Protests and growing national
outcry continues over
the death of George Floyd
Section 8 just straight cooked
this motherfucker up
Last night people protesting in
Minneapolis escalated
As demonstrators were lashed by
tear gas and rubber bullets
The main message here
the main message here
the main message here
Is that they want to see those
officers involved
They want to see those
officers arrested
Officers arrested
I can't breathe I can't breathe
Trade my 4x4 for a G63
ain't no more free Lil Steve
I gave 'em chance and
chance and chance again
I even done told them please
I find it crazy the police'll
shoot you and know that you dead
but still tell you to freeze
Fucked up I seen what I seen
I guess that mean hold him down
if he say he can't breathe
It's too many mothers
that's grieving
They killing us for no reason
Been going on
for too long to get even
Throw us in cages
like dogs and hyenas
I went to court and
they sent me to prison
My mama was crushed
when they said I can't leave
First I was drunk
then I sobered up quick
When I heard all that time that
they gave to Taleeb
He got a life sentence plus
We just some products
of our environment
How the fuck they gon' blame us
You can't fight fire with fire
I know
but at least
we can turn up the flames some
Every colored person ain't
dumb and all whites not racist
I be judging by the mind and heart
I ain't really into faces
Fucked up
the way that
we livin' is not getting better
you gotta know how to survive
Crazy I had to tell all of my
loved ones to carry a gun
when they going outside
Stare in the mirror
whenever you drive
Overprotective go crazy for mine
You gotta pay attention
to the signs
Seem like the blind
following the blind
Thinking 'bout everything
that's going on
I boost security up at my home
I'm with my kind
if they right or they wrong
I call him now
he'll pick up the phone
And it's five in the morning
he waking up on it
Tell 'em wherever I'm at
then they comin'
I see blue lights
I get scared and start runnin'
That shit be crazy
they 'posed to protect us
Throw us in handcuffs
and arrest us
While they go home at night
that shit messed up
Knowing we needed help
they neglect us
Wondering who gon' make them
respect us
I can see in your eye
that you fed up
Fuck around got my shot
I won't let up
They know that
we a problem together
They know that
we can storm any weather
It's bigger than black and white
It's a problem with the whole
way of life
It can't change overnight
But we gotta start somewhere
Might as well gon'
'head start here
We done had a hell of a year
I'ma make it count while I'm here
God is the only man I fear
Fuck it
I'm goin' on the front line
He gon' bust your ass if you
come past that gun line
You know when the storm go away
then the sun shine
You gotta put your head in the
game when it's crunch time
I want all my sons to
grow up to be monsters
I want all my daughters
to show out in public
Seems like we losing our country
But we gotta stand up
for something
so this what it comes to
Every video I see on my conscience
I got power
now I gotta say somethin'
Corrupted police been the
problem where I'm from
But I'd be lying
if I said it was all of them
I ain't do this for the trend
I don't follow them
Altercations with the law
had a lot of them
People speaking for the people
I'm proud of them
Stick together
we can get it up out of them
I can't lie like I don't rap
about killing and dope
but I'm telling my youngins
to vote
I did what I did 'cause I didn't
have no choice or no hope
I was forced to
just jump in and go
This bullshit is all that we know
but it's time for a change
Got time to be serious
no time for no games
We ain't takin' no more
let us go from them chains
God bless they souls
every one of them names
It's bigger than black and white
It's a problem with the whole
way of life
It can't change overnight
But we gotta start somewhere
Might as well gon'
'head start here
We done had a hell of a year
I'ma make it count while I'm here
God is the only man I fear
They trainin' officers to kill us
then shootin' protestors
with these rubber bullets
They regular people
I know that they feel it
These scars too deep to heal us
What happened to COVID
Nobody remember
It ain't makin' sense
I'm just here to vent
It happen to one of your people
it's different
We get it the system is wicked
just learn how to pick it
Knowledge is power
I swear I'm a witness
I know that I'm gifted
I won't go too deep
'cause I'm scared
they'll get me
Ain't scared to admit it
some shit I can't mention
It's people who can well
here's the chance
I won't take the stand
but I'll take a stand
for what I believe
Must not be breathing the air
that I breathe
You know that the way
that I bleed
you can bleed
I never been a fan of police
But my neighborhood know
I try to keep peace
So it's only right that
I get in the streets
March for a reason
not just on GP
Our people died for us to be free
Fuck do you mean
This was a dream
Now we got the power
that we need to have
They don't want us with it and
that's why they mad yeah
It's bigger than black and white
It's a problem with the whole
way of life
It can't change overnight
But we gotta start somewhere
Might as well gon'
'head start here
We done had a hell of a year
I'ma make it count while I'm here
God is the only man I fear
It's bigger than black and white
It's a problem with the whole
way of life
It can't change overnight
But we gotta start somewhere
Might as well gon'
'head start here
We done had a hell of a year
I'ma make it count while I'm here
God is the only man I fear
