Essaye - Blackout (feat. Khafre Jay) Lyrics
Official




I D-I-G I-T when the P.D. don't come at me
For simply drivin' down the street cuz my skin color's all they see
We call it D.W.B
Sir may I see some I.D
Here's my license anything else
There's a quota I need to meet
Yeah? What's that supposed to mean
It means today's my lucky day, keep your hands where I can see
You gotta be kidding me
Step outta the car, please
I think I'd rather not, cuz if I twitch and you get jumpy I'm the one who ends up shot
I know my rights and this is not
About to go the way you want
Started recording when you pulled up
Not that you ever gave a f*ck
I'm not high, and I ain't drunk
I have no priors or no drugs
No knives or a gun, and I'll be damned
If ya thinkin' of killin' me just for fun
They always want our rhythm, but rhythm comes with blues
You could take our lives but y'all will never get a clue
This is not The Avatar, no lives come in blue, this Blackout's for the people
Raise a fist for me and you
Blackout, blackout, blackout, black
Blackout, blackout
Oh, yo business burning? Well, my man's dead
Oh yo windows broke? So my nigga's head of the heels of the Fed it's never-ending
Y'all just feel hella scared when a brother's bending corners with my mask on
Studded for the revolution
You think a targets gonna cut it for the retribution
Think the carnage is enough for an exec to loosen the noose
And choose to respect black dudes then
Ok, you morn windows of best buy
I morn the widows of my best guys
Killed by bullets the cops let fly
We gone burn shit down, I do not get try ooh
Yall didn't do shit for black lives
Till a boot on his neck was on Facebook live
Textbook cries for his mama
He had to go to heaven just to stand for his honor
Now you got the drama
We headed to the trunk for the Llama
My people want a check for the trauma
Even from Obama
When oppression for everybody is endless
Then somebody's gone bring the business
Blackout, blackout, blackout, black
Blackout, blackout
Woke up this morning in a rage wanting to take life
A fleeting thought, now I'm over it like head lice
What was that? You're expecting us to play nice
Correct me if I'm wrong but we've tried it that way once or twice
Y'all need to recognize that this is my forever fight
Yeah my skin is light and bloodline is black as night
Through generations all we're told to do was march the right
Way yet they stay testin' us like we some lab mice
Two wrongs don't make a right, two negatives breed positivity
Kneelin' on ya math, but they would rather that I S.A.T
Quietly, class in session but I won't sit silently
Not welcome in your society, surprised when we act violently
So here we are tryna exist, just wanna be a factor
But the police would rather see my peoples brains splatter
So now we takin' to the streets to see the glass shatter
There will be no more peace until they see Black Lives Matter
