JDG - Tired Lyrics

I'm so tired
I'm tired of this it's time for this to end
No more dead bodies
No more injustice
I'm so tired
No more murder
Yeah
let em know
I'm so tired of working long nights
And hard summer days
So tired
Of seeing tombstones with kids in the graves
Got us locked up in prison treating us
Like a slave
I rather die than be in bondage
This my hope of the brave
Look in my eyes the pain that you see
Is from generations
Right to vote
Promised land they told us to stay patient
Give me the chance I'll break every shackle
From our enslavement
Lock up oppression
And bomb it inside of a basement
Trayvon with the hoodie
Bag of skittles and an Arizona
Gone too soon
He ain't have the chance
To get his diploma
Mike Brown didn't stay down
His hands held high
And look a black man
Bleeding out justice
Is why I still rise
Live separate y'all claim equal
Jim crow with the same sequel
No genocide ain't gon let it slide
Put the fear of God in a lightning rod
I'm Dr. King with a freedom ring
I'm Malcolm X with integrity
It's no testing me
I got a vet degree
It's no rest for me look
If you Klu Klux Ima grip the K
Turning white sheets to a bloody grey
Holocaust you could never pay
I'm a different beast when I'm
Out the cage
You scream all but we don't matter
All jokes till the blood splatter
Cold world but I gotta manage
I'm a paintbrush with a different canvas
How you say I'm free
When I'm getting arrested
How we the United States
But are issues are separate
I raise my fist high
And Ima scream freedom
And rest in peace to anyone
Who died for believing

I'm so tired of being a suspect
Ha
I'm so tired of seeing the bloodshed
How many more gon have to die
Before we see a change
Roots
Harriet Tubman
And Selma
And Twelve years a slave
Freedom ring
No violence
One voice
No silence
Stand together
Hand in hand
Mike Brown
Sandra Bland
Stop shooting
Spread love
Hoodie on
I'm not a thug
Better days
No fire
Dead bodies
So tired
