[Intro]

Uh, yeah, yeah

Uh

[Verse]

My people dying tryna dodge Corona

All of a sudden, we got something called the ''New Normal''

Y'all sure y'all don't mean the New World Order?

Not to mention Trump really has nothin' to offer

Something fishy in the air, we need better Febreeze

Although it seems they want us locked away or on a leash

It ain't black versus white or versus police

It's against the Constitution, we fighting for peace

So please stop believing we all cause trouble

I know some work in silence and others mumble

We're rowdy 'cause we feel as though we need to rumble

We move in bubbles or huddles 'cause we're stuck in the jungle

We hustle 'cause we feel like that's our way outta the hood

Why do we bring good, and still misunderstood?

Let me overstand, y'all just want us under, man

Stimulus checks help, but soon there will be new demands, yeah

It ain't hard to tell

And with how the system works, it ain't hard to fail

That's the plan though, we're expected to heel

We always take L's, how we're expected to heal?

We have a painful past, how y'all expect us to feel?

The government cheating on us, so we rob and we steal

I'm just bein' blunt, but this is to my people

Everyday's a movie, yeah, we live at the Regal

We want them to feel our pain, like sharing needles

Just remember your blood, your family need you

And we see 12 using force to make us take heed

Only time I'll bow down is to take a knee

But it ain't gon' be for them, it's for all my people falling

Every time y'all get to brawling and making us bleed

Who can we talk to nowadays to hear our pain?

It's like we in a tournament and we're losing the game

We have everything to lose, not enough to gain

But when our back's against the wall, we strengthen the flame

Listen, all the rioting, all the violence

Racism isn't getting worse, it's bein' filmed

The non-blacks that love us blacks are all silencing

Y'all love our ways, so speak up if we're getting killed, yeah

In times of despair, we searching for hope

With our demeanor, people swear we searching for smoke

Still gotta be tough, so we're learning to cope

Some spread love, others returning to dope

One thing's for sure, two thing's for certain

We don't need pity, we carry our own burdens

I wanna open curtains in this state of emergence

Break up ice cold BS, build each other with urgence

Need light at tunnel's end, gotta be that light

I'm talking shining in a blackout, be that bright

Tryna turn wrongs to rights, we deserve real rights

These are all sober thoughts, I'm just high off life

I know pain well, so I speak it fluently

If it's one thing we all need, it's unity

So we gotta learn to move as one in all communities

Put the differences aside for this opportunity

Trill

[Outro]

I know pain well, speak it fluently

If it's one, uh

Black lives matter

Aight, we outta here

Yeah
