Don't Let It Get You (feat. Lafayette Brooklyn)
Don't let
Don't let
Don't let
Don't let it creep up on you
Or let it snatch your hunger
And let it drive you crazy till the day you realize
It's too late to take it away
Before it's too late to erase the pain
You best believe
We living out our darker days
Flags getting thrown away
United with the panthers
Win cage through the triple Ks
Confederates cannot stay
No how, no way
Monuments and statues get cast away
Make it black like a runaway
When will he put his gun away
The blood on my ancestors embedded in my DNA
Can't throw back the damn chain
Got to be a better way
Harriet Tubman prolly turning in her grave
Now we in our last phase
Black on black crime rate
Kids being killed in the streets
There's no one else to blame but us
Rosa Parks on the front of that bus
No matter what, she stood her ground and wouldn't give her seat up
You gang banging on your time, that's rough
I know you been through enough
The ups and the downs
Not knowing what we up against
The old tests and the pandemic
Got to take a risk
Die for my people
Die for my multi color skin
Don't let it creep up on you
Or let it snatch your hunger
And let it drive you crazy till the day you realize
It's too late to take it away
Before it's too late to erase the pain
You best believe
They killing my people
How we supposed to be equal
I put my faith in the lord
And pull the lord from beneath you
Since the Rodney King beating
We still mistreated
I can't breathe
How many times we got to repeat it
It's a reason we breathing
A judgement for those proceedings
That's death without reason
Got us crying and pleading
We put our trust in these courts
No support
All the lives we lost
The war they trying to fight
We already fought
We been there and done that
Missed rights wanna come back
The officer give his badge and his gun back
A light skins black rioting and picketing for the innocent
Until the world listening
Police need discipline
They killing off our innocents
Reaping off the benefits
They judge us on our images
They put us in predicaments
Take away our privileges
Control them with the ignorance
I react like a convict and start
Don't let it creep up on you
Or let it snatch your hunger
And let it drive you crazy till the day you realize
It's too late to take it away
Before it's too late to erase the pain
You best believe
Don't let
Don't let
Don't let it creep up on you
Or let it snatch your hunger
And let it drive you crazy till the day you realize
It's too late to take it away
Before it's too late to erase the pain
You best believe
We living out our darker days
Flags getting thrown away
United with the panthers
Win cage through the triple Ks
Confederates cannot stay
No how, no way
Monuments and statues get cast away
Make it black like a runaway
When will he put his gun away
The blood on my ancestors embedded in my DNA
Can't throw back the damn chain
Got to be a better way
Harriet Tubman prolly turning in her grave
Now we in our last phase
