Lyrics
You should've been downtown (Word) The people are rising (For real?) We thought it was a lockdown (What? Yeah) They opened the fire (Man) Them bullets was flyin' (Ooh) Who said it was a lockdown? Goddamn lie (Ugh, look) It's a war going on outside, I swear to God I'm on the front line, no front, no cap, no fun-size Sunshine, cinnamon skin People blend in together and ride side by side, organized We bust guns at the same time, harmonize (Ooh-ooh) Form a line, pick a lead, take a leap Lead with love, please, you sound like Dr. King People tired of taking beatings from beasts covered in sheets I love n***as, but we too forgiving for how they treating us Reparations, bit', we tryna get even Just run the paper maybe, then we can start the conversation Common ground, prison compounds full of my f**kin' people How you still sleepin'? Have you had your coffee this evening, Karen? 'Cause you seem a little off All the black girls missin' and endin' up inside the coffins But you mad when they hashtag "BlackLivesMatter" on front your sidewalk Diabolical thoughts, diatribe from dialogues Damaging images of men and women who died off Fighting for civil rights, a simple necessity Given when you given life, but we been trippin'? Right (Skrrt)
