Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Somebody is on the ground
Somebody on the ground
Callin' out an awful sound
Callin' out an awful sound
"Mama, Mama, Mama, Mama!"
[Chorus]
Don't call the police
Don't call the police
Don't call the police
Don't call the police
If you wanna live another day
Another day
Another day
[Verse 2]
Black bodies in the street
Black bodies in the street
America, beauty, empathy, prosperity
Consciousness, decadence, poverty, apathy
[Chorus]
Don't call the police
Don't call the police
Don't call the police
Don't call the police
If you wanna live another day
[Verse 3]
His sister's on the ground
His brother is on the ground
His children, they're all on the ground
His prayers are on the ground
His dreams, they're on the ground
His hope, his hope
We're all, we're all on the ground
We're all, we're all on the ground
Mama, Mama, Mama
[Chorus]
Don't call the police
Don't call the police
Don't call the police
Don't call the police
Don't call the police
Don't call the police
Don't call the police, oh
Don't call the police
If ya wanna die another day
