Don't wanna go back in chains
Still fightin' for my, my name
The blood on the t-shirt stains
Nothin' but a heartless game to take one's mind
They don't mind cuz when they see a nigga, put a finger on the trigger
Mama told me, told me to watch what I say
You better refrain from all that eye rolling, sucking your teeth
Because they're coming for that, they're coming for that quota mama told me
You'll never be his equal, they all want us to live in fear
Loose me of those shackles, your nation's created by my tears
I can't cry, I can't cry no more
You shoot them, you shoot me what for?
Brothers and sisters taken from their mothers
Like Trayvon and Garner who wanted no drama
You wonder why all the picket signs
My fingers high and this fist of mine
Blood on the t-shirt stains
Nothin' but a heartless game to steal your soul
Before ya know it, you'll be back on the chain gang, bullets go bang
Mama told me, told me to watch what I say
You better refrain from all that eye rolling, sucking your teeth
Because they're coming for that, they're coming for that quota mama told me
The revolution will not be televised
I'm 21, yeah I'm just lucky to be alive
But how can I live when it's painted on my back
The target I was given coming out the womb Black
Imma fight till the end give it all that I got
A never ending battle with these bigoted cops
Niggas dying everyday going to jail everyday
A black man's life in the USA
My mama told me better watch what I say
She said that I must refrain from all that running on my mouth boy
Running from my mouth girl, whatchu do that for
Freedom- are we really are we really free
They're gonna get you better run for it, run for it
They're gonna get you better run for it, run for it
They're gonna get you better run for it, running for it
My mama told me
