Uh, yeah, yeah
Uh, my people dying tryna dodge Corona
All of a sudden, we got something called the ''New Normal''
Y'all sure y'all don't mean the New World Order?
Not to mention Trump really has nothin' to offer
Something fishy in the air, we need better Febreeze
Although it seems they want us locked away or on a leash
It ain't black versus white or versus police
It's against the Constitution, we fighting for peace
So please stop believing we all cause trouble
I know some work in silence and others mumble
We're rowdy 'cause we feel as though we need to rumble
We move in bubbles or huddles 'cause we're stuck in the jungle
We hustle 'cause we feel like that's our way outta the hood
Why do we bring good, and still misunderstood?
Let me overstand, y'all just want us under, man
Stimulus checks help, but soon there will be new demands, yeah
It ain't hard to tell
And with how the system works, it ain't hard to fail
That's the plan though, we're expected to heel
We always take L's, how we're expected to heal?
We have a painful past, how y'all expect us to feel?
The government cheating on us, so we rob and we steal
I'm just bein' blunt, but this is to my people
Everyday's a movie, yeah, we live at the Regal
We want them to feel our pain, like sharing needles
Just remember your blood, your family need you
And we see 12 using force to make us take heed
Only time I'll bow down is to take a knee
But it ain't gon' be for them, it's for all my people falling
Every time y'all get to brawling and making us bleed
Who can we talk to nowadays to hear our pain?
It's like we in a tournament and we're losing the game
We have everything to lose, not enough to gain
But when our back's against the wall, we strengthen the flame
Listen, all the rioting, all the violence
Racism isn't getting worse, it's bein' filmed
The non-blacks that love us blacks are all silencing
Y'all love our ways, so speak up if we're getting killed, yeah
In times of despair, we searching for hope
With our demeanor, people swear we searching for smoke
Still gotta be tough, so we're learning to cope
Some spread love, others returning to dope
One thing's for sure, two thing's for certain
We don't need pity, we carry our own burdens
I wanna open curtains in this state of emergence
Break up ice cold BS, build each other with urgence
Need light at tunnel's end, gotta be that light
I'm talking shining in a blackout, be that bright
Tryna turn wrongs to rights, we deserve real rights
These are all sober thoughts, I'm just high off life
I know pain well, so I speak it fluently
If it's one thing we all need, it's unity
So we gotta learn to move as one in all communities
Put the differences aside for this opportunity
Trill
(I know pain well, I speak it fluently
If it's one, uh)
Black lives matter
Aight, we outta here
Yeah
