Over 400 years
How many more?
Of my people gotta die up in this war
Then been lynching
And killing us like a sport
In the midst of revolution
What your allies hoping for?
In the midst of revolution
Do your allies open doors?
A closed mouth don't get fed
That's exactly what they taught us
We out here fighting
For our sons & our daughters
It's either hell or high waters
Nothing can hold us
No justice No peace
Defund white supremacy
Defund the police
Martin Luther had a dream
And they killed my nigga too
Cause they knew he was a king
Screaming let our freedom ring
And we shall overcome
While he held the bible
Staring down the Barrel of the gun
One shot the man's gone
No hope to move on
So we burning cities down
And take whatever we want
Look
We ain't ask to be black
But we proud as a bitch
With our fair and nappy hair
Melanin skin rich
Thick ass and full lips
Fried chicken and hot grits
Watermelon and hot chips
You f*cking culture vultures
Imitating our music and style
But don't support us
Wanna rape our young sons and
Our beautiful daughters
Then turn around and call us niggas
Like y'all ain't just want us
Over 400 years
How many more
Of my people gotta die up in this war
Then been lynching
And killing us like a sport
In the midst of revolution
What your allies hoping for?
In the midst of revolution
Do your allies open doors?
A closed mouth don't get fed
That's exactly what they taught us
We out here fighting
For our sons & our daughters
It's either hell or high waters
Nothing can hold us
We birth leaders and they kill em
So ain't no hope for the people
If it ain't a voice to lead them
Bleed em
On the street
CNN news feed
Record repost to social media
And then repeat it
Wake up and go to sleep
We dream the enemy
Finding peace in the streets
Is all we wanna see
But
Not until the revolution has diseased
Cause they got us face down
On our necks til we can't breathe and
Tear gas in our face
So we cant see them
Sneak attack
Undercovers march
Like we don't peep them
My people screaming
F*ck the police dem
Cause everyday they F*cking us up
Then say we need them
Defund the whole system
And give us back our freedom
Oh wait we never had that
Cause we was only heathens
That's why we call upon Jesus
The only name that we can drop
To try to save us from the demons
400 years
How many more
Of my people gotta die up in this war
Then been lynching
And killing us like a sport
In the midst of revolution
