[Hook: Giyaz]

I tried to rise but they shutting me down

I tried to speak but they muting me, oh no!

What did I do wrong?

I think I’m alone

I tried to rise but they shutting me down

I tried to speak but they muting me, oh no!

What did I do wrong?

I think I’m alone

[Verse 1: Ifycalex]

Look me in the eyes and see tear drops

I think they want me scared, but I fear not

Fight the system ‘cause they won’t spare us

The police wanna kill me for my haircut

I had to testify

They Killing us like Tsetse flies

The army shooting at us, thеy got me terrified

How many bodiеs got dropped? they can’t verify

We just asking for peace but getting terrorized

I never asked for war, just my right instead

See my brother winning big tryna buy a Benz

But his friends they envy, wish he lying dead

I’ve seen the sign, it’s very clear

I think I like the fear

I’ve got a strong shoulder

So many black thoughts I had to buy a white rover

So many people around me but I still feel like a loner

Just sippin’ on my vodka

Hoping for better days

Praying for better days

[Hook: Giyaz]

I tried to rise but they shutting me down

I tried to speak but they muting me, oh no!

What did I do wrong?

I think I’m alone

I tried to rise but they shutting me down

I tried to speak but they muting me, oh no!

What did I do wrong?

I think I’m alone

[Verse 2: Giyaz]

Took me a few days to write this

Cause my life is, is a crisis

I’ve been fighting for my right it’s

My right to live but not like this

Police got the license to kill me if I’m shining

It’s a nightmare

It’s like ISIS on the rising

Terrorizing your people in the uniform that you supposed to fight crime in

We been searching for peace and we just can’t find it

So when we march, they don’t like it

They fight and divide us

The riot they incited, the government is spineless

Crime on the highest, the youths need guidance

If you’re in the crowd burning down shops, you a minus

Now let me catch my breath

The government want me dead

It’s not a crime to be blessed, it’s not a crime to vent

It’s not a crime to be fresh, it’s not a crime to flex

It’s not a crime to be young, I hope they hear me well

[Hook: Giyaz]

I tried to rise but they shutting me down

I tried to speak but they muting me, oh no!

What did I do wrong?

I think I’m alone

I tried to rise but they shutting me down

I tried to speak but they muting me, oh no!

What did I do wrong?

I think I’m alone
