unarmed Lyrics

Unarmed, guns drawn

Wish that I could be free, but I'm so lost

Headed home from store, what could go wrong

Cops pull a brother over and unload on him

Oh Lord, hold on

He was screaming he can't breathe, they ain't slow up

They will tell a man to freeze, leave him froze up

The most wild part is, he be unarmed

Not even considering harm

Family waiting at the house for him to put dinner on

Man working nine to five

Getting enough just to keep the car in drive

A little on the side to get gifts for his child

He want to turn his baby mother to wife

But with the price of things, that'd have him in debt for the rest of his life

And although it sounds enticing, it isn't likely

Full-time father playing his role

The cops shooting like Spike Lee

And it's so tragic how it all goes down

Thought he'd make it back home

But look at him now

Bleeding out, on the side of the road

Police losing control

Gang banging while they out on patrol

Take it slow or they gone label you foe

Keep your head up, soldier

Don't ever let the badge holders unload

The whole clip into the back of your whip

It can get scary for sure

But know the law and you win

Knowledge application

Be patient and keep your faith in Allah

Stay straight and keep on building strength

Your thoughts gotta be pure, intentions the same

This crooked game wanna see you laid out on the pavement

Even though you're unarmed

Unarmed, guns drawn

Wish that I could be free, but I'm so lost

Headed home from store, what could go wrong

Cops pull a brother over and unload on him

Oh Lord, hold on

He was screaming he can't breathe, they ain't slow up

They will tell a man to freeze, leave him froze up

The most wild part is, he be unarmed

Now just imagine

What happens to a teen

Not even grown yet

Filled with passion and dreams

7 years after 10

With a bag of Skittles

Man claiming that he fears for his life

Leaves this young man's body all riddled

With bullet holes

That's a shame

I couldn't even understand how his whole family heals pain

That's a real deep scar

We still caught in their war

Commercial terms got us branded and lost

I pray for everybody that has left too early

Like Trayvon Martin on my unarmed jersey

I could name the fallen members of the Asiatic race

But I could never replace the joy they brought to their people's face

It's time to be armed with knowledge

Armed with truth, armed with divine protection

Instead of rioting for what we been through

I got nothing but love for all my people

But we gotta move clear and reclaim that we're equal
