Still shoot when our hands up
It's even on camera
What more do you need, don't want us to think but loving our dance huh
Giving rubber band love
Who understands me tryna be what they can't be
Chill under canopies
Weather my storms then hop on the phantom breeze
Tryna travel the seven seas before my decade three
I feel I'm lucky to make it past seventeen
Daddy he lectured me all through my life, hoping I'd shine my light
Cause boys like us have it dimmed before their time
They been out here clipping wings
It's really a wicked thing
Flipping George Washington with double sided head
All the odds stacked up unevenly
I still believe in we
I still believe me
Sheesh is that all we need though
Now we've got bigot figured they creeping into the White House
Freddy Krueger imp'n on shoulders putting the lights out
Open eyes up no you can't sleep tonight y'all
They stealing dreams and will have your souls by the nightfall
Have your would by the nightfall
They may have your soul by the nightfall
They stealing the dreams and may have your soul by the nightfall
Look I'm not your negro thug nigga, criminal half wit
Nor your inferior boy, I'll tell you exactly what I am
I'm a man brother son, descendant of Bahamians
Human being foremost, although black's what you detect right
And that's fine, but you can't tell me you don't see an animal in my eyes
Even before you allow, my character to truly shine
Pass me prejudice, based on the stereotypes
I roll the dice, hoping for sevens
Damn I end up wit nines
Momma told me when we walk thru stores, keep your hand in your pocket
Not cause if you break you buy it
But when the young black man walk on the scene
They get to awkwardly watching
If I'm being honest
It's been a struggle for me to decipher logic behind this interesting means to an end
But I'm sure they feel safe pleading self defense quietly making me prey
This the treatment that make my folks fall to their knees on each day
Sending kites to the Lord, hoping neither my brothers or my life goes to waste
But I suppose that we're still here by way of this amazing grace
Now we've got bigot figured they creeping into the White House
Freddy Krueger imp'n on shoulders putting the lights out
Open eyes up no you can't sleep tonight y'all
They stealing dreams and will have your souls by the nightfall
Have your would by the nightfall
They may have your soul by the nightfall
They stealing the dreams and may have your soul by the nightfall
How 50 plus years after the death of young Emmett Till did we lose a Trayvon for no cause
While no justice was being served in the judicial courts
They had the nerve to acquit the murderer of an innocent young boy
Just on his way home from the store
With no gun in hand, knife in pocket or even hate in his words
Influenced by no substances
In their right minds both parties were
But a jury of his peers let Zimmerman slip through the crack
From decision no turning back cause double jeopardy had killed all that
The movement for civil rights is never ending
Equality for all it still remains to be pending
Who would've thought between humans that this pigment could create so much distance
Your ethnicity has no significance
And culture was only developed through geographical positioning
Had Gondwana and Laurasia remained Pangaea
How would we label the human race specifically
They don't really care about us
They don't really care about us
We gone have to care for ourselves
Now we've got bigot figured they creeping into the White House
Freddy Krueger imp'n on shoulders putting the lights out
Open eyes up no you can't sleep tonight y'all
They stealing dreams and will have your souls by the nightfall
Have your would by the nightfall
They may have your soul by the nightfall
They stealing the dreams and may have your soul by the nightfall
