Am I Next
Am I next, when I, leave this crib
Am I next, when I, hop in this whip
Am I next, when I, push the start button
Step on the gas, and drive down the Ave
Am I next, when I, tell this teller thanks
Whenever, I leave out this bank
Am I next, from grocery shopping at Whole Foods
After giving the white man all my food
Am I next, when I'm, pumping this gas
Am I next, if I'm mad and I tell you to kiss my ass
Am I next, if I leave out my job last
Am I next, if I was just attending class
Am I next, when I fly into LAX
Or any airport, in the US
Am I next, when I get of this bus, or this train
I got my hoodie on trying to avoid rain
Am I next, when I, leave this studio
It's 4am, and I'm solo
Lord knows no matter where I go
In the back of mind I'm praying for a hero
If po-po roll up, and I'm the on floor
I don't want to be on the next video
There's enough of us, going viral
Am I next, to be forced, to fight back, cap back
At the whole squad, the entire force
And if I make it out alive, how do I stay alive
When I'm hunted like a fugitive, guilty as charge
No court, no lawyer, no judge, no jury
The bulletin reads, just execute him
No self-defense, don't apply to them
Black men, black boys and girls, black women
My African Kings and Queens, who slaved
To build up a country they can't even live in
Changing their name, bleaching their skin
Want to be white just to try to fit in
Or born mixed, walking around like its a trick
When automatically labeled this
Black menace to society, here's the reality
A racist, is a racist
And hate, yup, is simply hate
Man, I'm so frustrated
I'm trying keep my emotions in check
Cause this flow, is not about a check
It's spiritual warfare, when you don't live fair
Or all you feel everyday is fear
Father say he tired, son say dad I'm scared
It makes me vex
Am I next!
Am I next!
Am I next!
Am I next!
Am I next!
Am I next!
Am I next, when I, hop in this whip
Am I next, when I, push the start button
Step on the gas, and drive down the Ave
Am I next, when I, tell this teller thanks
Whenever, I leave out this bank
Am I next, from grocery shopping at Whole Foods
After giving the white man all my food
Am I next, when I'm, pumping this gas
Am I next, if I'm mad and I tell you to kiss my ass
Am I next, if I leave out my job last
Am I next, if I was just attending class
Am I next, when I fly into LAX
Or any airport, in the US
Am I next, when I get of this bus, or this train
I got my hoodie on trying to avoid rain
Am I next, when I, leave this studio
It's 4am, and I'm solo
Lord knows no matter where I go
In the back of mind I'm praying for a hero

Am I next, to be forced, to fight back, cap back

Am I next!
Am I next!
Am I next!
Am I next!
