To the Families
To the families
To the families to the families damn I wish you well
Callin' for justice is like drownin' at a wishin' well
Out here poker is a way of life it can get you killed
This spotlight to your lives is a living hell
I hope you have time to grieve time to yell
To the families to the families Damn I wish you well
To the families to the families Damn I wish you well
I don't know how you do it
Last week we were students
Now we're in an army
And we're all recruited
Mobilized by pain
Prayin' their won't be shootin'
They took a life
They deserve a life
Yea
A life in Prison
I don't know how you do it
When lives lost
Compare to lootin'
What are you saying
All the politics
All the tweets
Y'all clearly haven't been in the streets
That's not meant to divide
But how do you form opinions when you don't recognize
That as allies
Y'all haven't seen it with your own eyes
Y'all haven't felt batons on your own thighs
Now That's not meant to divide
But How do you form opinions when you don't recognize
That as allies
Y'all haven't seen it with your own eyes
Y'all haven't felt batons on your own thighs
To the families to the families damn I wish you well
Callin' for justice is like drownin' at a wishin' well
Out here poker is a way of life it can get you killed
This spotlight to your lives is a living hell
I hope you have time to grieve time to yell
To the families to the families Damn I wish you well
To the families to the families Damn I wish you well
It's a catch-22
If you don't provide images of black deaths to me and you
It won't catch our eyes we become desensitized
And black death becomes normalized
This has become more deadly than anybodies ever realized
I said this has become more deadly than anybodies ever realized
This could be more deadly than redlining or the cops
This could be more deadly than the KKK or the SWAT
To the families to the families damn I wish you well
Callin' for justice is like drownin' at a wishin' well
Out here poker is a way of life it can get you killed
This spotlight to your lives is a living hell
I hope you have time to grieve time to yell
To the families to the families Damn I wish you well
To the families to the families Damn I wish you well
To the families to the families damn I wish you well
Callin' for justice is like drownin' at a wishin' well
Out here poker is a way of life it can get you killed
This spotlight to your lives is a living hell
I hope you have time to grieve time to yell
To the families to the families Damn I wish you well
To the families to the families Damn I wish you well
