Lyrics

This man kneeled on a man’s neck for eight minutes! ...and 46 seconds. Can you imagine that? This kid thought he was going to die. He knew he was going to die. He called for his mother. He called for his dead mother. I’ve only seen that once before in my life. My father, on his deathbed, called for his grandmother. When I watched that tape, I understood that man knew he was gonna die

Jesus is king and Parker's a God
I got a team that move like a mob
Dominant stance, that's me and the squad
Dominant state, the new hegemon
Trapped outta vans, now we the vanguard
Our check, at a glance, more zeroes than yours
Your heroes wear capes, my heroes got scars
We're just not the same, it's bigger than bars

Too many murdered and innocent
But we knew what was up after Zimmerman
Piggies'll run in ya tenement
See a black body, put 10 in it
We waging war on corruption
'Cause Breonna Taylor need justice
Revolution on the cusp, it's..
Time for cops to get defunded
Pick a side, pick a side
Ain't no gray, it's black and white
Too many graves with black inside
We can protest or riot (ay)
By any means, I stand by it (ay)
Wish a white man would try it (ay)
I'll go white Bronco driver (ay!)
That's cold OJ for you simp sons
No more views with rose colored tints on
They say "f**k 12" is a suicide
Well, so's being a n***a with too much pride
So's being a n***a if I go outside
They call me uppity
Asking what's up with me
I say I'm fed up
They say I should let up
I say that I said the same thing
When that b*t*h was all on George's neck
And I do not digress
Ugh, this sh*t is hard to digest
Ugh, knots in my stomach and chest
Until I see change I won't rest
'Cause my nieces and nephews got next
And I'll go Django on MAG' hats
If any of mine end up hashtags
Run up on you like bombs over Baghdad, bet that
Cross Park, and meet God

He says, "Where are all these celebrities? Why aren’t you talking?" This n***a said "everybody." I was screaming at the TV, "I dare you to say me, n***a. I dare you." So now all of a sudden, this n***a expects me to step in front of the streets, and talk over the work these people are doing? As a celebrity? Answer me: Do you wanna see a celebrity right now? Do we give a f**k what Ja Rule thinks? Does it matter about celebrity? No. This is the streets talking for themselves. They don’t need me right now! I kept my mouth shut, and I'll still keep my mouth shut. But don't think that my silence is complicit, or all this sh*t these n***as are saying. Trying to get everyone to sing these f**king songs... I know all these songs. I was raised on these songs
