Yeah man
Sittin’ here tryna figure out
Why law enforcement
Keep on decidin’ they wanna kill black people, man
It’s startin’ to get to me
Check this out
[Verse 1]
Police killing black people never ended, they still do
The second they pulled you over, they intended to kill you
Marked for the flamin’, even with no talk or complainin’
Provocation and escalation is a part of the trainin’
They start with the game and even when you offer your name and identification they aim and sparks get to raining
Or stomped to the pavement, to them it’s just all entertainment
No probable cause, forced in armed bars and restrainin’
We look at the cycle but will the crooked be liable?
It’s posted on every social site, the footage is viral
Comments from every race and political rivals
Provide views based on what side they subscribe to
The racists showin' up on every post with imaginary quotes
And those of hypothetical scenarios
They be like, ‘Maybe he did this or did that’
But wait, I got a maybe for your maybe he was black
[Hook]
You got your hands in the air, they like, “Stop resisting”
Hogtied on your stomach, they like, “Stop resisting”
Been shot twenty times, they like, “Stop resisting”
Tryna tell ‘em but the evil ass cops ain’t listening
Got your hands in the air, they like, “Stop resisting”
Hogtied on your stomach, they like, “Stop resisting”
Been shot twenty times, they like, “Stop resisting”
Tryna tell ‘em but the evil ass cops ain’t listening
[Verse 2]
They be like
Keep your hands where I can see ‘em, show me your ID
Why you movin’ around? You tryna pull a weapon on me?
See you just lookin’ for a reason you can blow me to pieces
How I’m supposed to get my license out? Telekinesis?
Cops treat blacks differently, won’t none of ‘em say
How the hell you feelin’ threatened when I’m runnin’ away?
Then you cap ‘em and stun, listen, you the adamant one
He’ll cuff you then accuse you of grabbin’ his gun
It’s a part of procedure made up in order to bleed ya
Don’t believe the garbage the police department’ll feed ya
Investigations that leave us despising the system
And the media instantly criminalizes the victim
‘He jaywalked in ’03, he had weed in his house
One night he got drunk and accidentally peed on his couch’
They look for anything they can find to cover the fact
That he got murdered by a racist swine who don’t like blacks
[Hook]
You got your hands in the air, they like, “Stop resisting”
Hogtied on your stomach, they like, “Stop resisting”
Been shot twenty times, they like, “Stop resisting”
Tryna tell ‘em but the evil ass cops ain’t listening
Got your hands in the air, they like, “Stop resisting”
Hogtied on your stomach, they like, “Stop resisting”
Been shot twenty times, they like, “Stop resisting”
Tryna tell ‘em but the evil ass cops ain’t listening
[Verse 3]
You try to say 'I know my rights,' they’ll laugh at you
Police chief said he did what he had to do
Gotta watch the coon police who passin’ through
‘cause black cops whoopin’ black people asses too
Innocent people everyday get sadly arrested
You approached the car already mad and aggressive
You ain’t enforcin’ the law, only intimidation
Tryna turn the hood back into the slave plantation
White ladies call the cops on us every evening
‘Uh, yes, there’s a black guy at a bus stop breathing'
Can’t barbecue, can’t take a nap ‘round them
Can’t sell water, can’t cut the grass or swim
You see ‘em on television and they’re backin’ the statements
I ain’t crackin’ jokes, all of these are actual cases
Media know it’s a lie but they still gon’ play it
You could already be dead and they still gon’ say it
