Retaliate
I don't have the words right now
I don't know why
Can't see 'em coming down my face
So I just let my soul cry
Wake up, put my face on
For the whole world to see
'Cause I will never let you know
How much you're hurting me
But I can only take so much
I can only take so much
I can only take so much
So much
Til I retaliate
Til I retaliate
Til I retaliate
Til I retaliate
Til I retaliate
Til I retaliate
Til I retaliate
Til I retaliate
Now I'm the bad guy, and you mad, why?
Try to understand, try to see it through these sad eyes
Understand that black life is so fragile
Try to wear these shoes and you couldn't run a half mile
Man I'm tired of people telling me to stand in my place
As I'm watching my brothers dying at the hands of the state
So, if they don't see my hands, then you'll be planning my wake?
Well, damn, It seems like the standard of late
But I can only take so much
I can only take so much
I can only take so much
So much
Til I retaliate
Til I retaliate
Til I retaliate
Til I retaliate
Til I retaliate
Til I retaliate
Til I retaliate
Til I retaliate
Tired of the violence
Tired of the sirens
Tired of the dying, the crying
No more silence
Til I retaliate
Til I retaliate
Til I retaliate
Til I retaliate
Til I retaliate
Til I retaliate
Til I retaliate
Til I retaliate
I don't know why
Can't see 'em coming down my face
So I just let my soul cry
Wake up, put my face on
For the whole world to see
'Cause I will never let you know
How much you're hurting me
But I can only take so much
I can only take so much
I can only take so much
So much
Til I retaliate
Til I retaliate
Til I retaliate
Til I retaliate
Til I retaliate
Til I retaliate
Til I retaliate
Til I retaliate
Now I'm the bad guy, and you mad, why?
Try to understand, try to see it through these sad eyes
Understand that black life is so fragile
Try to wear these shoes and you couldn't run a half mile
Man I'm tired of people telling me to stand in my place
As I'm watching my brothers dying at the hands of the state
So, if they don't see my hands, then you'll be planning my wake?
Well, damn, It seems like the standard of late
But I can only take so much
I can only take so much
I can only take so much
So much
Til I retaliate
Til I retaliate
Til I retaliate
Til I retaliate
Til I retaliate
Til I retaliate
Til I retaliate
Til I retaliate
Tired of the violence
Tired of the sirens
Tired of the dying, the crying
No more silence
Til I retaliate
Til I retaliate
Til I retaliate
Til I retaliate
Til I retaliate
Til I retaliate
Til I retaliate
Til I retaliate
