Vultures
I got vultures
I got hawks
Soaring over me
As I walk
Trace my body with that chalk
Some how some way
It's my fault
I got vultures (yea)
I got hawks (i got em)
Soaring over me (me)
As I walk (i walk)
Trace my body (trace it) with that chalk (ye yea)
Some how some way (way)
It's my fault (it is)
Officer (officer) please don't shoot (don't shoot)
I am not armed and But you still will shoot (you wil)
Excessive force (yea) its kinda brute (it is)
What they used to (yea)It's in ya nature to
Gun down a black man (ye yea) Bitch behind a badge
I don't understand (i don't)
Tell me what you really fear (what)
My people broken down every year (ye yea)
Everyday a mom shed tear (they do)
They want us to disappear
Guess what we still here
going head to head we will not veer (na ah)
I got vultures (yea)
I got hawks (i got em)
Soaring over me (me)
As I walk (i walk)
Trace my body (trace it) with that chalk (ye yea)
Some how some way (way)
It's my fault (it is)
I got vultures (i got vultures)
I got hawks (i got hawks)
Soaring over me trying the knock me off (yea)
They wanna see me dead (see me dead)
Or see me read (yea)
With a sentence (yea) laying on a bed
In a jail cell (jail cell) That's the life (thats the life)
They won't for me (yea) and it ain't right (na naw)
I'm just trying the win (yea)
But holding me down seems like a trend
Everybody trying the jump on (why)and join in (ye yea)
I got vultures (yea)
I got hawks (i got em)
Soaring over me (me)
As I walk (i walk)
Trace my body (trace it) with that chalk (ye yea)
Some how some way (way)
It's my fault (it is)
Some how some way (way) it's my fault (my fault)
I'm just trying the pray (trying) and not take a loss (i am)
But they want me down (they do)and counted out (out)
And they don't even know what I'm about
Perseverance take the righteous route (yea)
I just wanna get the vices out (ye yea)
Mind my business but the lights is out (they are)
Hand cuff me and hold me down
Ain't did nothing wrong (nothing strong)
Accept be black and be strong (be strong)
I guess they want me gone (me gone)
Because the color of my skin tone (skin tone)
I got vultures (yea)
I got hawks (i got em)
Soaring over me (me)
As I walk (i walk)
Trace my body (trace it) with that chalk (ye yea)
Some how some way (way)
It's my fault (it is)
