I'm ***, really *** So many names I could list off How many more murders till it really hits, y'all? What it means to be black and American The fact that you can overlook the facts is embarrassing It's twice the rate of police killings, no comparison Took all this for y'all to act like you can, yeah? Mom in the silence So many brothers that we lost to the violence Knee up on your neck is how they check for compliance Say you're short of breath and in a second you're dying So if you hit me with that, not all police are that bad I mean, like, what about my cousin's friend's dad? My problem ain't with everyone that wear a badge It's the ones that wanna abuse the power that they have I could've stayed quiet Could've probably acted like I wasn't fazed by it Post about the new project while they riot But that ain't the type of thinking that'll change climates You either part of the problem or the solution And anybody could play a part in the revolution You do it with your money, your ballot, or with your voice Cause at this point, I don't really think we have a choice This place called Tobacco Road
