Awaken
You've been holding a light
All in my space
All in my face
Hoping I'm high as a kite
I guess either way
I'm catching a case
Without even causing a fight
If I don't obey
You think it's okay for me to be paying the price
By taking my rights or taking my life
Is the cause probable?
Is it possible?
That a lot of you lie to who?
Everybody you slide up to
Cause you thinking you better
and got a vendetta unstoppable
Well you do what you gotta do
But for me as a citizen sounds so illogical
Had a vision but you had a prison
And also a mission that wasn't impossible
Stuck in the center
I'm not gon' pretend like this stop didn't have an agenda
Must I surrender because of my gender?
Hands in the air but I said do not enter
I recall but you don't remember
Here let me help you
You fucking pretender
Seconds I mention for you not to enter
You sent for a member to tend to my temper
Easily spent a
Couple of hours against the
Wall like I'm part of the fixture
Pardon me mister
Call up a sergeant because you are hardly a public defender
Forgot that I have a right
Despite the fact that I'm black and not white
Despite the skin color that you don't like
Is not good enough for you taking my life
You've been holding a light
All in my space
All in my face
Hoping I'm high as a kite
I guess either way
I'm catching a case
Without even causing a fight
If I don't obey
You think it's okay for me to be paying the price
By taking my rights or taking my life
Feeling disgusted
Feeling mistrusted
The feeling you must get
To feel like a villain when chilling
I'm just a civilian but still I get fucked with
Out at the market I'm marked as a target because I'm in public
Not making a ruckus but say that I'm busted
And that's why we say there's no justice
Wanna learn?
See the cities that burn?
That's when these idiots squirm
Not condoning the violence
But when we stay silent then nobodies really concerned
Take a stand
Because we're born in the land
Where freedom's a part of the plan
Following Colin some people gon' say he's a problem
But cops can put knees on a man?
Didn't it trickle
Right down the middle
It would be simple just not to belittle
All of the people you say that we matter
Then afterwards hand out another acquittal
Knowing that instances not a coincidence
Probably ignorance
Some of them giggled
Knowing the system is not gonna listen
As long as we victims then fuck being civil
You've been holding a light
All in my space
All in my face
Hoping I'm high as a kite
I guess either way
I'm catching a case
Without even causing a fight
If I don't obey
You think it's okay for me to be paying the price
By taking my rights or taking my life
All in my space
All in my face
Hoping I'm high as a kite
I guess either way
I'm catching a case
Without even causing a fight
If I don't obey
