Flipped

So I turn on the News
And I see the world changing
And I see that it's not just a wake-up call
But it's just showing that the country is in such toil
That the pain of many are rising up
And the offenses are getting heavier

I flipped the switch
The folks that were hiding in silence were wanting me lynched
I get their intentions
It's all in their mentions
They hash it up and state the LORD is their witness
They're just like the lotto
Show up in numbers at random
While everybody thought they were switching
Popping like bottles at darker melanin
If I say something it gets hot in the kitchen
I may be Christian
You probably think I get a check
Don't suppose to mention this mess
How would you feel if I took a position of power
Turn and put my knee in your neck
I ain't got no problem with color
All of us huddle in prayer
You may be next
Serpents I trot
You say the rest
I believe God
Too big to flex
Just don't run up
I will put equal on negatives
I've got two hands that are sedatives
Set the drum beat to repetitive
Threat at the bottom - an ant
Don't want you mimicking lettuce
Nah
I don't get off on your fetish
Bloodstains and stripes are embedded
We lost a lot in our heritages
You brought the war on our melanin
I won't back down you just said it

See you're quick to cut
But if you were us
Would you stand up and speak or just lay there
Oh
You've never been there
Really don't matter
Stop trying to flatter us
You need to saddle up
See your way out of a bad situation
Mess up the country and they want to date you
I get the munchies and they want to hate me
Do what you did they're going to eliminate me
Quick to cut
But if you were us
Would you stand up and speak or just lay there
Oh
You've never been there
Really don't matter
Stop trying to flatter us
You need to saddle up
See your way out of a bad situation
Mess up the country and they want to date you
I get the munchies and they want to hate me
Do what you did they're going to eliminate me

Quick to cut
But if you were us
Would you stand up and speak or just lay there
Oh
You've never been there
Really don't matter
Stop trying to flatter us
You need to saddle up
See your way out of a bad situation
Mess up the country and they want to date you
I get the munchies and they want to hate me
Do what you did they're going to eliminate me
(Instrumental)
