I Dare Ya

Marching in the street don't it get cha Don't it get cha
Getting some relief paint a picture Paint a picture
Coming for the beef bring the liquor Bring the liquor
Drunken from the heat shoe fit ya
It's the facts from the times that were in
Don't turn your back 7 shots cause ya skin
Don't matter if you sleep you can get that heat too (That heat too)
They breaking down your door then they try and blame you (Blame You)
What's the deal with this none sense Hooo
It don't sit right on my Conscience Hooo
Even if I go light while I'm jogging
Hooo
They still coming straight for my noggin
They throw you in the dirt then complain that you dirty
You tell 'em that you hurt they say James you ain't worthy
Didn't know I needed status just to get proper care
They treat it like a game it don't matter if it's fair
Strongest people that I know got black skin
And I'm not trying to offend none of the white friends
I promise if you white and you and I are cool
Just know that this song ain't about you
This for the one who straight ignore facts
Only post about their record if they black
But if they have white skin
Best believe they try their best to whiteout their sins
I dare ya

I dare you to make a change
I dare you to make a change
I dare you to make a change
I dare you to make a change
And see things another way
And see things another way yeah
I dare you to make a change
I dare you to make a change
I dare you to make a change
I dare you to make a change
And see things another way

Don't even ask me to see from your point of view
You point of view been killing mine four hundred years
Don't even try to complain about your statues
On life you elevate the evilest of men
This ain't debatable you either with or against
Ain't nothing neutral cause the atmosphere is real intense
40 archer and a mule I need it recompensed
Set a date on when you gonna get that thang dispensed
Social justice tackles more than just getting shot
Redlining had my people trapped on the block
And oh no this ain't 200 years ago
My grandma lived through it man I promise you
Put crack in the hood and send our men to jail
Opioid addiction getting help not the cell
And if you giving birth as a black queen and having complications
They real slow to intervene
I'll never beg anyone to understand the black life
It's mounted on the wall in 4K in plain sight
It's comfortable for you to live in your privilege
Your god is America your made in it's image
You say this country is a Christian nation
You say that because of the foundation
Slavery Jim Crow Mass Incarceration
Cause the heart of this nation has never had relation
With Christ

I dare you to make a change
I dare you to make a change
I dare you to make a change
I dare you to make a change
And see things another way
And see things another way yeah
I dare you to make a change
I dare you to make a change
I dare you to make a change
I dare you to make a change
And see things another way
And see things another way yeah
