Keep Dreaming
The negro speaks of rivers
My soul old as gold and silver
My tribes wrote the ancient scripture
Blue meets white my mom delivered
One Nubian born a sinner
Hands up please don't pull the trigger
A flower blooms in the winter
As the moon howls at the river 
(WOO)
First things first shout out Minneapolis
Play no games like we sucked at practice
Told these niggas where the fuck my taxes
Changed this world like a brand new atlas
Let me tell you tales of a refugee
How oppression followed me
Young Black male and the kid Sudanese
Too many times I done heard freeze
All them red dots on my chest
Got me thinking shit I'm next
Heaven's got a brand new guest
I'm the reason they protest
Left my momma all depressed
Weeping in her Sunday's best
On tv civil unrest
Days go by and still no arrest
Now do you see why they fuck me mad
One of dies we all feel sad
Land of the free but to us Baghdad
Why the fuck would you I stand for that flag
Niggas get the knife and America gets its stripes
Slavery still alive call it twenty five to life
You expect us to survive in a system meant to divide
Black fathers doing time how the hell they supposed to provide
Now call it what it is American Genocide
Well all feel this shit all of us traumatized
That's why we marching
YEA
YEA
That's why we marching
YEA
YEA
We ain't stopping
NAH

We ain't stopping

Black bodies hit the ground for no reason
Gunning us down like its our season
Acting like we committed some treason
Freedom now free at last keep dreaming
WHOOF
Black bodies hit the ground for no reason
WHOOF
Gunning us down like its our season
WHOOF
Acting like we committed some treason
WHOOF
Freedom now free at last keep dreaming
Nigga fuck being peaceful
Y'all killing my people
My hands are Black
Your hands are lethal
Outlawed my skin
Made killing us legal
Took away our rights
Can't vote out the evil
Y'all strategic with oppression got us down voter suppression
Move in silence use the violence and the media as weapon
You surprised by my aggression this results of your deception
Made billions selling millions to departments of correction
RIP Kalif Browder for you we yell even louder
Every march and every sit-in they gonna feel this Black Power
Eat your brunch I hope it's sour can't ignore this you lazy cowards
Bring this to your front doorstep every day and every hour
This Black skin don't come off at night no such thing as a blue life
Take that badge shove it up your ass and tell me if it feel right
This ain't no trend this my real life we ain't doing this for likes
So if you pull up to the protest best be ready for that fight
That's why we marching
YEA
