Sirens

Every time I see the news I see us dying
See the colors of our nation got us blinded
Too many nights getting ruined by the sirens
Nights getting ruined by the sirens

Vivid scriptures, thou shall not waste time fronting for a friends list
Can I get a witness
Life's shit I need white towel
So many IOUs I don't like vowels
I guess the raw come from broken Lifestyles
Drive like a Tesla cause I feel the exhaust
From politicians passing laws with no care bout the costs
And I still gotta go and pay the taxes
Grinding for democracy with hypocrisy tactics
Keep it 100, when we need it they get reluctant
Cleaning our community never been in the budget
Thought it seems the American Dream is a nine to five
Bitch please, got a bachelor's degree and I feel deprived
Graduated miseducated, that's not to mention
Systematic oppression up the pressure like hypertension
Trynna fight the system, nowadays yall don't like to listen
We thrive on the lies and we hide to survive see this the life
Cash rules everything we still gotta fight, for our rights
I know too many people had they nights

Nights ruined by the sirens
Nights ruined by the sirens

Thought I said it before but I guess I'll reflect
Take my life and get a check tell me what you protect
Neglecting my human rights how they ask for respect
So when you young Black in America know what to expect
For damn sure ain't understanding I expect under tones
We make our own then they making bank making our clones
Like iPhones when they shoot it the original's dead
'Cause it sends bluer message when they leave you on read
It's blood in the streets and it ain't from cuzz did
It's from what the fuzz did, the city corrupted
Got off with no proof for reasonable doubt to shoot
They was preying on my niggas while praying for Dylan Roof, this is truth
You don't see I don't know how to explain
I'm just keeping it honest while they keepin us tamed
Cause they don't treat us the same, breakdown what they can't contain
Want us to fly but we stay in the cage
See we slaves to the rhythm with the power to change, so we don't
But until we break chains stay low
A wise man who lost his soul once said drive slow
And keep the hazard lights on when you see them hoes
Fuck the sirens

It's the little things they take away from me
Just cuz you like your chain that shit don't make you free
A piece of mind hard to come by
A piece of mind hard to come by
A piece of mind hard to come by

It's the little things they take away from me
Just cuz you like your chain that shit don't make you free
A piece of mind hard to come by
A piece of mind hard to come by
Come by
Come by
