How come it's always the darkest round here?
How come ain't nowhere to park around here?
How come everybody lost around here?
Everybody think it's cool to not care
It's truly unfair

I can't take it anymore, that's straight up
That's straight up, baby that's straight up
That's straight up, that's straight up
That's straight up
How come all my people die?
Just for that red, blue, and white?
Wonder what that freedom's like

How come red and blue is all I see?
How come all my people can't agree?
Always in a struggle, I can't breathe
So how can we really be free?

I can't take it anymore, that's straight up
That's straight up, baby that's straight up
That's straight up, that's straight up
That's straight up
How come all my people die?
Just for that red, blue, and white?
Wonder what that freedom's like
History repeats itself
Can't release the pain you've kept
Lord, we really need your help
'Cause they tryna decrease what's left
So all my people say, say
All my people say
That's straight up

How come red and blue is all I see?
How come they don't want us to succeed?
How come they don't see the red we bleed?
Where is the unity?
That's straight up
