Rent still due And the phone bill too
Kids say they hungry honestly I am too
Fighting for the day that the world will get a clue
Cuz I wanna make it home not trying to pull through
Justice Still due and equality too
My people still dying honestly I am too
Fighting for the day for the world will get a clue
Cuz I shouldn't have to say hands up don't shoot
Are we dyin' for rights or are we dying for justice
We been fight for years front seats on buses
Marches boycotts fueled by injustice
Am I a threat or a father with a dream
Just to be seen as thug or another black man
I'm trying to understand why the world so cruel
Why the news is so blue and what am I supposed to do
When my child says daddy I just want to protect you
Rent still due And the phone bill too
Kids say they hungry honestly I am too
Fighting for the day that the world will get a clue
Cuz I wanna make it home not trying to pull through
Justice Still due and equality too
My people still dying honestly I am too
Fighting for the day for the world will get a clue
Cuz I shouldn't have to say hands up don't shoot
How is the country united when chief says shoot first and government don't work
Praying That i don't get hurt by another mans hurt
And he doesn't shoot first cuz he doesn't think about another black mans worth
Hoody or a t-shirt shouldn't be the reason I don't make it home All alone skin and bone
But it seems like black is always the wrong tone
Since the plantation home
I got to make a difference without making a life a sentence
Rent still due And the phone bill too
Kids say they hungry honestly I am too
Fighting for the day that the world will get a clue
Cuz I wanna make it home not trying to pull through
Justice Still due and equality too
My people still dying honestly I am too
Fighting for the day for the world will get a clue
Cuz I shouldn't have to say hands up don't shoot
Don't shoot
You black so I better not move
And I better not think
And you better not Speak
I'ma pop this boi
Patna hold my drink
Lemme turn off my cam
I don't give a damn
I'm one with da Klan
& I'm holdin' hands
With Uncle Sam Yay
I feel like a man Yay
Why is life like this
Why we fight like this Yay Yay
Can't live life like this
Can't live life like this
Why is life like this
Why we fight like this Yay Yay
Can't live life like this
Can't live life like this
What about your kids yay
Justice Still due and equality too
My people still dying honestly I am too
Fighting for the day for the world will get a clue
'Cuz I shouldn't have to say hands up don't shoot
