Sad & Free

Let me tell you what it means to me
Gotta tell you what this means to me
Let me tell you what it means to me
Gotta tell you what this means to me
Let me tell you what it means to me
Gotta tell you what this means to me
Let me tell you what it means to me
Gotta tell you what this means to me

Got pulled over today
Red and blue lights flashing I just pray I make it home safe
Don't care that Im a lady
He don't care I got this baby in the backseat
Hands trembling
Know I gotta watch what I say
Not just what I say but how I say it
Don't even matter
He gon flip the script and play it how he wanna play it
Debating, should reach into this glove compartment or not
I don't know, pigs at my window waiting for they shot
He just gotta say he thought he saw a glock
Pop pop
There goes another one
Another son, another daughter
Another wife, another father
Another sister or her brother
Phone calls to weeping mothers
They don't care that people love us
Don't care if we got our hands up
Badge and gun got yall thinking yall above us
Fuck us
See it in ya eyes you saying fuck us
Aint have that gun and badge just know I'd show what the fucks up

Let me tell you what it means to me
Gotta tell you what this means to me
Let me tell you what it means to me
Gotta tell you what this means to me
Let me tell you what it means to me
Gotta tell you what this means to me
Let me tell you what it means to me
Gotta tell you what this means to me

I'm swerving in these streets yelling fuck the police
'Cause the police aint never gave a fuck about me
Raising all my kids to never be 3 things
A liar, a cheater and the punk ass police
I put that on me
We been at war too long to ever make peace
Police out here killing all my family
I aint a threat to you, you a threat to me
Say one word that you dont like and take my breath from me
Pop pop
There goes another one
Another son, another daughter
Another wife, another father
Another sister or her brother
Phone calls to weeping mothers
They don't care that people love us
Don't care if we got our hands up
Badge and gun got yall thinking yall above us
Fuck us
See it in ya eyes you saying fuck us
Aint have that gun and badge just know I'd show what the fucks up

Let me tell you what it means to me
Gotta tell you what this means to me
Let me tell you what it means to me
Gotta tell you what this means to me
Let me tell you what it means to me
Gotta tell you what this means to me
Let me tell you what it means to me
Gotta tell you what this means to me

And for the people out there saying I shouldn't say what I say
If you had the choice, would you be black today?
That means going in a store and getting harassed til you pay
Not using a blinker could cost yo life today
Would you really choose to be black today?
Aint talking rappers athletes you see on TV
Not resisting arrest, still get a knee in ya neck
Dieing on pavement yelling I can't breathe
Keep our foot on they necks
Demand our respect
Understand, you or me could be next
Its a lot of apologies
All talk with no action
We want convictions
Or yall gon feel this friction
Stay dangerous, that's always been the mission
Sad and Free
Power in my skin so they mad at me
This deeper than the culture
Being black is being sad N free

Gotta tell you what this means to me
Being me is being sad and free
Gotta tell you what this means to me
Being me is being sad and free
Gotta tell you what it means to me
Being me is being sad and free
Gotta tell you what it means to me
Being me is being sad and free
