No Sleep

No justice? No peace!
No justice? No peace!
No justice? No peace!
No justice? No peace!
No justice? No peace!
No justice? No peace!
No justice? No peace!
No justice? No peace!
I said, no justice? No peace!
No justice? No peace!
No justice? No peace!
No justice? No peace!

Quick, fast
Camera, flash
Show ya' ass
Show ya' badge
Lose your job
Run it back
Quick, fast
Camera flash
Show ya' ass
Show ya' badge
Lose your job
I'm with that

Don't sleep
We seen the footage of police
Killing our brothers in broad day
Choking us out till we don't breathe
And I can't, lord help my soul
My stance won't change their goal
If my life's not worth their time
Then these chants gon' kill they vibe

I swear it on everything
On life and our parents dreams
No more sitting mezzanine
We to the floor with it, take to the streets
If it's still in quotes when they're "keeping the peace"
Evidence stacking up high as the peaks
Of Everest, never been scared of a beat
Never been wary of scaring you
Ain't no comparison you should look scary to me
I don't got a badge or a gun or a stash of the funds I just got myself (Facts)
Still I'm a passionate son of the work being done to defund your wealth
Okay look, call it prophetic
As long as I'm living you know I'mma get it
Fought for them cameras, y'all made us regret it
So now it's your pockets, we shredding the lettuce
We shredding it

Quick, fast
Camera, flash
Show ya' ass
Show ya' badge
Lose your job
Run it back
Quick, fast
Camera flash
Show ya' ass
Show ya' badge
Lose your job
I'm with that

(No justice) No peace!
We know the story of police
Breaking and entering through the night
And murdering sisters just tryna sleep
So we can't, lord help our souls
Our stance won't change their goals
If our lives not worth their time
Then our chants won't change their mind

I said
Cash, cash, cash, cash
I don't wanna hear no fucking politics
Cash, cash, cash, cash
Lemme see your motherfucking wallet pig
Cash, cash, cash, cash
I don't wanna hear no fucking politics
No, sir! Fuck all that, ya digg

It's a disease
We've seen 'em kill us
They're villains they smile while they're flashing their piece
Then leave us deceased, just look at Usaamah Rahim
The same could've happened to me
Or even my nephew I look in his eyes
And I'm heated the future ain't all it could be
I don't see nothing up under that badge
It's racism built in the blue that you bleed, you see
We been known the block was hot
For each throat a poplar popped, we don't rock with ops
These days it's drop or flock
See this voice is all we got, they can't rock the plot
Our timing is critical
Criminal justice ain't just it's just criminal
This ain't a story, no this ain't a miracle
Hope you're recording, show it's empirical
Showing it

Quick, fast
Camera, flash
Show ya' ass
Show ya' badge
Lose your job
Run it back
Quick, fast
Camera flash
Show ya' ass
Show ya' badge
Lose your job
I'm with that

Don't sleep, we seen the footage of police
Murdering niggas in broad day
They choking us out till we can't breathe
And I can't, lord help my soul
My stance won't change their goal
No
Fuck... GO

Time racing fast
Pacing, crash
Blatant
Deprivation
Time racing fast
Pacing, crash
Blatant
Deprivation
Time racing fast
Pacing, crash
Blatant
Deprivation
Time racing fast
Pacing, crash
Blatant
Deprivation

Lay low, stay cold with the face froze, nigga stay woke
Brave souls still crash in the field
When you pass it don't feel it'll last anymore
Don't hold your breath, cherish it 'cause you can't brandish it with you
And nigga they know
Born inconspicuous
Surreptitiousness no issue but don't come around if you fold quick
Boldness necessary while you plotting on toting them poles, sticks
Tools, blicks, risk
Skip foolishness
Let us pray while I end up in a cell or in the grave
Falling victim to the system, ain't no saviors, stay awake
Wait!
