Don't

[Intro: Common] I realize, I am the hopeful black woman who was denied her right to vote I am the caring white supporter killed on the front lines of freedom I am the unarmed black kid who maybe needed a hand, but instead was given a bullet I am the two fallen police officers murdered in the line of duty We look to the future and we want to create a better world Now is the time to change the world [Verse 1: Juicy J] God bless America, home of the brave We ain't picking cotton no more but we're still slaves They talk about peace, but how that's gon' be When police leaving young niggas dead in the street When niggas start shooting back, how they gon' act And they wonder why a nigga stay strapped They wonder why we trap, for real, real niggas don't rat Black man, born with a target on his back Standing with his hands up, screaming "Don't shoot!" Biggest gang in America, the boys in blue Now we gon' ride, now we gon' loot Cause that black man could have been me or you [Hook] Don't shoot! Don't shoot! Don't shoot! Don't shoot! Don't shoot! [Verse 2: Juicy J] Fuck the police, like Cube & Eazy-E A nigga pay taxes and still ain't free We just trying to get rich and ball out Looks like the pigs trying to take us all out We don't get justice, we just get handcuffed They don't want to see a nigga get his bands up Crooked judge just handing out sentences Cause we're guilty until proven innocent Standing with our hands up, screaming "Don't shoot!" Biggest gang in America, the boys in blue Damn right we gon' ride and we gon' loot Cause that dead black man could have been close to you
