Power
From what I remember
I pay attention like a listener
Lied to
Diminish by the wicked minister
Enter the heart ice cold
Life of a sinister
400 years plus slaves
We the prisoners
At war
Our people fought for the union
And we saved it
Truth be told
But the world'll never say shit
They hide the fact
Inside a movie when they make it
Boot-licking butt dancing niggas don't make it
Racism equals prejudice
And white power
In order to get rid of us
They got to right ours
Never surrender
Take control we got to fight power
Fire wit fire
Looting and raiding the night hour
I know you can't stand us
Don't shoot hands up
A moment of silence for the souls at rest
Some reparation is satisfication at best
Hands up don't shoot (power)
I can't breathe (white power)
(Black white black power)
Hands up don't shoot (power)
I can't breathe (white white black)
Power
Hands up don't shoot (power)
I can't breathe (power)
Hands up don't shoot (power)
I can't breathe (power)
If a serious situation don't matter
Then open up a city in Nevada
Acting like they own people don't matter
Got us looking a petri dish platter
Why do we even give them control
We want the truth but that stories never told
The only people they want in the whole vicinity
Is the herd immunity
Hurting the community
So how am I supposed to get an education
When I struggle wit the life
Of cultivation
Black man
With no voter registration
Locked up I been forced to fuck the nation
Hands up don't shoot (power)
I can't breathe (white power)
(Black white black power)
Hands up don't shoot (power)
I can't breathe (white white black)
Power
Hands up don't shoot (power)
I can't breath (power)
Hands up don't shoot (power)
I can't breathe (power)
Trying to feed my fam
All of who I am
I just want peace
I can breath
Dont shoot me
Got family to feed
I just want peace yeah
I pay attention like a listener
Lied to
Diminish by the wicked minister
Enter the heart ice cold
