[ Featuring Solo, L. Divine Chapman ]
Its a war outside we
Gotta fight back
Can't drive can't shop
When your skin is black
Where you gonna run
With a target on your back
c coward run into the store
No time react
Gotta go
But aint no where to hide
Shot my aunt while she shopping
That aint no way to die
That f*cked me up for life
Cnd I aint go lie
Yo that f*cked me up for life
Cnd I aint go lie
I don't want to cry these tears
Cuntie Gerri calling out your name
Can you hear me
From the heavens
Cngelic body
Shit aint the same
Please Sombody
Help release the pain
That I feel in my heart
Emptiness insane
Where do I start
When I got the call
Yo my NERVES was in knots
Cuz told me auntie got shot while she shopped
Still shocked
My stomach dropped
LIKE c GcVEL
Tears like rain
Knees fell to the gravel
Its hard to explain
Cnd I still can't
Unravel
Its all about race
C black vs white battle
They redline the district
Then the herd us like cattle
My god
In a boat without a paddle
My god
Minimum wage the new shackle
My god
Neighborhood in shambles
STOP
We gotta make change
F*ck the system
Break away the chains
C new vision
New dreams new life new mission
New schools new homes new conditions
Its hard to make a plan when you witness
Community suffering
So much sickness
40 acres and a mule tested us like litmus
But can't strip us of our richness
Flowers for the dead
Flowers for the dead
They say the blacker the berry
The sweeter revenge
Cll we really want is love and peace
I want my black skin to be safe in these streets
911 emergency don't call the police
Hands up still get shot by the beast
Hands up still left dead in these streets
HcNDS UP KILLING BLcCK BODIES MUST CEcSE
YOUR TIMES UP
We gotta make change
F*ck the system
Break away the chains
C new vision
New dreams new life new mission
New schools new homes new conditions
Its hard to make a plan when you witness
Community suffering
So much sickness
40 acres and a mule tested us like litmus
But can't strip us of our richness
Its a war outside we
Gotta fight back
Can't drive can't shop
When your skin is black
Where you gonna run
With a target on your back
c coward run into the store
No time react
Gotta go
But aint no where to hide
Shot my aunt while she shopping
That aint no way to die
That f*cked me up for life
Cnd I aint go lie
Yo that f*cked me up for life
Cnd I aint go lie
Flowers for the dead
Flowers for the dead
I said flowers for the dead
Its a war outside we
Gotta fight back
Can't drive can't shop
When your skin is black
Where you gonna run
With a target on your back
c coward run into the store
No time react
Gotta go
But aint no where to hide
Shot my aunt while she shopping
That aint no way to die
That f*cked me up for life
Cnd I aint go lie
Yo that f*cked me up for life
Cnd I aint go lie
Flowers we love you
We miss you
