[Verse 1]

I saw like four, five police cars on the 405

Fly by in code, three time to hold the line

They see the weapon in you, no sudden moves if you do

Our very bodies are shotties, wait 'til we use our minds


[Pre-Chorus]

Woke up this morning to people mourning

Another brother they murdered just as a warning

That if we speak up 'bout how they treat us

They’ll do it over and over until we bite back


[Chorus]

This time we bite back

So let's bite them back

This time we bite back

They'll do it over and over until we bite back


[Verse 2]

Fuck forgiveness God's a witness and she has seen it all

That's your Jesus, those light features don't look like me at all

I want more pictures of we in books that teach history

I want to be there when the final racist statue falls


[Pre-Chorus]

Woke up this morning to people mourning

Another sister we miss her, tensions are soaring

This time we speak up, make sure they see us

They just gon beat us won't feed us until we bite back


[Chorus]

This time we bite back

So let's bite them back

This time we bite back

They'll do it over and over until we bite back, yeah, huh


[Bridge]

That gospel for which you have and continue to benefit from is the curse

By which we continue to be destroyed, so please

Please stop preaching that painful privilege gospel

And let us live free

Free of the anxiety we experience

Knowing our bodies will be targeted and destroyed

As if to serve as a symbol of the power

They have convinced us we do not possess

Our beautiful bodies like trophies

Paste upon the mantle of a collapsing structure

We are the fucking trophies and we are the fucking victims saying

Let's fucking bite back


[Chorus]

This time we bite back

So let's bite them back

This time we bite back

They'll do it over and over until we bite back

This time we bite back

Let's fucking bite back

This time we bite back

They'll do it over and over until we bite back


[Outro]

Bite back
