lyrics

(F13ldz)

I'm sick and tired
Of lying Karens, whose phone calls always lead to Black
Crying parents of Black boys in the street, man,
We need some answers, Emmit Till was the start,
Then you saw what she tried on my man in Central Park,
And that don't stop at Karen, that go for Bob and Esther,
Just mind your damn business, how about that gesture?
Cuz when you cry wolf, they gone come look,
Cuz they don't see a Black mnan, they just see a crook.

(Rod Wallace)
We went from Wailin the Psalms in suits,
to flailing elbows and palms in boots, I'm calm, dont shoot
Streaming chaos the blessings of the ancestors keep us balanced,
There's always been some silent ops that left some bricks on pallets.
Fresh out the barracks, recruits know not what they'd inherit,
These garish games of power, two party bad marriage
Born inequity, justice is the rarity,
And parity is governed by the Pharisees.

(MENTaL Da God)
Yo, let me add a little clarity, they kill a Black man
So we peaceful protest and still catch assault and battery?
Charges regardless of all their barbarity
Seen in real time you confuse the disparity.
Tear gas and rubber bullets shot in the crowd
While Donald Trump bitch ass steady tweetin out loud for
Popularity's sake, outside is unsafe,
Tell yo brother man stay safe and make it home

(F13ldz)
I'm sick and tired of Black men with cell phones getting shot
But a White man fully equipped with a chop,
Walks in the Capitol building, isn't stopped,
And yells in the face of a cop without a mask cuz
This shit is too hot, I mean really,
Y'all don't see the problem, are y'all that silly?
I guess that's what it is when you fight for what you believe,
But let me drop to a knee and I'm a son of a B. (ain't that some shit)

(Rod Wallace)
I see alot of statements but im dismissin em,
Dont put up pictures or plaques, switch up curriculum.
Dont wish for somethin for blacks if you not spendin some,
Dont hide away when the flack swing back the pendulum.
This wont last, the headlines will turn another way,
Election Day, deception wins you grieve naivete.
But for now, just take a knee and make the ground sway,
My kids is watchin, I'll be damned if I dont make a play.

(MENTaL Da God)
When Kap took a knee alotta White people cried,
When the cop took a knee, another Black man died.
Think about it, Ahmaud Arbery took a jog, but he
Never made it home, don't you think it's kinda odd that they
Never said a word, but when word got out,
How quickly they lied cuz they free and outside, dog
If that was you and I, one of us is getting fried,
The other one is serving life and that's without a doubt.
