Lyrics
What are you trying to accomplish? What would you like this to be the endgame for you
A little space please
I mean, ultimately it's to bring awareness and make people realize what's really going on in this country
There are a lot of things that are going on that are unjust, people aren't being held accountable for
And that's something that needs to change
That's something that, you know, this country stands for freedom, liberty, justice for all
And it's not happening for all right now
There's a lot of things that need to change
One specifically is police brutality
There's people being murdered unjustly and not being held accountable
Cops are getting paid leave for killing people
That's not right. That's not right by anyone's standards
I'm going to continue to stand with the people that are being oppressed
To me, this is something that has to change
And when there's significant change, and I feel like that flag represents what it's supposed to represent
And this country is representing people the way that it's supposed to, I'll stand
Fuck the NFL, they can go to hell, for the way they treatin' Kap
First they propped him up, just to pimp him out, now they stab him in the back
Tell me why it's like that, mad cuz he speakin' facts
Took a knee and y'all still can't see, cops is out here killing blacks
Hell nah, that ain't justified, damn right these pigs lie
And y'all eat it up like dumb fucks, same scenario happens every time
Cop pull out, shots go off, Black folk get killed while the cop gets off
Video showing y'all all the proof, blame the victim like that's the truth
See, that's that shit I don't like
Fake news, far beyond just black and white
Look at what they trying to do, Civil war, yeah they want part two
Like a remix, funny how everybody can't see this
Or maybe they don't want to, hard to care when it really don't affect you
But I bet you might lose your shit, if your son or daughter had to take the hit
So, quit telling us to let it go when you really don't know what we've been through
A closed mind will never take the time to see the other side of the issue
You have people that practice law and are lawyers and go to school for eight years
But you can become a cop in six months and don't have to have the same amount of training as a cosmetologist
That's insane
Ain't about the military, ain't about your damn flag
This is social injustice, how the hell you can't see that
It's empathy you lack, wanna dance around the fact
That a world made for whites is twice as hard for blacks
Ain't about the military, ain't about your damn flag
This is social injustice, how the hell you can't see that
It's empathy you lack, wanna dance around the fact
That a world made for whites is twice as hard for blacks
Built a country on our backs, built a country on our backs
And every person of color, go ahead, check the stats
Built a country on our backs, built a country on our backs
And every person of color, go ahead, check the stats
From the slave trade to the railroad, get out the way or get steamrolled
America, the next episode, don't give a shit, just freeload
Got land, I'ma take that, y'all was here first, we laugh at that
It's mine now, no take backs, Is there a problem here, just show the strap
Strong arm, steal shit, then collect the profit
Call it manifest destiny, no way to stop my progress
It's obvious, we don't give a fuck about none of y'all
As a matter of fact, be grateful, you're even allowed to live here at all
Got jobs, got family, got a house, got a wife
But just know, better stay in line or I will sacrifice your life
Damn right, game tight, exterminate y'all out of spite
That's what white privilege sounds like
Ain't about the military, ain't about your damn flag
This is social injustice how the hell you can't see that
It's empathy you lack, wanna dance around the fact
That the world made for whites, is twice as hard for blacks
Ain't about the military, ain't about your damn flag
This is social injustice, how the hell you can't see that
It's empathy you lack, wanna dance around the fact
That the world made for whites, is twice as hard for blacks
Built a country on our backs, built a country on our backs
And every person of color, go ahead, check the stats
Built a country on our backs, built a country on our backs
And every person of color, go ahead, check the stats
I mean, someone that's holding a curling iron has more education and more training
Than people that have a gun and are going out on the street to protect us
Do you think you might get cut over this
I don't know. But if I do, I know I did what's right
And I can live with that at the end of the day
