I’ve got a target on my head, target on my tongue I’ve got a target on my back, whenever I run They hate our riots Our violence The way we can’t be silenced Our minds and Their offspring They killing off our offspring Our features unattractive til they on the wrong skin Skin don’t make you kin only the real will know this We done cooning Moving To your offbeat music Collusion Its through with We taking back our movement What’s ours is ours And what’s yours is ours You broke our backs for this country But stop breaking our necks Respect it I pledge allegiance to the people who won’t give up Screw that flag and a land that can’t seem to just get enough Of killing us I stand in agreement with the people who’ve had enough We will rise in despite of the forces that’s killing us Cause we gon’ start a riot (What you doing here boy) (You don’t think that we know you ain’t from here) We gon’ cause a riot in here (That’s a really nice car) (Come on now we know it ain’t yours) They killing while we vibrant (Don’t reach for your phone) (You know I’m kinda blind and it looks like a gun) So we vibing and rioting here (Are y’all rioting, rioting) (Are y’all rioting, rioting) We taking back our mindset (What you doing here boy) (You don’t think that we know you ain’t from here) We dancing while we rioting here (That’s a really nice car) (Come on now we know it ain’t yours) We’re doing what we promised (Don’t reach for your phone) (You know I’m kinda blind and it looks like a gun) So we thriving and rioting here (Are y’all rioting, rioting) (Are y’all rioting, rioting) Riot Dancing in the streets torching things of old Kicking down the walls breaking through windows Cutting off your boot straps Taking back our cash sacks Showing you the way we had to boss up Yea, we did that You’re crying till your hoarse with your Michael Kors You thought we were in need, but you see we Gucci Showing you we made you Paved the way you laid claim to Took all our inventions but you’ll never take our livelihood What’s ours is ours And what’s yours is ours You broke our backs for this country But stop breaking our necks Respect it I pledge allegiance to the people who won’t give up Screw that flag and a land that can’t seem to just get enough Of killing us I stand in agreement with the people who’ve had enough We will rise in despite of the forces that’s killing us Cause we gon’ start a riot (What you doing here boy) (You don’t think that we know you ain’t from here) We gon’ cause a riot in here (That’s a really nice car) (Come on now we know it ain’t yours) They killing while we vibrant (Don’t reach for your phone) (You know I’m kinda blind and it looks like a gun) So we vibing and rioting here (Are y’all rioting, rioting) (Are y’all rioting, rioting) We taking back our mindset (What you doing here boy) (You don’t think that we know you ain’t from here) We dancing while we rioting here (That’s a really nice car) (Come on now we know it ain’t yours) We’re doing what we promised (Don’t reach for your phone) (You know I’m kinda blind and it looks like a gun) So we thriving and rioting here (Are y’all rioting, rioting) (Are y’all rioting, rioting) Riot (What you doing here boy) (You don’t think that we know you ain’t from here) (That’s a really nice car) (Come on now we know it ain’t yours) (Don’t reach for your phone) (You know I’m kinda blind and it looks like a gun) (Are y’all rioting, rioting) (Are y’all rioting, rioting)
