Forget the old Jim Crow
We got a new one
Put down the white sheet
And picked a blue one
A blue uniform
A badge and a gun
And they don't even care
If that's somebodies son
He was just on the wrong side
At the wrong time
Fit the description
Of the wrong crime
He was chillin with his patnas
Tryna unwind
Never thought in his life
He'd be gunned down
How we dyin 'fore we make it
To the courthouse
How we dyin 'fore we make it
To the porch now
Mommas cryin
And she all up in the floor now
How we dyin 'fore we make it
To the courthouse
How we dyin 'fore we make it
To the porch now
Mommas cryin
And she all up in the floor now
They say
Everybody presumed innocent
Unless you got darkskin
Then you guilty til you innocent
Guilty til you innocent
Everybody presumed innocent
Unless you got darkskin
Then you guilty til you innocent
Guilty til you innocent
Nobody wanna talk about it
But it's systemic racism
Wanna lock us all in cages
But a 6x8 ain't livin
It's like survival of fittest
Call of Duty in this warzone
Got my scope set on the target
And I'm headed
For home
I know this ain't it
My homies charges like a mile long
They saying hashtag freedom
Til the day that they is all home
And brodie had guns pulled on him
Man no time to even talk long
Hands up before they shoot
And don't you ever think to walk on
White chalk on that pavement
That pavement on that walk home
And thank my lucky stars
That my parents ain't have me raised wrong
Cause it's a casket or a cell
Brodie callin from that jail phone
I'm prayin for my patnas
Even though they feel this hell long
They say
Everybody presumed innocent
Unless you got darkskin
Then you guilty til you innocent
Guilty til you innocent
Everybody presumed innocent
Unless you got darkskin
Then you guilty til you innocent
Guilty til you innocent
