IndigoYaj - Behind the Mask Lyrics
Official




Steady asking why they hiding behind them masks
I know they wasn't raised like that
You won't like this
It's time expose the game
And you picked the right clique
It's time to make a change yeah yeah
Steady asking why they hiding behind them masks
I know they wasn't raised like that
You won't like this
It's time expose the game
And you picked the right clique
It's time to make a change yeah yeah
Been a couple days and I just wanna know
Do you realize what's going on in protest for our people
Revolution is coming it's pretty simple
Our blood is on the streets and it's messing with my mental
I can't breathe
I can't sleep
It's like every time I blink
Someone new's on their knees
Got a knee in the neck
Got rubber bullets on deck
Tear gas to keep us in check
I wonder whose hashtag is next
Welcome to Amerikkk
Land of the free and the home of the brave
Got major cities tryna scream the names
Of the innocent blood racists use as paint
Country was built by bullies
They loot, steal, kill when they took it all from me
When they took my ancestors right up of they country
And then called us third of a human thinking it's funny
Say the names cause the list don't ever end
Just like somebody said it's the sixties again
And the sad thing is we'll know the history
It gets sugar coated
Becomes a mystery
Them textbooks don't even really teach a thing
Learned more from social media and looking at a screen
And on top of that, we fighting COVID-19
But they been kinda quiet, so what y'all really hiding
Government want us dead they cover the killings
Gotta protect my head if this is living
People showing colors and I'm livid
Cause y'all really kids or just ignant
All these big names ain't really said a word
Doing bare minimum hiding behind the hearse
Wanna be black until it's time to get to work
And since nobody said it, imma gone and say it first
Those who stay silent, pick a side and lay there
Call it what you want but in this life nah we don't play fair
Tryna protest with peace it got us nowhere
My people angry and I know that you do not care
This happens daily but this a hurt y'all cannot repair
So what you saying
Black people are fed up here
Welcome to Amerikkk
Land of the free and the home of the brave
Steady asking why they hiding behind them masks
I know they wasn't raised like that
You won't like this
It's time expose the game
And you picked the right clique
It's time to make a change yeah yeah
Steady asking why they hiding behind them masks
I know they wasn't raised like that
You won't like this
It's time expose the game
And you picked the right clique
It's time to make a change yeah yeah
