Floyd

Lately we been battling the police
Got you on the ground they gone proceed

Been competing for my life
I'm not ya enemy you supposed to be up on my side
Throw me up in jail and say I'll never see the light of day
They wanna take my life away
You find a way to hate me cuz I shine up in the brightest way
Stack until my fingers blister
Give some to my brothers cousins everybody richer
Would give some to my homies but some niggas like to switch up
Trust is a bitch so I'll probably never love her
Seen my guy in a ditch cuz he forgot to wear that buckle
Been quarantining for years I was that boy up in the bubble
Got my people in tears these death tolls steady doing numbers
Now they wonder if they finna make it through the summer
Yeah them pigs gone hate us if we turn into them gunners
Got 'em running smoking like some bacon
Know they hate what they have just awaken
Been running outta patience
Protest this invasion

Lately we been battling the police (THE POLICE)
Got you on the ground not resisting they gone proceed
Kneeling on yo neck on the concrete (ON THE CONCRETE)
They was 'posed to serve us and protect us but we compete
Tell me why we look up to you
Cuz we the highest power we should be the ones enjoying the view
So tell me why we look up to you
They took another life the only sight they hate to see is the truth

Pandemic got 'em listening
Show them that I'm more than a mortal so my combat is lethal
Now I gotta finish him (FINISH HIM)
They tryna keep order and block off the border the chances of that shit
Working is real slim
She told me come dive in it so a nigga took a swim
All this weight on my shoulder ya boy had stayed up in the gym
When I got little older I started stomping in my timbs
Cuz I been in the yard and started pulling they cards
Found a part of me that wanna be on the charts
Now its time to depart I'm going overseas
Copped me a foreign been whipping wit no keys
The way I be moving you thought it was a breeze
Stay in the trees so I been mobbing in the sky
But we live in a world they only love you when you die
Once I give you a turn need you open up ya eye
Hold ya head up high and say ya proud to be alive

Lately we been battling the police (THE POLICE)
Got you on the ground not resisting they gone proceed
Kneeling on yo neck on the concrete (ON THE CONCRETE)
They was 'posed to serve us and protect us but we compete
Tell me why we look up to you
Cuz we the highest power we should be the ones enjoying the view
So tell me why we look up to you
They took another life the only sight they hate to see is the truth

Lately Lately Lately we been battling the police (THE POLICE)
Got you on the ground not resisting they gone proceed
Kneeling on yo neck on the concrete (ON THE CONCRETE)
They was 'posed to serve us and protect us but we compete
Tell me why we look up to you
Cuz we the highest power we should be the ones enjoying the view
So tell me why we look up to you
They took another life the only sight they hate to see is the truth
