[Intro]

Uh, no, we will not

Uh, nah

[Verse]

No, we will not stand here in silence while they take the lives

Of our brothers and sisters and partners

We will not turn a blind eye to the murder with no repercussions

Oh no, we will not

We will not live on our knees, we will die on our feet

This ain't no lie that I speak

All you youngins out here in the streets only wanna shoot people who look like you

You can stay home, you too weak

Oh no, we will not go and repeat the mistakes of the past

Ignorin' the snakes in the grass that's payin' you cash

Still we pray and we fast 'til one day that's your ass

We will not ask for no war, no, no, no, no, no, no

But we will be prepared for one

Hopin' not with a gun, with the unity

Using the same shit you did to destroy me

We sick of the garbage you kickin' and teachin', and lynchin' us

Lockin' us up for no reason and killin' us

No consequences, convictions, you serious?

Lyin' about what you show in the media

Assassinate all the leaders who leadin' us

Leave us with ones who misleadin' us

Then go and reward all the ones who mistreat us

And leave us in projects and give us these poisonous products

On top of narcotics to push to our sisters and brothers

Like them ain't our sisters and brothers

No, we will not be run amuck, led astray or bamboozled

The buck'll be stoppin' today

See what happen when athletes'll no longer play for you

Tell them accountants to pray for you, huh

I don't respect or disrespect what that paper do

Look up, it's too late for you

Droppin' you off, turnin' your profits to loss

When we wan' go shop in the mall

United, we all stuck in this bullshit together

Showin' these folk we just won't take whatever

Or else they just roll up and shoot up whatever

Just like they've been doin' forever

The niggas swear they hard be huffin' and puffin'

But ain't gon' do nothin' the enemy try 'em

They wait behind enemy lines, why you tryna be so friendly now?

Handle your business now

And we won't fear nothin' but judgement from God

Standin' there lookin' at me sayin' you ain't do nothin'

I bless you when you ain't invested in nothin'

Just kept up the cycle of death and destruction

Ignornin' your neighbor won't help him but helpin' yourself

Just like the devil himself (Shit)

Promote all that fornication, all that baby makin'

Ain't no baby raisin' for a generation

Now they trapped in systems 'cause incarceration was inevitable due to education

Substandard institution never cared

J's drop, buyin' every pair

Crack rock, crip, blood, all the eighties

GD, VL, whatever to separate 'em

Hip hop, King, you finally made it

Your time to take it past Martin Luther

All that money and you still blew it

Didn't save and you feel stupid

Itunes came and they bootleggin'

That's what you get for bein' hard headed

God damn, nigga, may as well gon' and go to Hell, hell

'Cause I tried as hard as I can, nigga

I know you only a man, but God damn, nigga

[Outro: Malcolm X]

They don't scare negroes today with no badge, or no white skin, or no white sheet, or no white anything else. They police the same way, they put their club upside your head and then turn around and accuse you of attacking them. Every case of police brutality against a negro follows the same pattern – they attack you, bust you all upside your mouth and then take you to court and charge you with assault. What kind of democracy is that?
