Yeah
Yeah
Would I call a cop, if I saw a cop was dying?
Well, it depends, do I wanna die on a copper's dime? (yeah, yeah)
Cause white privilege still alive, just gotta read between the lines
And Zimmerman's still alive, meaning Jim Crow's in the mind (yeah)
Eradicate us, then shoot us, cops fire more shots than Starship Troopers
Got nonlethal methods, won't use them, rather immobilize us 'til were useless
Hate when we strategize, and we vocalize, cause the power of unity is super
Got some wicked ways, but won't lose them, rather paint us all as the shooter
See, the media gon' play this as war on cops (war on cops)
A couple Klansman will try to shoot me out my spot (out my spot)
Paint me as the bad man, and say I must be stopped (must be stopped)
Welcome to the badlands, where protectors are the ops (yeah, yeah)
Would I call a cop, if I saw a cop was dying?
Well, it depends, do I wanna die on a copper's dime? (yeah, yeah)
Cause white privilege still alive, just gotta read between the lines
And Zimmerman's still alive, meaning Jim Crow's in the mind (yeah-yeah)
You say you tryna' shoot motherf*ckers?
I kill motherf*ckers
Oh, you kill motherf*ckers?
I shoot motherf*ckers out here today
And you just tried to hit me with the car?
Don't try to film me dude, alright. You wanna do the bullshit
I'm just saying, though
How about I lock you up, for walking in the street?
Yeah
Think for yourself, they belittle, try to speak out being civil
Try to give back just a little, they tell a black man, shut up and dribble
Bright futures shouldn't end with a vigil, I think we're way passed meeting in the middle
Cause the press love dancing 'round the issue, and the cops still pulling out the pistol
I'm not saying Whites are the enemy, but you dumb if you think that privilege don't come with heredity
Middle American tendencies, you can't see that, I'm not feeling your energy
You condone that, you ain't really no friend to me, I might as well treat you like frenemies
How could you not see what's sitting in front of ya?, some of y'all really think you are the centerpiece
They, wanna silence my mind and then murder the rest of me
Then, drag my name through the mud on the news, just to lessen me
Yeah, systematic control is just part of the recipe
Yeah, but the parts that they hate are the parts that are best of me
Would I call a cop, if I saw a cop was dying?
Well, it depends, do I wanna die on a copper's dime? (yeah, yeah)
