Tekst piosenki
[Verse 1] If Eric Garner looked like me, he would've never been killed Never be a grand jury sorting evidence till A prosecutor swaying minds busy pressing his will Upon the biased minds of racists who remember that deal Back when plantation owners gave fake ownership to white folks And human nature's ugliness got balanced on that tight rope Set up a system for instilling the hate The consequences of a hatred we're still feeling today That little bit of privilege given set us up for preconditioned Notions of humanity that only cold insanity Could ever seek to justify, a sick and deep disgusting lie That keeps us all from seeing what would happen if we undermined This fucking system that we live in, pushing us in subdivisions Keep all directions pointed inward, not at those appointed At those who exploit us How much longer can they avoid it? [Hook] All of us got to love and all of us got to bleed It isn't what's up above, in that mirror what do you see? All of us want to live and all of us want to breath All of us want to grow So where the fuck do we go? I hope your fire burns bright enough I hope those hands can reach high enough [Verse 2] Cops killing children, murderers making millions How dare us feeling that Darren Wilson's a villain? They made a villain of Michael Brown and he died for it Wilson killed an unarmed kid and he wasn't tried for it I gotta ask, what if it happened to you? What if that was your son what do you imagine you'd do? I think the sickest shit about it is White people see a Black mother crying and it doesn't make them think about their kids All people want in life is to be allowed to live America just told Black people that their lives' amount to shit And I'm sick of hearing people trying to justify it Shut your fucking mouth, the cops and prosecutor lying This system was designed for drawing lines Black and white, cops and robbers, rich and poor, you can't see it then you're blind Being silent is complicit, violence is a sickness Put yourself in someone else's fucking shoes just for a minute [Hook]
