[Intro: Nikki Grier]

Woah, oh

Oh, yeah yeah

Ah-ah-ah

Ah-ah-ah-ah

[Chorus: Nikki Grier]

Eye for an eye, knee for a knee

You declared war 'cause you don't want peace

You just want sheep, and we are not asleep

Blood on your hands, blood on our streets

Oh, our tears in the night

Another stolen life

'Cause color is all you see

Tell me, is that free? Yeah

[Verse 1: Busta Rhymes & Nikki Grier]

We are not created equal, no

Could give a fuck if I offend a couple people, yo (Tell me, is that free?)

What the fuck are you watchin' us never in the sequel for?

Let me wipe these tears and speak the truth to all my people, oh

Fuck is we doin'? Where we goin' wrong?

That a twelve year old gotta sing this type of shit up in his songs

Gotta pick up his pops and his moms

The youngin' braver than a lot of these niggas that's armed

Watch all my people that they tryna trample

It's time to form and get to lead 'em by every example

In the bathroom, you wash your faces with us

You ain't ready for tradin' places with us

My heart hurt bad

And I talk my shit like this with my kids, they be lookin' for dad

Energy transfer, kids look at me mad

Gotta still be the source of hope, though it's hurtin' me bad

[Chorus: Nikki Grier]

Eye for an eye, knee for a knee

You declared war 'cause you don't want peace

You just want sheep, and we are not asleep

Blood on your hands, blood on our streets

Oh, our tears in the night

Another stolen life

'Cause color is all you see

Tell me, is that free? Yeah

[Verse 2: Busta Rhymes]

Look all the shit my people been through

Think I don't want my kids to live too?

Can't imagine them parents copin'

In they arms with a breathless body they holdin'

God bless the tear of every mama cryin'

Children leave the house wonderin' if today they dyin'

The nerve to say there's bigger fish worth fryin'

If you ain't with us, better know we riotin'

And while you're frontin', you just walk about

If we ain't fightin' for what's right, then what we talkin' 'bout?

And while I fight with all my might, now let me sort shit out

Inspire folks, become the activist they talk about

Allah blessin' every soul that's fallen

Snoop Dogg and others told me to accept my callin'

Prayin' to Jesus hangin' on your wall and

Black man hopin' he make it home tomorrow mornin'

[Chorus: Nikki Grier]

Eye for an eye, knee for a knee

You declared war 'cause you don't want peace

You just want sheep, and we are not asleep

Blood on your hands, blood on our streets

Oh, our tears in the night

Another stolen life

'Cause color is all you see

Tell me, is that free? Yeah

[Outro: Nikki Grier]

I wanna know

Do you really believe?

Do you really believe that we're free?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I wanna know
