[Intro: lockwood.]
How you take something so pure
As a human life
And make it endure
All this pain and strife?
[Verse 1]
They see my mood and then they ask me what my problem is
Its always on the news, but they just won’t acknowledge it
Its easier to get rap sheets than scholarships
I guess that’s why this country’s got more prisons than colleges
And planned parenthood’s killing children on the DAILY
And the government is funding them like man this shit is crazy
How they asking me the reason for the way I’m feeling lately
While they’re selling off the body parts of those aborted babies
And CNN confirmed Cliff Huxtable’s a rapist
NBC said Donald Trump about to rule the nation
But really you can miss me dawg if you watch FOX news
Cuz the shit that they be spitting is fiction, its not true
Really its not cool with your racist disposition
I don’t believe that Sandra Bland hung herself in that prison
I know that I’m a rapper and I’m not a politician
I’m just tired of believing what lies on the the television
[Hook]
*news clips*
(Chant) No chill, no chill, no chill
[Verse 2]
Crooked cops will find any reason to kill us
I won’t believe that Mike Brown died over some swishers
I can't accept Eric Garner lost breath over cigarettes
Won’t get no rest till its justice for all my niggas
So I’m crying over Oscar Grant and Tamir Rice
And also John Crawford III ain't commit no crimes
I’m praying to forgive their killers, yeah they all need Christ
But every time I wear a hoodie, I see Trayvon’s eyes
Man…somebody bout to catch a fade like Steve Smith
My auntie said I’m filled with rage, I need to repent
I told her every single day, you know my knees bent
I’m really feeling on a mission, I won’t relent
People just like me out here dying on the weekly
Fake friends just don’t know what its like to be me
Cuz really if you did, you wouldn’t tell me take it easy
But I guess for other people, these just stories on the TV
True
[Hook 2]
*news clips*
(Chant) No chill, no chill, no chill
[Verse 3]
I’m hurting. Cutting on my television
I see another black life taken by cop’s decision
I talked to the people round me
Said I think this needs attention
Not only they didn’t listen, they said "protest isn’t Christian"
Man! You hate my people yet pretend like we friends
I finally figured out---y'all afraid of this skin
I'll Kaepernick every anthem til the system is fixed
Bro my niggas is done camping, now we getting intense
Its no chill
No chill, no chill no chill
No chill no chill, no chill
No chill
No chill
No chill
Its no chill
No chill, no chill no chill
No chill no chill, no chill
No chill
No chill
No chill
Its no chill
[Outro]
I lay my head down at night
I can't see the end in sight
These images washing over me
They take hold of me
And they show me we got no chill
It sends chills all through my body
Its all the politicians lobbying
It seems like they're all phony
And not concealing it
Til we deal with it, I won't chill
[Jesse Williams Outro]
But freedom is somehow always conditional here
"You're free," they keep tellin us
But, she would have been alive if she hadn't acted so...
Free
