SKU, Pt. 3 (feat. Jay Tatum, Chari' Joy, Dom Root, Theresa Lovely, StoneOnSax, Cofey, Sahar the Star & Stefani Monet)

Tryna put a SKU on our life, yeah
Tryna put a SKU on our life, yeah
What you gonna do when we fight back?
What you gonna do when we fight back?
Tryna put a SKU on our life, yeah
Tryna put a SKU on our life, yeah
What you gonna do when we fight back?
What you gonna do when we fight back?

I done seen the soul escape the eyes too many times now
I can hear your mama's heart break when she was cryin' now
Too many people playin' God, and it's sick
How does anger turn to murder so quick?
Got a lotta hearts filled with hatred, malicious intent
Does God forgive everyone who repents?
There's oppression in the air and we been smellin' the scent
Got familiar with the fragrance and been wearin' it since
We done kept hope alive and kept on marchin'
Kept it peaceful, but our people gettin' slaughtered
Everybody "Sis"; we unified like son and daughter
Gotta keep uprootin' the seeds they tryna water
We need reparation for the legislation
Written with loopholes to keep us enslaved
We need reparation for appropriation
If you appreciate us
Then change your wicked ways

I'm here for a cause
Don't say those things, don't stay out too long
None of those houses really felt like home
I did nothing wrong, seems like you want me gone
My weapon is my microphone
Stop killing us (Stop, stop)
Stop killing us
Stop killing us
Stop killing us

Who do we call?
How do we fight?
When no matter what to do, they claim that it ain't right?
Make it about the flag, so we breaking the ruse
We just tryna stay alive and not end up in tombs
Take your finger off the trigger, man, so y'all can't shoot
Pressure on the system 'til we bust through the roof
These voices unified, so we speaking in tune
These voices amplified, so we reaching the youth
What if the red on the back of the bullet belonged to you
They ain't 'bout to check the tag, they just ready to shoot
Then we gon' need a price check on 2
Nip this tree at the roots
80 proof my liquor, 3 whole 5ths for the crew
We pour up in the night time for the ones that we lost
Black bodies with targets on 'em, how much does it cost?
How much does it cost?
How much does it cost? (Yeah)

Tell me, how many times must I die before your eyes until you can see me?
How many chants must I cry to be heard?
"No fear," they say
Carry on, we'll make way
Create a new lane, a new world for our boys and girls
We can...
We can, "Hands up, don't shoot"
We can, "I love you too"
We can, "I don't wanna die young"
We can, "I don't have a gun, stop shootin'. They lootin'"
Mind over body; you minding my body
I can't breathe
"You promised you wouldn't kill me"
Stop killing us
Stop killing us
Stop killing us
Stop killing us

Mama, I'm tired of fightin'
Mama, I'm tired of cryin'
Mama, I can't take no mo'
What I'm fightin' for
Stop killing us
Stop
Stop killing us
Stop killing us

Ooo, I just want to breathe
Ooo, I just wanna breathe
You know, they labeled with SKUs, and, yo, it starts in the schools
Reflecting the truth, you know, aligning my moves
I'm teaching the youth, you know I pay for that, too
Conditioning tools just to follow some rules
Education or patience to uprise through abuse
Let me water you, child, so you can harvest your fruit
Come sit for a while and feel your toes in the dirt
No pressure to bloom when you're rooted in truth
Won't you breathe, won't you breathe, won't you breathe?
Just breathe
Won't you breathe?
I just wanna transfer love out towards your soul
Let your body know you're whole
Give your heart out through yourself
Your mind's been searching in these holes
We can root and plant a seed; grow unto infinity
Won't you breathe?
Stop killing us
Stop killing us

Deja de matarnos
De matarnos
De matarnos
Deja de matarnos
De matarnos
De matarnos
