Revolution

Now we out here talking about what might be
Act more talk less and trust the almighty
They put the guns on our head, and tell us night-y
Not what I asked, wanted peace politely

Now we out here looking for it like the kids
From stranger things, out of my mind, out of the wind
Our people disappearing from the front of our eyes
When I post I'm alone cuz god forbid

If they came looking for my people, they'll get hit
Even though we are citizens, with papers we get pinned
Persevered, paid taxes, gave love, volunteered
When they see our melanin, we are sinners, keep it hid

Imma Muslim imma terrorist, hijab they need to tug
I'm Latino Imma rapist, I'm black then imma thug
They trynna put my face on they fist, cuz I do drugs
When I tell em I'm innocent, they could care less, they shrug

Don't use that force on me, I'm not a dacoit
Treat us like a terminator, we're not androids
Best revenge is the paper, but they don't employ
If they deploy we destroy more, and that's on Floyd

Everywhere there's a minority they ain't treated well
What's the curse man, like what is the spell
How could the prejudice be dispelled
They wanna stay ignorant, acceptance repel

We need to stop this mess, we all need to unite
We belong to one race, need to not collide
These haters want us to fight, they trynna ignite
But we know love leads to peace, and hate to genocides

It ain't even about being black or being white
If you see wrong think what you can do in your might
'Cuz the destiny to utopia is a long flight
We need to use our privilege and rights for what's right

There was a Martin Luther King, Desmond Viola
Ghandi, Quaid, Malcolm X, and Nelson Mandela
Rosa Parks, Gorbachev, Harriet Tubman
Now we have Greta, Malala, you, chef kiss voila

That was a moment of silence for all of the dead
Fighting for our freedoms, so we sleep on our beds
Fighting for our stomachs, so we can all stay fed

There's many clowns on the throne who stay confuting
Say when the looting starts so does the shooting
Recruiting bastards for peace, and keep polluting
Enforcement system, falsely prosecuting

I say "Black Lives Matter" cuz mass incarceration
They state that's fake but don't look at the saturation
Why we can't educate, there's no concentration
Because hate is a wall, and there's no penetration

Free Uyghur, Palestine, Kashmir
What's a curfew, y'all just wanna create fear
Mass genocides and ethnic cleansing
Ain't the way to clean your town it's a war you declare

But why don't they stand up for us Muslims
Y'all need to get together first, there's no conundrum
They call us terrorist and we be mad at it
Let's show em we're taught peace, 'cuz man we have had it

Change your perspective, go and elevate it
Learn facts, skip bias, come advocate it
Levitating equally, but let's all stay grounded
Let's show the governments, y'all don't really have us bounded

(Y'all don't really have us bounded)
(Y'all don't really have us bounded)
(Y'all don't really have us bounded)
