[Intro]

Jucee

Loyal 100

Yeah Yeah

Yeah Yeah

This the hate you gave us

Yeah

This the hate you gave us


[Chorus]

Prayin’ to my saviours

Lord, can you save us

Throw us in the jungle

Then they lock us up in cages

Sayin’ that we free

And then they find a way to slave us

Complain about the riots

But this the hate you gave us

How would you feel if somebody killed your baby

That’s how we feel, you done took another baby

Call us gorillas when it’s time to turn the tables

They call us thugs

But this the hate you gave us


[Verse #1]

This was going on for years

All the blood, all the tears

And thе colour of your skin

They decide if you livе

And we so sick and tired

And we tired of being secret

Every day, somebody mama gotta cry all again

Daddies murdered, this is not police brutality

Black Lives Matter, tell ‘em all to face reality

Ain’t tryna be no casualty

They killin’ us so casually

Got racist ass old CEOS

The Klan up in your faculty

I gotta protect my family


[Bridge]

Shooters in the back and put a knee on us

Say you wanna stand but you could never breath for us

Just want our justice and our rights

Keep your stimulus

What good is marching gon’ do if they’re not hearin’ us

Seen so many of kind crying, like they ain’t weep enough

Seen so many of my kind dying, why they up in handcuffs

Ain’t no Martin or Malcolm, we gon’ need someone to lead us

You can’t call police or police, who gon’ save us


[Chorus]

Prayin’ to my saviours

Lord, can you save us

Throw us in the jungle

Then they lock us up in cages

Sayin’ that we free

And then they find a way to slave us

Complain about the riots

But this the hate you gave us

How would you feel if somebody killed your baby

That’s how we feel, you done took another baby

Call us gorillas when it’s time to turn the tables

They call us thugs

But this the hate you gave us


[Verse #2]

Say a prayer for your babies

They out here killin’ forreal

When I talk to my sons

I tell them what it is

They hate you for your skin

They don’t care who you is

Killed a boy for a BB gun, I think he was six

I think that I’m proud, not afraid

Just prayin’ for better days

They tryna turn out the page

But it don’t help with the rage

Cuz it’s the end of the book

They took our lives like a crook

I cannot help how I look

But I’m so proud of my roots

Yeah


[Bridge]

Shooters in the back and put a knee on us

Say you wanna stand but you could never breath for us

Just want our justice and our rights

Keep your stimulus

What good is marching gon’ do if they’re not hearin’ us

Seen so many of kind crying, like they ain’t weep enough

Seen so many of my kind dying, why they up in handcuffs

Ain’t no Martin or Malcolm, we gon’ need someone to lead us

You can’t call police or police, who gon’ save us


[Chorus]

Prayin’ to my saviours

Lord, can you save us

Throw us in the jungle

Then they lock us up in cages

Sayin’ that we free

And then they find a way to slave us

Complain about the riots

But this the hate you gave us

How would you feel if somebody killed your baby

That’s how we feel, you done took another baby

Call us gorillas when it’s time to turn the tables

They call us thugs

But this the hate you gave us


[Outro]

This the hate you gave us

They wanna call us thugs

This the hate you gave us
