My people
The revolution continues
Four hundred years and counting
Guess what
This won't be televised
Let us pray
Heavenly father we come to you once again over troubled waters
Lead us not into temptation
But deliver us
From evil
Another sequel
Dead body laying in the streets yo
Silently laying because he's never treated equal
These folk
Trying to understand all my people
Can't communicate cause my neck up under your knee though
We though
Always tithing to the steeple
Giving my last while my car getting a repo
We sick and tired of being sick and tired
No more RIP's
We trying to stay alive
My third eye is open wide
Staring down a loaded barrel my color's my divide
From my perspective
The system's so deceptive
Go deeper down the rabbit hole
You'll see it's so defective
Troubled waters y'all
You done woke up a sleeping giant, yeah
See
Our frustrations comes from spans of segregation
Lack of education
And controlled information
My pain is deemed to be of insanity
The leader of the free world
Is just a man to me
We demand to be heard
Not running from a muthaf*cka
Acting all scurred
Times up
Yeah you're out of luck
Infra red to your head
Yo you betta duck
It's time out for all the bullshit
We got kids now
And we ain't taking no shit
People passing laws
That are never made for us
Everytime rights are expressed
We gotta fuss
Trust, you better know
It's a new day now
Gotcha on mute
So what you say now
Dealing with yo shit
For too many years
Tired of my words
Falling on deaf ears
See, we stand in power
For the lives they have tried to devour
Pandemics, police brutality
All that's got to stop
See, most of y'all know
Your hood is yours
I implore you to kick down doors
Let 'em know
We here
And make their eyes buck like a deer
And when they ask
What's your name
You say it's all the same
