No justice, no peace
No racist police

We don't want your racist war
We don't want your racist war
5, 6, 7, 8, stop the killing stop the hate

Stop the hate

Can evil do bad out of love?
Can good do justice out of hate?
What does controversy create, or destroy? (Or destroy)

Should we hate the evil for lovin'?
Love just for hating?
What's moral in your decision to hate or love
How do you see the world when you're feeling above the clouds
Somehow, you gotta come down from your tower
Your power may feel higher than us mortals here on Earth
But realize it hurts us all the same
When there's a bullet flying through your brain
Or how about, a noose around your neck?
Or maybe a knee pressed against it instead?
"I can't breathe" is screamed, as brothas and sistas lay dead in the streets
History repeats itself once again
No end to men
Getting paid to wear uniform, given raises, no reform
To use weapons to harm innocent black, brown, man, woman, and child
Not equal, my people
Demand true liberty and justice for all
Since that's what we're supposedly founded upon
By father's of murder, genocide, and slavery
This ain't no home of the motha fuckin' bravery
Cowards are fools locking children in cages
Cowards are fools, okay being racist
There's no more patience we've waited too long
For this nation to give back to a paradise lost

We're stuck in the middle
Between God and the Devil
Little hued man, on Earth
All shades of good and bad

Coat your soul with coco husk
Coax your bones, melt the rust
Break the chains of the unjust
Don't be fooled when they say hush
Don't be fooled when they say hush (When they say hush)

Can evil do bad out of love?
Can good do justice out of hate?
What does controversy create, or destroy? (Or destroy)
