Riot For Me Lyrics
[00:10.43] What if I was on my knees and executed by police
[00:13.25] What if I was being choked and they knew that I couldn't breathe
[00:16.24] What if I was in the cop car and was killed in the back seat
[00:18.70] With hands cuffed a lot behind me, y'all ain't losing any sleep
[00:21.66] Ain't nobody bout to riot for me, and that's a fact
[00:24.47] Ain't no protests with signs for me, cause I ain't black
[00:27.11] Ain't no hashtags online for me, or fighting back
[00:30.28] Ain't nobody bout to riot for me, bet y'all don't riot for me
[00:33.45] Ain't it demonic how the news make a piece of shit look iconic
[00:36.41] How ironic, if the ratings go up, so does the profits
[00:39.53] You can change the station, but the reading from the same script
[00:42.31] White man gunned down by police, ain't nobody play that clip
[00:45.57] No one gave a shit, I won't get no famous case
[00:48.19] I won't get no downtown monument where they paint my face
[00:51.09] I won't get no NFL jersey spot that say my name
[00:53.79] Oh that's right, since I'm white the situation ain't the same
[00:56.42] Black lives matter, Asian lives matter, Spanish lives matter
[00:59.63] Ain't allowed to say Caucasian lives matter
[01:01.88] Why? That don't fit the narrative, that would mean equality
[01:05.05] Truth in the mainstream media, that's mythology
[01:07.24] They been using my people, your people, good people, poor people
[01:10.60] Either we wake up or they gon' keep on using more people
[01:13.89] I tried to warn people, supply them the truth
[01:15.92] If the victim was me, y'all wouldn't riot and loot
[01:18.48] What if I was on my knees and executed by police
[01:20.85] What if I was being choked and they knew that I couldn't breathe
[01:23.52] What if I was in the cop car and was killed in the back seat
[01:26.41] With hands cuffed a lot behind me, y'all ain't losing any sleep
[01:29.32] Ain't nobody bout to riot for me, and that's a fact
[01:32.19] Ain't no protests with signs for me, cause I ain't black
[01:34.97] Ain't no hashtags online for me, or fighting back
[01:38.05] Ain't nobody bout to riot for me, bet y'all don't riot for me
[01:42.44] This is so exhausting, way the news talking
[01:45.01] It's like black folks only ones dead in coffins
[01:48.25] Black on black ain't a tragedy
[01:50.50] Guess news cameras ran out of batteries
[01:53.68] Live by the gun, die by the gun
[01:56.16] When it happens in the hood, y'all ain't saying none
[01:58.98] But soon as that trigger finger white, y'all be tearing shit up on the same night
[02:03.24] Say I ain't right, say I ain't white
[02:06.08] Let's say that I'm black
[02:07.42] Get pulled over, try to run away and scrap
[02:09.65] Reaching for the strap, but he get it first
[02:11.87] So I slug him in the face at the same time that it burst
[02:14.81] Now I'm just another reason to write a name on a shirt
[02:18.05] When the truth is I just got what I deserve
[02:20.16] When you playing dumb games than you win a dumb prize
[02:23.03] Unless it whites killing blacks, they don't give a fuck who dies
[02:25.98] When you gonna realize they just trying to divide us
[02:28.94] Red, white and blue, it's the colors that unite us
[02:31.89] Getting sick and tired of the looting and the riots
[02:34.22] When the truth is if I was dead, then y'all be dead silent
[02:37.14] What if I was on my knees and executed by police
[02:40.08] What if I was being choked and they knew that I couldn't breathe
[02:42.75] What if I was in the cop car and was killed in the back seat
[02:45.53] With hands cuffed a lot behind me, y'all ain't losing any sleep
[02:48.53] Ain't nobody bout to riot for me, and that's a fact
[02:51.28] Ain't no protests with signs for me, cause I ain't black
[02:54.05] Ain't no hashtags online for me, or fighting back
[02:56.95] Ain't nobody bout to riot for me, bet y'all don't riot for me
[03:02.87]
