Intro:
You are under arrest, you have the right to remain silent
Anything you say can and will be used against you in the court of law
You have the right to an attorney
If you can not afford an attorney, one will be provided for you
Do you understand these rights? X3
Hook:
Your numbness so weak
Fuck your police
Corruption’s so deep
No justice, no peace
Fuck it, no sleep
Mo ruckus, don’t weep
No justice, no peace
No justice, no peace
Verse 1:
I’m a black man and I never feel safe
Anytime I’m outside I’m looking both ways
Most days I expect one officer to step
Those days that they don’t, I’m just preparing for the next
I’m not even a criminal my record squeaky clean, but
My mind was designed to fear the Machine
On the other hand I wanna trust the Justice System, but
Tamir Rice showed me, FUCK THE JUSTICE SYSTEM, cause
He was only 12 when the pigs gunned him down
You know thats bullshit
The homie Sean Bell saw like 50 something shells
Hell that’s more than 3 full clips
Only in America can homies get killed by the
Main mfas who’s supposed to be our shield, if
All lives matter why don’t you stand with us
Supporting fucking cloth over “just some nigga.”

(Chorus)
I’m a black man, and I’ve never felt safe
Anytime I’m outside I am looking both ways
Most days I expect one officer to step
Just looking for a target discharge then arrest
Overstepping their authority, oppressing the minority
Hold homies hostage flexing faux superiority
Never mind the law because they are the law apparently
Crooked cops are planting drugs but if we judge its heresy
Rare of me, to express external frustrations
Actually I have lost so much patience, as I
Walk amongst the racists, see the hatred in the history
Facing opposition and pigs ain’t doing shit for me
Or is it they aren’t meant to be, they’re heroes for supremacy
Restricting me, from the free will God has given me
Damaging my liberty, brandishing artillery, if its
3 Strikes for life, I’ll make my first strike for victory
