(Intro)
|
The images from this weekend's violence in the streets
|
Stores being looted and riot police with dogs barking and charging protesters
|
It all started with the fatal shooting by police of an unarmed black teenager
|
The FBI has now opened an investigate of the shooting
|
The shooting of eighteen year old Micheal Brown
|
Has opened a wound in the community
|
|
(Verse: Dizzy Wright)
|
Neva thought today god would take my friend
|
But I'm dealing with it
|
The police is at it again, and they killing the innocent
|
They consider us gangsters if we don't walk around acting like brothers is feminine
|
Y'all run off adrenaline
|
How ya obey the law by harassing a citizen?
|
How we supposed to feel safe if ya always act scared of us?
|
Somebody must have told ya a lie
|
Not surprised that they calling us animals
|
Living in poverty, tryna survive
|
They say don't be mad at the cops, 96 percent killing is black on black crime
|
They don't want us to be outraged
|
But how we eva gon' change if we don't even try
|
|
(Hook)
|
Why, do they kill us when they feel uncomfortable?
|
This shit is dysfunctional
|
We lost one of my homies about a month ago
|
Why, do we always feel like a target?
|
I know it's because of my skin, what would ya call it?
|
I need answers man
|
Please tell me something
|
How out of the blue, the one in the black
|
Get shot down fo nothing
|
I just don't know, it feel like some nonsense
|
Feel like some bullshit
|
Please tell me something
|
I need answers man
|
All of the sudden, boys in the blue shoot boys who are black
|
Shoot them fo nothing
|
Where they do that at?
|
I just don't know it feel like some nonsense
|
Feel like some bullshit
|
Please tell me something
|
I need answers man
|
|
(Verse 2: Dizzy Wright)
|
It's no science to it, they treat us bad cuz they see how we living
|
Tell us take what was given
|
The government been against us since the very beginning
|
What if we took our guns off us and put em on y'all
|
And then asked god fo forgiveness
|
Trying to get thru to the public, marching and screaming fo justice
|
Only get us pushed to religion
|
Hands up, don't shoot!
|
We beg to be humans, we must got a snake involved
|
If martial law can happen any minute
|
Then what's an unpaid suspension if ya break the law?
|
Killin' us isn't the answer
|
Establish facts befo the propaganda
|
Look, these regular people with regular lives
|
Badges should come with a body camera
|
Why erry chance they get
|
|

|
I need answers man
|
I need answers man
|
I need answers man
|
We need, answers
|
|
(Verse 3: Dizzy Wright)
|
What now, fight back, bust back till they scared of that
|
Cuz Willie Lynch wrote a letter on controllin black people
|
And we still ain't repent from that
|
Might as well pull out the rope
|
I'm not pointin no fingers, I'm blamin us both
|
It's obvious we can stand fo the right things
|
But media plays a problem with the things they promote
|
Fightin in a lose lose battle, tryin' to raise peace
|
But it don't come natural
|
Walkin in the streets, holdin up signs
|
And they throwin tear gas at us like the shit don't matter
|
It was a peaceful protest befo looters
|
We the violent ones, but they the shooters
|
Can't be teachin these kids ya gon' be mistreated by the police fo bein a human
|
I mean what kind of future is that?
|
What it take to get back? I'm a man, I know betta
|
Maybe me and my folks should vote betta
|
Or maybe I should get out this country
|
Cuz they aren't gon' eva respect us
|
Until we start fuckin up all of their money
|
But until then, pump yo fists if ya still in
|
Cuz we will win, time to get at it
|
