Left to right, side to side, do you
Left to right, side to side, do you
Left to right, side to side, you do
Lovin' the way you move it, baby
Let's take our time all the way
 
Nine in the streets, niggas ridin' in the streets
Try to police then we sob and repeat
I done seen this like a hundred million times
Seen a white riot get a black nigga shot
Strapped fully, yes, 'cause the pig finna ride
Blasphemy, yes, they ain't askin' for God
They ran through the stores, they ran through the spas
It's hard to get mad when it's mad niggas gone
Yeah, no fear of the law
Lights turnin' off, niggas head comin' off
Yeah, nigga ran through Dior
Flight Club, goin' in then takin' off
Resilient we are, we still here tomorrow
My dawg got looted, said it's fair but it's hard
America is gone, and here are the results
I'm tryna move different but to where 'cause I'm lost
 
Left, right (left to right, side to side, do you)
Left to right, side to side, do you
Left to right, side to side, you do
Lovin' the way you move it, baby
Let's take our time all the way
 
My niggas want peace, so my niggas want problems
I never lack passion, I maybe lack knowledge
Celebrate the progress, that's how we mobbin'
We was movin' targets and niggas moved Target
Movin' different, I'm trying move smarter
Tryna move black, that's suicidal
Maybe I'm different, seein' shit darker
I'm all that I'm is 'cause the CVS robbers
Trippin' I'm, trippin' I'm, trippin' I'm buggin'
Skippin' curfew just to sit with my brother
Liquor store, liquor store, liquor store runnin'
I'm tryna sip a little but the military frontin'
Roads all covered, the police love it
Some rich black niggas ain't donate nothin'
I won't say nothin, but bro, do better
I'm saying 2020, now we gotta move different like
 
Left to right, side to side, do you
Left to right, side to side, do you
Left to right, side to side, you do
Lovin' the way you move it, baby (and at times violent)
Let's take our time all the way 
 
A peaceful protest in the Fairfax District
Dissolves into civil disobedience
Cruisers vandalized, tagged, and set on fire
Cell phone video shows plumes of black smoke as buildings burned
Protesters smashed windows and looted stores
 
If I could be right next to you
Who my ally? Who my enemy?
Who is who?
If I could be right next to you
Who is empty? Who got empathy?
How you move?
 
Left to right, side to side, do you
Left to right, side to side, do you
Left to right, side to side, you do
Lovin' the way you move it baby
Let's take our time all the way (today)
