Hook x 2
Dropping 50 years of game, for 50 years I’ve seen black men slain by the Big Blue Gang, they act like it aint a thang, but something got to change, something got to change.
Verse
Born into fear of those red & blue lights,
Heartbeat rises when you see em on sight
And something ain't right, about that,
I pass the cops in my car in the mirror I keep looking back
A grown ass man yesiring to authority
No bass in my voice I'm the compliant minority
My whole life I taught and teached that mentality.
A master and his slave relationship is the reality
Cleveland cops shot and paralyzed my cousin David
A few times they put the gun to my temple and I waited
For them to pull the trigger,
and be another dead nigger
But I guess GOD had a plan, and its bigger
Than these Napoleon complex racist cop
It’s domestic terrorism and it has to stop
Need a new infrastructure starting from the top.
Hook x 2
Dropping 50 years of game, for 50 years I’ve seen black men slain, the Big Blue Gang, they act like it aint a thang, but something got to change, something got to change.
