Lyrics

Why did they let Minnesota burn

Only slumlords let the building burn

You see a riot

But don’t see the concern

Turn off the water

Let the world see it


Why did they let Minnesota burn

Only slumlords let the building burn

State to state police taking turns

They fuel the rage and let the cities burn

Burn

Burn baby burn

Burn

Burn baby burn

You see a riot

But don’t see the concern

Turn off the water

Let the world see it


First time in Minnesota got arrested

Second time back got arrested again

Was too invested in new intentions to heed the message

A new resident refining my educational lense

Somehow a first-hand witness to dirty business on the inside

Arresting officers omitted information they claim got lost

They tried to John Doe me

Like they ain’t know my name

That’s when my signal started smoking

For filming protests got shot at and pepper-sprayed

They tried to add some charges

They got dropped I walked away

All on my first day and I stayed

It took me a while to realize what I’d done

Till I left and when I came back they said

Go back where you’re from

While smiling

On some Minnesota nice shhh

How many times I almost got killed by the ops

I stopped counting

That’s why we’re standing on the pavement

Fists up it’s time to talk about some changes


Why did they let Minnesota burn

Only slumlords let the building burn

State to state police taking turns

They fuel the rage and let the cities burn

Burn

Burn baby burn

Burn

Burn baby burn

You see a riot

But don’t see the concern

Turn off the water

Let the world see it


We start to feel that we shouldn't be there

It's in the sign but the message wasn't clear

They hold up a welcome message

Then introduce mental bondage

Some things can't be patched with bandage

Some pain cant go mis-managed

While I dictate heat to these christian beats

They move feet in these streets protesting the beast

Somebody send that water to Flint

Cause right here we don’t need that shhh

It didn't start with knee on a neck

It was a spark after the disrespect

The redlines should have marked reparation

We now know the plot slave nation

That's why we standing on this pavement

Fists up its time to talk about some changes


Why did they let Minnesota burn

Only slumlords let the building burn

State to state police taking turns

They fuel the rage and let the cities burn

Burn

Burn baby burn

Burn

Burn baby burn

You see a riot

But don’t see the concern

Turn off the water

Let the world see it


Why did they let Minnesota burn

Only slumlords let the building burn

State to state police taking turns

They fuel the rage and let the cities burn

Burn

Burn baby burn

Burn

Burn baby burn

You see a riot

But don’t see the concern

Turn off the water

Let the world see it
