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 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 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
