BITE BACK

I saw like 4, 5 police cars on the 405

Fly by in code 3 time to hold the line

They see the weapon in you

No sudden moves if you do

Our very bodies are shotties

Wait til we use our minds

Woke up this morning

To people mourning

Another brother they murdered

Just as a warning

That if we speak up

'Bout how they treat us

They'll do it over and over

Until we bite back

This time we bite back

So let's bite them back

This time we bite back

They'll do it over and over

Until we bite back

Fuck forgiveness, God's a witness and She has seen it all

That's your Jesus, those light features don't look like me at all

I want more pictures of we in books that teach history

I wanna be there when the final racist statue falls

Woke up this morning

To people mourning

Another sister, we miss her

Tensions are soaring

This time we speak up

Make sure they see us

They just gon beat us, won't feed us

Until we bite back

This time we bite back

So let's bite them back

This time we bite back

They'll do it over and over

Until we bite back

That gospel from which you haven't continued to benefit from is the curse by which we continue to be destroyed

So please, please stop preaching their painful privileged gospel and let us live free

Free of the anxiety we experience knowing our lives will be targeted and destroyed

As if to serve as a symbol of the power they have convinced us we do not possess

Our beautiful bodies like trophies placed upon the mantle of a collapsing structure

Well we are the fucking trophies and we are the fucking victims saying

Let's fucking bite back

This time we bite back

So let's bite them back

This time we bite back

They'll do it over and over

Until we bite back

This time we bite back

Let's fucking bite back

This time we bite back

They'll do it over and over

Until we bite back

BITE BACK
