Lyrics
Black lives matter, black lives matter No justice, no peace, no justice, no peace Yeah, my master said if I speed up pickin' cotton He would let me in, no problem, for a couple sips of water So My master said if I speed up pickin’ cotton He would let me in, no problem, for a couple sips of water Took the water that he handed to me, gave it to my daughter Field n***a My master told me to relax a couple hours To regenerate some power, we been in these fields plowin' Sun beamin' down, had to thank him ’Cause he always lookin' out, field n***a My master told me he was 'bout to sell my brother And our youngest baby cousin, this owner was payin' double Had to thank him for the heads-up Other than that, I ain't said much, field n***a sh*t, this mornin' my master gave me some wickers, Friday, I was trippin' Saw I had a woman, ayy write a couple of inches This type of consideration is a privilege, field n***a sh*t, last night I'm singin’ "Wade in the Water," just thinkin’ about my night Heard a knock on the window, saw a shadow in sight Went out to see who it was, the vision just gave me life Harriet talked to me, said it would all be alright "Be back in a couple days, gather up all the slaves" Left in a couple of seconds so no attention was raised But why leave the place that I was raised? Field n***a, that's all I know The next day, had a talk with my baby cousin Sat him down with my brother, told ’em everything she said He look at me like I'm buggin', but at this point this sh*t is all or nothin', field n***a sh*t, my wife just told me she think she pregnant Pause for a second, tears in my eyes as I started to cry Realizin’ that the baby wasn't mine, field n***a Couple nights later, broke into my master house Grabbed me a loaded rifle, don't know how to really shoot it But f**k it, n***a, I'm tryin' And got him while he sleep, left a couple bullets inside him His wife sittin' there, cryin', prayin' over a Bible Give a f**k about your Bible, give a f**k about your title My wife showin', this should be a moment of excitement And he owed that to me, then he stole that from me Brrat, brrat, a couple shots, you could hold that for me Sprintin' into the fields, saw Harriet waitin' there Gathered the other slaves, they heard the shots in the air Prayin' heavy while we runnin' now Headed to this road, heard they nicknamed it "Underground" Been a couple days, we been starvin', food runnin' out My cousin ain't make it Only got one foot and they caught him at the plantation Brother took it hard and I'm wishin' that we could save him, so (Yeah) It's okay, I'm right here with you sh*t painful So, yeah Cops patrollin' cities they don't live in Badge make a brutal murderer feel fear Hate us for our presence 'cause we live here Made us travel over, now you mad 'cause we still here I don't wanna argue about who's better Truthfully, that argument's what led us To a place of bitter feelings, I look down at my skin That's the reason you killin' n***as, this sh*t don't mean nothin' I can't kick it with the homies out, 'cause cops starin' Can't walk the wrong neighborhoods, hi Karen You focus on the riots, you gon' focus on the lootin' You gon' focus on the violence, everything besides the shootin' You can't hear us cryin' Let me tear, a cry for help, you see, my feeling's hurt Get mad we started violence, y'all did it first Want you to judge me off nothin' more than my actions We been fragile with no matter I been stamped from my birth as a n***a that might be packin' Or, I might have priors, or, I'm sellin' drugs 'Cause I can't get hired Complain about the smoke when racism lit the fire We been broken, we been tired I been yellin', screaming', quiet 'Cause the black voice don't travel like the white's do sh*t, black voice don't travel like the white's do Wish I could see it from the white's view If it shows that I hate my country When the f**k my country ever love me? If it shows that I hate my country When the f**k my country ever love me? If it shows that I hate my country When the f**k my country ever love me? So, happy Juneteenth
