Claiming you serve and protect all But the colored flesh you neglect Stay throwing us in them cell walls Where we constantly calling collect Or they grab us from cars and beat us so hard Leave us struggling for breath Now we on go just like Malcolm X And we ain't showing no respect We ain't showing no respect We ain't showing no respect We ain't showing no respect We ain't showing no respect Used to get killed on a plantation Now we get killed for a citation It's a whole different life for them people with hite written on they identification How is this the land of the free When the mass of my people incarcerated Just take a look at our family tree Man this shit been going on for some generations We some survivors thats just trynna make it Anger built up we can no longer tame it Its been 400 years and we still fighting racist Stuck in this shit we can no longer take it No longer quiet, we fighting and rioting Now the whole world is spiraling outta control Like where the hell do we go And who do we turn to When 12 treating us like dog food If they minded they business we'd be cool And they wonder why niggas keep attitudes How you black thinking white you a real coon All this shit weighing hard on my mental So i put all my thoughts in a pencil We not cared about its evidential Can't even live up to our own potential Even as a lil kid in the way we lived it was f*ck the pigs and thas pidd Back in the day they was never recording it Now it's on tv and shit taking wind Name after name, the list is inordinate Knocking us off cuz of our colored skin No logic behind it, they do it unwarranted Thinking that we gone take it to the chin This country pathetic They shooting us crazy like some kinda fetish Blackface using us for aesthetic I see em and run i get super athletic You bet it Tamir Rice was 12 and got shot for pellet Eric Garner couldn't breath he was Sandra Bland, she was crying out helpless Breaonna Taylor RIP to you precious Have you ever been sleep waking up to gun sounds And start praying that it ain't yo people You ever been riding 4 deep then 12 surround And white people say that we equal Y.ou ever had somebody smile right in yo face then back stab you for no reason Back at home it aint no people pleasing Just some young kids trynna find meaning In this life You could lose it all in one night I ain even talking bout no tv channel but my god brother facing a life time My big cousin was locked up for years and my people aint let me go see him not one time Got me yelling free the bloodline My.black folks need sunshine So we fist up on the frontline Always not sometimes If we stick together we can all rise Cuz we hell bent on the same prize You can see the pain in our fatigued eyes Tired of seeing our mamas crying Kids worried bout they brother dying We walk out the house oso terrified Trynna avoid police homicide White people just don't understand All around the world them people verified While we still stuggle to advance Honestly, we been treated uncivilized For years we been trapped in this circumstance 2020 living in a genocide I am just another black man In a cold world, being minimized We ain't showing no respect We ain't showing no respect We ain't showing no respect We ain't showing no respect Used to get killed on a plantation Now we get killed for a citation It's a whole different life for them people with hite written on they identification How is this the land of the free When the mass of my people incarcerated Just take a look at our family tree Man this shit been going on for some generations
