Reuben X - Song Of Outrage Lyrics



Reuben X - Song Of Outrage Lyrics
Official




It all started with the fatal shooting by police of an unarmed black teenager
The shooting of 18-year-old Michael Brown
Has opened a wound in the community
A 12-year-old boy is dead after a police shooting in Cleveland Saturday
There was no verbal or no confrontation
The officers ordered him to stop and to show his hands
And he went into his waistband and pulled out the weapon
The gun was fake
We live in a society where cops kill black males for notoriety
Then they call us animals when we start the rioting
Media feedin' ya bullshit so you better start dieting
We lootin' cause they shooting
We lootin' cause they shooting
We lootin' cause they shooting
And authority abusing
We lootin' cause they shooting
We lootin' cause they shooting
We lootin' cause they shooting
Hope is what we losing
No rest, we came to protest
Cops killin' kids, it's grotesque
Can't leave the house with no vest
One false move, bullets in yo' chest
No rest, we came to protest
Cops killin' kids, it's grotesque
Can't leave the house with no vest
One false move, bullets in yo' chest
We was waitin' on the verdict
We flipped when we heard it
Prosecutor tryna find the perfect way to word it uhhh
Now he's sounding like Kermit
None of his business, they killin' our siblings
Young black male
They prefer see him dead or in jail
With no chance of bail uhhh
The streets is a beach filled with bullet shells
They testin' our patience, they wanna see us fail
If you ain't down for the cause
Then you must be a fraud
Equality in America's a mirage
Police breakin' the laws
Put the beat on pause
Why we tryna fix other countries
Ours is filled with flaws
Black on black crime
Happens all the damn time
I don't wanna hear you whine
That's they favorite line
Ridin' down the block like a Muslim
Say f*ck the swine
As-salamu alaykum
Please pray for my peace of mind, chyeahhh
Everybody standing here tell you I didn't do nothing
I did not sell nothin
Because every time you see me, you wanna harass me
You wanna stop me, talkin' bout I'm selling cigarettes
I'm mindin' my business, officer
I'm mindin' my business
Please just leave me alone
I told you the last time, please just leave me alone
Put your hand behind your back
I can't breathe
I can't breathe
I can't breathe
I can't breathe
I can't breathe
I can't breathe
I can't breathe
We can't breathe
We can't breathe
Rather die on our feet than to live on our knees
We can't breathe
We can't breathe
Rather die on our feet than to live on our knees
We can't breathe
We can't breathe
Rather die on our feet than to live on our knees
We live in a society where cops kill black males for notoriety
Then they call us animals when we start the rioting
Media feedin' ya bullshit so you better start dieting
We lootin' cause they shooting
We lootin' cause they shooting
We lootin' cause they shooting
And authority abusing
We lootin' cause they shooting
We lootin' cause they shooting
We lootin' cause they shooting
Hope is what we losing
No rest, we came to protest
Cops killin' kids, it's grotesque
Can't leave the house with no vest
One false move, bullets in yo' chest
No rest, we came to protest
Cops killin' kids, it's grotesque
Can't leave the house with no vest
One false move, bullets in yo' chest
