'Til Proven Guilty
Why we still fighting for some equality
Why you treat our culture like commodity
Tell me where the fuck is our five percent
Blaming it on the sins that we repent
What you expect we just products of our environment
Looked down upon no matter the neighbourhood we residing in
The weight is on our shoulders can't you hear a boy choke
Tread careful cause your actions you can't revoke
How they still walking the streets I swear that shit is a joke
And you can quote me on it
Although I'm quite reserved politically
I cannot say this shit doesn't get to me
Why you staring at a nigga like I carry a stick with me
I've never been a thug I will not fake it
I won't resort to crime if I don't make it
Want equal opportunities for my bro's so we can take it
And that ain't too much to ask really
Been here for the same time
Done put in the same grind
Someone please explain why this shit has gotta take time, man
And riots reflect impatience that surrounds our nation
I don't condone it but I can sympathise
When the doors are closing in on you from all different sides
Then tell me what the fuck are we supposed to do with our lives
Acceptance not an option no more
If you don't want us inside then why you holding the door
And I say niggas proudly cause all of my niggas will ride
I know that word is frowned upon please put your difference aside
I know that black is excellent and man I say with it pride
I really say it with pride
And I'm yelling free my people inside
I don't wanna see one of my dargs fall victim to the
I don't wanna see one of my dargs fall victim to the
I don't wanna see one of my brothers fall victim to the
I don't wanna see one of my brothers fall victim to the
Why you treat our culture like commodity
Tell me where the fuck is our five percent
Blaming it on the sins that we repent
What you expect we just products of our environment
Looked down upon no matter the neighbourhood we residing in
The weight is on our shoulders can't you hear a boy choke
Tread careful cause your actions you can't revoke
How they still walking the streets I swear that shit is a joke
And you can quote me on it
Although I'm quite reserved politically
I cannot say this shit doesn't get to me
Why you staring at a nigga like I carry a stick with me
I've never been a thug I will not fake it
I won't resort to crime if I don't make it

I don't wanna see one of my dargs fall victim to the
I don't wanna see one of my brothers fall victim to the
I don't wanna see one of my brothers fall victim to the
