Quit Shooting US
Quit shooting us
Our mommas keep loosing us
All these other people in the world and y'all choosing us
Y'all abusing us tell me why y'all using us
Just for a pay-cation y'all killing and accusing us
"Hands up"
Okay officer
"Don't run"
I won't officer
"Is that a gun"
BOW
No Officer, you said for me to get my ID, I was Officer
So why you shoot me
"You were refusing"
No I wasn't, you just confused me
"Was that a threat"
No Officer
BOW BOW BOW
Okay enough I'm dead officer
"Face down on the ground 'cause ya skin brown
You have the right to shut up nr, don't make a sound
Tell me where the drugs are, I know that you got em"
Ain't no drugs
You just assuming I'm a thug, that's ya problem
I'm only 19
I got big dreams
If you kill me now
How I'ma live em out
It won't phase you
They gone praise you
Give you the week off and they still gone pay you
Why you kill me
What'd I do to you
Soon as you get back you'll be driving at my funeral
We taught to take chances and they taking our lives
They live to tell the lies while the black boy dies
Ha uh
While the black boy dies
Uh
While the black boy dies
Yeah
Telling they lies
Uh
While the black boy dies
Ha
I got a life too
I got rights too
My family pray I make it home tonight just like you
I wanna live
Ion wanna die
I wanna see my momma smile, you gone make her cry
This why we got hate for you
Half of us afraid of you
Forget that you a human if we take that badge away from you
No man left behind ain't that what y'all be saying
I guess that don't apply, y'all leave us dead on the pavement
Now we'd be dead wrong if we was to rebel
Realize I said dead and if not then in jail
We just trynna make a difference man let us be great
God gave this me life, so it aint yours to take
This cycle is continuous, I swear it's repetition
Never made progression we still stuck in the beginning
First it was slavery
Then segregation
Now citations turn to crime scenes and better reputations
Ha
Quit shooting us
Our mommas keep loosing us
All these other people in the world and y'all choosing us
Y'all abusing us tell me why y'all using us
Just for a pay-cation y'all killing and accusing us
"Hands up"
NO OFFICER

I WON'T OFFICER
"Is that a gun"
