Ra-ta-tat-tat
Shot in my back
Ain't see it coming
Black-kow
In every city
It just don't stop
We need a solution now
Got different mothers
But still you're my brothers
We bleed and look the same
Pull off the covers
Of hate towards each other
We gotta start using our brains
Bigger than these piano keys
Beyond ebony and ivory
Nonsensical killing
What does it mean?
We bleeding out red
And it's over green
Wow so much wrong
Has been done to our people
We can't take it out on us
That ain't a reason
Black on black crime
Every f*cking season
Want it to stop
I'm begging and pleading
From NYC
BedStuy and Brownsville
Hittas like me
Shooting to kill
Southside in Chi-town
Camden in Jersey
Philly to B-more
Damn man we hurting
From Motown down
To ATL
We filling up graves
Locked up in them cells
Middle America
To the west coast
They love us the least
We need it the most
Ra-ta-tat-tat
Shot in my back
Ain't see it coming
Black-kow
In every city
It just don't stop
We need a solution now
Got different mothers
But still your my brothers
We bleed and look the same
Pull off the covers
Of hate towards each other
We gotta start using our brains
Ain't been treated right
Because we ain't white
But that's no excuse
For this self abuse
Need to be solution driven
The problem is violence and killing
We breaking
We should be building
Our brothas up
Past the ceiling
Let's lead with love
Not hate
Scuffed up my kicks
It was a mistake
No disrespect
I'm admiring you
You got a style
A swag
It's cool
Had a rough day
Let's chop it up
Think what we need
Is brotherly love
Direction and guidance
Leadership
Patience and peace
Organization
To take back the streets
Role models
Not gun models
We can pop bottles
That's cool
Our young generation
Needs education
So the world don't treat them
Like fools
We from royalty
We kings and queens
Built this country up
With our backs
What we need the most
From coast to coast
Is to stop this rat-ta-tat-tat
Ra-ta-tat-tat
Shot in my back
Ain't see it coming
Black-kow
In every city
It just don't stop
We need a solution now
Got different mothers
But still you're my brothers
We bleed and look the same
Pull off the covers
Of hate towards each other
We gotta start using our brains
