I done been up in the cuffs, had my face all in the ground
And people looked us in the face, said we the biggest gang now
I wish that shit was a lie, I wish I ain't have to cry
I— Fuck wishin', this generation's ready to die
'Cause the system been broke, my people been broke too
Trump want us to vote when the popular vote was not you
Look me in the face and say I'm lyin', say that's not true
I ain't here to speak no prophecy, just stop calling this democracy
The people chose, y'all said no and did y'all thang
Now police exposed, bigger guns and they don't even bang
I'm in a different mode, like Black on Black could never change
'Cause same way they did Malcolm X, they did Martin Luther King
Stop asking for peace, it ain't coming, they keep bringing rain
So we back in the street, they keep killing, they don't feel our pain
What's after the beef? I can't call it, I don't know the future
I had to come speak 'cause pain at this level, I'm too used to
I just wanna live, shouldn't need permission for that
Shouldn't need a stick 'cause I'm
Black, Pryce got his kids in the back
Police don't care about none of it if you Black and they mad
So now it's fuck the world like Pac, if they get hit, that's they bad
Now I ain't promotin' violence, but I ain't promotin' silence
They spent two weeks in Black shoes, now everybody's a tyrant
This shit was here before me, I don't think it'll stop
So don't try to say I incited this 'til y'all arrest them cops because

Everybody wanna be a nigga 'til it's time to be a nigga

Everybody wanna be a nigga 'til it's
Time to be one, the pain left me numb
But we scream out defund 'cause a blind
Man can see the cops don't need guns
Leave out the house lookin' like Ahmaud
Arbery, they just wanna see me run
I leave out the house lookin' like Robert
Fuller, damn, they just wanna see me hung
I seen it before like a rerun, pay taxes for 'em, we need a refund
It's gon' always be separation until my people get reparations
Big lump sums, a couple reservations
Pryce came to rewrite the declarations
I been had my fist in the air for years
To be clear, this ain't no declaration
Economically cheated, we could never be even
When I leave out the house, I'm competin'
With people just like me, a racist policeman
They stopped George from breathin', they keepin'
Us under their knees, see the levels I'm teachin'
Give a spot in the Trumps like tellin'
The people to vote for a devil, a demon
Gotta build our own parties, we can't wait for it, sorry
Gotta switch out our minds from thinkin'
Like Martin Luther to more like Marcus Garvey
And remember the time when they burned down
Black Wall Street, so we gotta build our army
It's all good when they wearin' our clothes
Yeezys on deck, they rippin' our flows
But when we at war, they ready to go 'cause
