Find Out
Yo
Sometimes
You just got to speak on the matter
Am gon speak on this one
Yo
Clouds are gathering, it's about to rain heavy
Believe it, It's about to rain heavy
And the storm is gonna hit hard so we gotta stay ready
Brotherman we gotta stay ready
We doing it for Floyd, John, Trayvon, and Gray Freddie
John, Trayvon, and Gray Freddie
We waking sleeping dogs digging up the hatchets that they buried
All the hatchets that they buried
Am never staying quiet in the face of injustice
Joining my people as we raising our voices
Talking 'bout the system, corrupt; can't trust it
The law be oppressing us, the poor get the short stick
First I got a question
Why you trying to ruin me
Why you trying to put me down with every opportunity
What you trying to do to me coming with your cruelty
Why you trying to make me follow the steps of Heuy P?
You don't wanna find out
What it means when they roll up 6 deep hollering Nig, where you from? (Where you from)
You don't want to find out
If they twisting up their fingers, don't be trying to be a gangsta better run
You don't want to find out
What if they pull up on you?
I can't call it, don't know what they gon do (Trust me)
You don't want to find out (Trust me)
You don't want to find out
You got me fighting for my freedom 'cos you still see me as a slave
Yes, you still see me as a slave
That's why you quick to put a handcuff just to see me all in chains
You just wanna see me all in chains
So when you see the rage understand we just giving what you gave
We're giving right back what you gave
But anytime I look into the mirror I just see me as the change
Yeah I see me as the change
So am starting with myself, put an end to the racism
There's an animal in all of us we just caging it
You don't wanna let it out, don't know what you playing with
We've been sleeping on the matter, this is the awakening
Yes am a black man, am proud of my history
Black like eclipses God's given us victory
So we walk tall it don't matter who the beast is
Fist in the air with my brothers and sisters
You don't wanna find out
What it means when they roll up 6 deep hollering Nig, where you from? (Where you from)
You don't want to find out
If they twisting up their fingers, don't be trying to be a gangsta better run
You don't want to find out
What if they pull up on you?
I can't call it, don't know what they gon' do (Trust me)
You don't want to find out (Trust me)
You don't want to find out
Yo

You don't want to find out
What if they pull up on you?
