Lyrics
Way too fed up
Never really understood
And no disrespect but I can’t keep my head up
alotta pressure in the hood
But u kno what they say about pressure
Let it go too long and u might bust pipes
If u see what I seen on the block guarantee you’d be fixing leaks every night
What they preachin now we done heard twice
Crooked cops never served right
We done marched on we done cried out
Now we fightin bacc like it’s purge night
Call it what u want but we still livin like we in slavery
keep the mule but we comin for our 40 acres
hands up like don’t shoot
Try to shut us down but we won’t mute
U tryna open eyes tell the whole truth
This the end of the road like low fuel
No more sellin us false hope
Promising change u never provide
No wonder we losin lives
Got us playin games that we’ll never survive
Same struggle on the same blocc
Same hate from the same cops
Different times but the same clock
No rainbows after raindrops
Same losses same rate
Different Karen but the same hate
New year but the same date
Same debt still paid late
Fires burnin now u ain’t puttin out our heat
Rosa parks showed em we ain’t gettin out our seat
MLK said let’s try to do this with peace
Malcolm X said get it done by any means
So it’s bombs over Baghdad
Solvin problems wit bad math
If all lives really matter then why it’s a lot of lives ain’t even half mad
And corona virus y’all, is it real
Give em something that kill em and then watch them kill themselves
2 for 1 deal
Put us on lockdown tryna cover up what’s goin on in the background
Tryna get us to back down
But we settin up camp grounds
Oscar to Trayvon
Been witnessing hate crimes
This ain’t jus about George Floyd
Stop actin surprised my people make war noise
