RA-TA-TAT-TAT Lyrics

Ra-ta-tat-tat

Shot in my back

Ain't see it coming

Black-kow

In every city

It just don't stop

We need a solution now

Got different mothers

But still you're my brothers

We bleed and look the same

Pull off the covers

Of hate towards each other

We gotta start using our brains

Bigger than these piano keys

Beyond ebony and ivory

Nonsensical killing

What does it mean?

We bleeding out red

And it's over green

Wow so much wrong

Has been done to our people

We can't take it out on us

That ain't a reason

Black on black crime

Every fucking season

Want it to stop

I'm begging and pleading

From NYC

BedStuy and Brownsville

Hittas like me

Shooting to kill

Southside in Chi-town

Camden in Jersey

Philly to B-more

Damn man we hurting

From Motown down

To ATL

We filling up graves

Locked up in them cells

Middle America

To the west coast

They love us the least

We need it the most

Ra-ta-tat-tat

Shot in my back

Ain't see it coming

Black-kow

In every city

It just don't stop

We need a solution now

Got different mothers

But still your my brothers

We bleed and look the same

Pull off the covers

Of hate towards each other

We gotta start using our brains

Ain't been treated right

Because we ain't white

But that's no excuse

For this self abuse

Need to be solution driven

The problem is violence and killing

We breaking

We should be building

Our brothas up

Past the ceiling

Let's lead with love

Not hate

Scuffed up my kicks

It was a mistake

No disrespect

I'm admiring you

You got a style

A swag

It's cool

Had a rough day

Let's chop it up

Think what we need

Is brotherly love

Direction and guidance

Leadership

Patience and peace

Organization

To take back the streets

Role models

Not gun models

We can pop bottles

That's cool

Our young generation

Needs education

So the world don't treat them

Like fools

We from royalty

We kings and queens

Built this country up

With our backs

What we need the most

From coast to coast

Is to stop this rat-ta-tat-tat

Ra-ta-tat-tat

Shot in my back

Ain't see it coming

Black-kow

In every city

It just don't stop

We need a solution now

Got different mothers

But still you're my brothers

We bleed and look the same

Pull off the covers

Of hate towards each other

We gotta start using our brains
