[Klassy]

Black suit in a wooden casket while they mask it

Blue suit clockin' in again like nothing happened

Red lights flashin’ over silouhette with chalk, shot

In daylight, yellow tape around the whole block

Bloody sidewalk and it never seem to dry up 

Happens often, shit is fucked up, and we all fed up

Tell, where's the justice? where is the peace?

And every chance we get we say "fuck the police"

Pull thе trigger like they damn cold bloodеd

Crocodile tears til the court get flooded

Give the testimony say they fit for the life

I guess melanin's a threat, didn’t even think twice

Bitter like cops, they just get a slap on the wrist

They back on the job, now how'd it ever get like this

Dirty cop dittybops away with murder

But I'ma pass it to Bettina to explain further


[Bettina]

Fuck a fed, fuck a city cop

Watch 'em dittybop

While the grave filled with us

I seen it on the city block

Then you have the nerve to speculate

Pullin' out your phone when bodies on the floor

Feelin' separate

You know that could've been you

You know that could've been your loved ones

And your family too

I pray for healin’ for the ones who didn’t make it

Waitin' at the heaven’s gate

I seen a lot of death in 2020

Vision got me ja-ded

How you puttin' flowers on the grave

When you stand for shit that holdin' up the system

And I hope you got the real heart tho

And [?] on survival, revolution for sure, you know

On and on and on

Real life's comin’ and there ain't no runnin' from the shit we livin', you know (x2)


[Chorus]

What we gotta do to make you listen?

I mean, what we gotta do to make you listen?

I mean, what else we gotta do to make you listen?

I mean, what we gotta do to make you listen?

What we gotta do to make you listen?

I mean, what else we gotta do to make you listen?

I mean, what can we do to make you listen?

What can we do to make you listen?


[Carl Angelo]

Wear a fuckin' mask when you dittybop

Milly Rock, hit the quan everytime you get outside

COVID-19 still alive, fuck the silly talk

You sound like a tele-prompt

Tell me what you really on

Something really fishy 'bout these beneficiary Black, music consumin' Asian Greek organizations get to me

My art official, not artificial, that's how I go

Even Donald Trump won't like how I'm pushin' the envelope

HQs exit queue, givin' ex-a-cuse

That's disciplinary action time

Killa cops acquitted as quick as they gun

Equipped with reaction time

Lyin' distractions on track to find as they sensitize

Sanitize us, ammunition out of stock

Killers out to stalk

E-D-D, E-B-T, P-P-E from out of stocks

For doctors

It be them against the world, 2pac in '95

All eyes on them when they rockin' 95, bless your hearts


[Marco Kane]

I'm from the sunnyside, soda in a bag

Pistol in the dash, pops and I coast to never glorify

[?] on the weekend if they catch you lackin' with it

Then the next step is to get you out here crucified

It's do or die, literal when it's you and I

Country that divide us but we're stronger when we're unified

How can they scrutinize when you put a fist up in the air

They quick to forget that the land they claim was colonized

Fuck it, who I am to be sayin' some shit

I'm from a 3rd world country, check if your ticket's legit

It's either government or your neighbor that's pullin' a lick

At both times you gettin' fucked like your life don't exist

Inside the belly of the beast, hungry, hustlin' until we feast

When you livin' feelin' deceased you keep pushin' til we increase

The salary that we keep, your freedom to keep a piece

We hidin' between the crease in the barrio

I found the key, Marco!


[Chorus]

What we gotta do to make you listen?

I mean, what we gotta do to make you listen?

I mean, what else we gotta do to make you listen?

I mean, what we gotta do to make you listen?

What we gotta do to make you listen?

I mean, what else we gotta do to make you listen?

I mean, what can we do to make you listen?

What can we do to make you listen?


[Bambu]

Wear a fuckin' mask when you film a cop

Remove the Ray Bans when you grill a opp

I know the news and government do lie a lot

So I know why all my folks hesitant for a COVID shot

But you know they put chemicals in your food, right?

Preservatives that'll definitely cut your span of life

I ain't judgin', man, I'm the same homie

I had a 2 piece crispy crunchy the other day lodi

Fuck it I'll take that nano bite, I might as well

Chase it with a gram of cannibus and a San Miguel

High as hell, I been pushin' marijuana tough

Teachin' baby girl to stab and twist if they runnin' up

I heard they beatin' old Asian folks just to do it

I bought my mom a .380 to cut the bullshit

I know the hood do not need no more police though

They work in violence so how the fuck we gon' be peaceful


[Chorus]

What we gotta do to make you listen?

I mean, what we gotta do to make you listen?

I mean, what else we gotta do to make you listen?

I mean, what we gotta do to make you listen?

What we gotta do to make you listen?

I mean, what else we gotta do to make you listen?

I mean, what can we do to make you listen?

What can we do to make you listen?
