Yeah Barcodes on our skin tone It’s all good ‘til it hits home Our goal is to win, though But it’s a far throw to the endzone That’s why we’re afraid to be admitted ‘cause it’s all codes in the end, yo Then the cop that put you in there is acquitted Nah, bro, that’s a big “No” Even after they admitted that they did it, and the witnesses filming the cops showed you, They still don’t get what they deserve But we get it Since you lit the flame, you gotta know that you get smoke We fight back, we’re not supposed to up and just “go” Listen: our coping mechanisms don’t do enough Pay attention to the protests The world listened? Cool. What’s next? We gotta try to keep that fire lit right where our heart is They indicted a couple of police, but we will finish what we started Even though it was harder, and you begin to realize they were treating you like a modern day martyr Father forgive me—wait, they keep taking our fathers and slaughtering them all over the world But it’s time that we spoke Either you want us to live, or you don’t Even so, there’s potential for growth But we—wait, where are all the children? What do you mean you “don’t know”? They were “sold”? See, how we supposed to have faith in our vote when all the politicians higher than the state are in the know? Nah, dismantle the whole system And if all lives matter, you should stand here with us The injustice will not prevail You hear me? Feel me? Felt me? Help me! Tell me, who do we run to when there’s no one by my side? Tell me, where we supposed to go when there’s nowhere left to hide? Tell me, what do you see in me when you look into my eyes? But if all lives matter, why I gotta die? Stop killing us Stop killing us, yeah Stop killing us Stop killing us This the way that we been feeling for a minute If you could measure pain, ours would be up in the Guinness See, the world’s so quick to get offended Crazy that the same world will leave us all defenseless But I ain’t ever bowing to supremacy Unless it’s the supreme divinity that I see in me I understand love is the remedy But sometimes I just need to know where that Remy be Where my people at? What’s the state of Hip-Hop? Who been reppin’ black? Who been reading all the reasons that they set us back? Who been studying the history and what’s the facts? Who been teaching all the youth with the blessed wisdom? Who been touching all the meek to get their stress lifted? It’s been about time we on a new mission For conditions, and additions to these transitions It’s the glitches that’ll save us from this dark system No “S” on my chest, I’m no Clark Kent I’m more T’Challa, but this ain’t Wakanda So I guess I’m Killmonger, ‘cause my heart bent If it ain’t broken in the trash bin But I think I just found my second wind Tell these crooked cops that they ain’t never win Tell all of my people that I love ‘em and I’m always thinking ‘bout ‘em ‘til the very end I am not asking I am demanding I do not know what you’re not understanding I am not asking I am demanding Stop killing us Stop killing us Stop killing us I need revisions for my niggas ‘cause they got us twisted 2020 got the sun shining a little different May rays fall onto skin that’s white What’s a Gentile to a Israelite I’m like a pit on a chain with some fleas, I’m just itching to fight ‘cause every app got a vid of family losing their life Sisters mishandled while pregnant; I see trauma and strife Screen reflections of a glare off the gloss in my eyes Still ain’t numb to it All the news dumb to it Shorty only 8, I had to break my oldest son to it Granny shed a tear, ‘cause she prayed we wouldn’t come to this Laid a sold path in the past, but we ain’t run through it Time to change some policies, ‘cause we done made enough music Mobbin’ in the streets as a unit; that’s just one movement Gotta put the knight in a position we can best use it (Yeah) We really out here walking up, they really out here gunning down Really want equality, they scared we seek revenge now (They scared, they scared) We really out here walking up, they really out here gunning down Really want equality, they scared we seek revenge now (They scared, they scared, they scared, they scared) Check I’m always in the wrong; you always in the right I’m always in the dark; you always in the light You shot me down ‘cause you seen that my future was bright Now you feel no remorse, privileged ‘cause your skin is white Damn Stop killing us Stop killing us No, no, no Stop Yeah No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no Ah, no It’s the dawn of a new day Revolution well past the due date Charitable moves just a little too late Unapologetic We rise so the ancestors don’t regret it And if the generation before us did drop the ball We pick it back up by going trampling the malls Brick by brick until Babylon fall Good to see you niggas onto somethin’ other than the C.R.E.A.M. Damn, thought y’all forgot about the dream (Oh, no) Amongst other things, they tryna get us with a vaccine (Oh, no) Couple of years later, you won’t even be able to bear a queen (Oh, no) There’s a war goin’ on outside black man ain’t safe from Until you turning to adjacent (Hee) Black and white together, too? (Oou) Shit, that’s mason (Hee) Tryin’ they hardest to forget about the bacon Rebellion, oh (Wasn’t that on American soil?) For the mascots capin’ in the streets for the beasts You could get it, too Hip-Hop generations Man, we with it too Actual change is the only thing that we committed to Fear of a Black planet They can’t stand it Oh, my Oh, my I’m just tryna make something happen for my passion But some niggas wanna see me crash Racin’ on this road tryna chase success Tryna reach my goals so my kids be blessed Big heart never lackin’, I’m a Black man Good soul, yeah, I know myself Prayin’ up to God, yeah, I know my health Prayin’ up to God, yeah, I know myself So, stop killin’ us Stop killin’ us Stop killin’ us Both hands to God, with praying hands up When we doin’ that, they tyin’ our hands up (Why) We already tried puttin’ our hands up (Real) When we bring ‘em down, we pickin’ our mans up (Why) It’s the same story again and again A couple of my friends is still in the wind (Still) How can we think righteous, livin’ in sin? (How) Better be glad we want peace instead of revenge (Real) Look into my eyes Can you see the pain? Time to take the rhetoric and change some things Introduce equality and change the game It’s all about a dollar but we came for change “I can’t breathe” (Nah) has really been the moniker Tryna live life, but we can’t ‘til Your Honor call Set me free (Free) Free to be the King that I am Bless my Queens to be free and be free to do them Let my brothers out them chains and be free to do them We said “Let Freedom Ring”, show me freedom again I just wanna live wealthy and free with the pen But this country want me dead, or never free from the pen When we all ride together for a real cause, that’s a revolution We ask for justice, they give us excuses Who really problematic when we came for solutions? Universal movement Gotta change the blueprint To us it feel like we martyrs But to them we just targets All because my skin darker They quick to blam and just off us, yeah It don’t matter who in office, yeah Black life fills up them coffins, yeah Y’all plant the seeds, now this harvest Y’all plant the seeds Stop killin’ us Stop killin’ us Stop killin’ us Stop killin’ us, yeah Our tears fertilize their wealth while we six feet Prayin’ that my momma get a chance to close her eyes when she sleep ‘Cause there’s murder on my mind if you take one of mine, no I want peace, we need peace, we want peace, no Black lives matter, no, I’m a lighter skin Tell me how can I win when my skin is my sin When my hands in the sky and you let them bullets fly I want peace, you took my kind, I killed y’all twice though I’m tired of hurtin’, watchin’ it all My voice is starting to lose its surface I’m shaking, I’m breaking, I’m breaking, I’m shaking, I’m breakin
