WORD TO THE WORLD
Hands up don’t move!
I said
Hands up don’t move!
This is what I hear when I press rewind on
The video: screaming “hands up don’t shoot!”
See you’re trying to figure out how come we do the things we do
But I’m asking you how do you expect me to be okay on the way my world
Is ruled?
When you got police officers busting caps on our people
With a taste of victory
Click clack bang
Another man dead
Mama’s eyes are swollen & red like fire from all those tears she shed
Nanas thinking when will this ever end cause this shit been going
On ever since
Ever since they took black people from their home land
And brought them here
Got our blacks & browns in cells like caged birds
When society predicts on my future
When you got my people divided up into groups like
That does us any good
The government putting drugs into the hood
Having my mind in loops
Trying to understand how does a color person get years
but a white man be out at the hear
And wonder why my heart turns cold from all that I fear.
