Execution
I am not a sin
I just wanna live
I'm fallin' asleep
Please take off your knee
I'm just tryna go to school
I did what you asked me to
Said "It's a toy"
"It's a dollar"
"It's a phone"
"It's a wallet"
I am being so compliant
You are calling me divisive
My hands are tied
You've got me and my life
Why won't you look me in the eye
I can't feel my chest
I can't catch my breath
I'm not runnin' now
Why am I on the ground
Why am I on the
Mama, don't you see
(Hands up, don't shoot)
What America's done to me
(Hands up, don't shoot)
They took my shirt and my shoes
(Hands up, don't shoot)
And they beat 'til I'm black and blue
(Hands up, don't shoot)
And they said stop resisting
(Hands up, don't shoot)
And they said stop resisting
(Hands up, don't shoot)
t shoot)And they said stop resisting
(Hands up, don't shoot)
And they said stop resisting
(Hands up, don't shoot)
And they said stop resisting
(Hands up, don't shoot)
Well I am not resisting
(Hands up, don't shoot)
Well I am not resisting
(Hands up, don't shoot)
I am not a saint
(Hands up, don't shoot)
I am not a martyr
(Hands up, don't shoot)
I am not a villain
(Hands up, don't shoot)
I am just a father
(Hands up, don't shoot)
I just wanna go home
(Hands up, don't shoot)
Wanna see my son
Daughter
Brother
Father
Mother
Sister
(Don't shoot)
Told me "stop resisting"
Executed on the street
By an institution
Disillusion speaks
The worst kinds of truths and
If it were me
It wouldn't be
If it were me
It wouldn't be
If it were me
It'd never be
Authority figures
Line me up
Take aim and fire
We're sittin' ducks
Authority figures
When are you comin' for me
When there's nobody else
For you to decrease
For you to de
I am not a saint
(Hands up, don't shoot)
I am not a martyr
(Hands up, don't shoot)
I am not a villain either
(Hands up, don't shoot)
I'm just a father
(Hands up, don't shoot)
I just wanna go home
(Hands up, don't shoot)
Wanna see my son

They told me "stop resisting"
(Hands up, don't shoot)
I'm bein' compliant
(Hands up, don't shoot)
You can't justify it
(Hands up, don't shoot)
You can't justify it
(Hands up, don't shoot)
You can't justify it
(Hands up, don't shoot)
You can't justify it
