Jayomega - 8pm in America Lyrics

Been in the crib since the outbreak
A curfew can stop us from being out late but ain't gon' silence the outrage
Everybody is talking, some of 'em just to clout chase
Shucking and jiving, tryna deny that this is about race
Even though hatred and racism are so hard to out date
But I promise, if you run into me, you better about-face
'Cus when I catch you fake f*cks and give you a shape up
That means you gon' get your face cut like it was an outtake
I been the victim of fitting descriptions
Stripped of my rights, I even feared for my life, shit is ridiculous
I been the nigga with the knee in my neck
Screaming "Stop it, I can't breathe", still they see I'm a threat
I get pulled over and I fear for my safety
Officer walking up to the car with his hand on his gun, he's thinking maybe
I might be shady or crazy I'm thinking "Why does he hate me?"
"Why am I still a target regardless of who has raised me?"

I must admit I'm not exceptionally smart
But I ain't dumb, you had your knee on homie's neck 'til he went dark
It's 4 on 1, how you gon' tell me you used necessary force?
Well you done took another life, was that a necessary loss?
I get mandatory life if I kill you, but if you kill me
You still leave, freedom in tact, plus you can still breathe
So it ain't hard to justify the looting and violence
Just take look at what you do with the silence we're sick and tired
Of dying and crying trying to lie and say we're okay
When we can see a man strangled and murdered in broad day
I'm happy they pressed charges, but all I can do is pray
That every racist in the world can discover the same fate
And yes, we're all human, it's a fact, that's true
But see, a lot of y'all got that shit backwards too
So let me make it clear and absolute
I don't want to hear "All Lives Matter" until the Black ones do
And that's real
