Popo
Popo shot the black boy
White boy watched
And as he turned away
The black boy's homies pulled out phones and start recording
Screaming let my brother go
This shit aint right
You law enforcer
Got no power
Fight for justice?
Just my ass
You white ass b
Now this a war
Now this a war
And I wont let you people
Stroll up in my neighborhood
Like we aint good
And tell us put our hands up
Just to shoot us
For a cleaner shot
Right in the chest
And watch us lose our breath
While mothers watch
Now this a war
Now this a war
And i live in a ward
My ancestors had came her on y'alls boats
But that don't make us slaves
And just cuz it's ur boat
You cannot tell me to behave
'Cuz every time that I behave
You put is in a grave
There's more
You treat us like we're yours
I was never yours
U can't sign my rights away
'Cuz I was never yours
And neither were the blacks or browns or whites or asians
All you rich ass makers aint no saying
But your game, we never playin
Skin don't make you who you are
But when you make it who we are
Then we live in a social caste
With lives divided by their role
And no one's life is ever whole
Why?
Why?
Why
Why
Why they takin lives?
We don't wanna take a life
Why they takin lives?
We don't wanna take a life
Why they takin lives?
We don't wanna take a life
Why they takin lives?
We don't wanna take a life
Little b
I know my skin is brown
But that don't mean that people aint my people
So I represent the people
Everyone is equal
Everyone has feelings deeper than they seem
And so i talk like we're all one
The youth is one
Divided from the baby booming
Generation
Try and be the bridge and be the medication
Put the dead in dedication
All the debt, the debt is paying
Better payed
When we recieve the love, no hatin
Oh, let's face it
Strip us of our pride and we would all be naked
Why they takin lives?
We don't wanna take a life
Why they takin lives?
We don't wanna take a life
Why they takin lives?
We don't wanna take a life
Why they takin lives?
We don't wanna take a life
White boy watched
