Lyrics
Rest in peace George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery Philando Castile, Eric Garner, Amadou Diallo, Trayvon Martin and the countless others Rest in peace to the victims And rest in hell to the system, yeah Bogus drug charges, got my brothers in the prisons It’s time to fill em’, with dirty cops and politicians Guess what, you need a history lesson Police in America, the roots were invented The Carolina colonies made the slave catchers That’s centuries ago but we still get affected So when you plant a seed, and it starts real toxic How do you believe, they feeding you good product Wait, now I want you to imagine this Role reversal, but now you’re the Kaepernick Flip the map, so it’s Africa on top Ships full of Europeans, chained and they locked And everybody laugh, call it crackas in a box Til’ they crackin’ off the whip, on yo back, when it’s hot And imagine every country we invaded We turned white skin into something that you hated Instead of Trump, it’s me as the president Black and brown, making America great again Livin’ with no privilege for the fairer skin And honestly Karen, you’re f**king embarrassing So if I’m chillin, you should mind yo f**king business Pressin’ charges while we dead, and somehow you’re the victim Man, this some sh*t I’ll never get How you think you better from the color of your skin Race was a construct made by white men But you gettin’ spray tans, cause you lack melanin Human genetics, we’re virtually the same Divide and conquer is the name of the game Yeah I know, that some pharaohs gon’ pharaoh Some people are just evil, down to the marrow I’m not talking to them, I’m talking to you If we’re changing history, you got a part to do Yeah Everybody has a part to play But it starts with improving ourselves Reflecting and realizing how we’ve been shaped and influenced What we can do to make the world better How we can lift each other up and not let history cycle how it has Cause in the end, love is a powerful force Peace
