Jumped

Walk up in the club, target on my back
It's not red or white, it's like me: blue and black
Copper raining down on me, there's a price on my head
It seems like my date of birth will be the cause of my death

Look at my birth certificate and see it as hit order
The way that you were raised has made your sight distorted
I am so tired of living in fear
I duck in the shadows where I must adhere

Conservatives say that I'm overdramatic
Don't press an issue, boy, if you've never had it
Calling my brothers and my allies some thugs
When all we're trying to do is just simply stand up

We're tired of stepping out the door, fearing we'll get pulled over
Not knowing what for and get thrown to the floor
It's so ridiculous I have to tell my fam and friends
If they experience this then they better remember this

Everybody put your hands in the air
Breathe in, we're getting jumped, jumped
Everybody put your hands in the air
Breathe in, we're getting jumped, jumped
Everybody put your hands in the air
Don't show them that you're scared
Just say a little prayer
Everybody put your hands in the air
We're getting jumped, jumped, jumped, jumped

African American but still American as an Aryan
I used to be proud to be an American
But now this shit's getting kinda embarrassing
I'm feeling callous like I'm keratin
I'm know I'm right, I'm not being arrogant

My mother told me nothing in life's free
Especially not America and not the ebony
There's reason why our flag is red, white, and blue
The red is the blood that they drain out of you

White is the race that supresses and calls us coons
And the blue are the boys that'll kill me before I'm 22
There's no reason to be scared, boy
You're paranoid, boy
Must be tough being in cuffs but you must have done something wrong, boy

Whites deny the past, it's a race against time
They don't want to acknowledge the U.S. history of crimes
Reagan tried to destroy us but you still ignore it
Funding contras pushing coca on the streets, oh Lordy

Then condemn us for it, imprison us for it
That's no conspiracy, that's reality
Urban life's exactly what it's cracked up to be
Urban life's exactly what it's cracked up to be

They condemn us for it, imprison us for it
That's no conspiracy, that's reality
Urban life's exactly what it's cracked up to be
Urban life's exactly what it's cracked up to be

Everybody put your hands in the air
Breathe in, we're getting jumped, jumped
Everybody put your hands in the air
Breathe in, we're getting jumped, jumped
Everybody put your hands in the air
Don't show them that you're scared
Just say a little prayer
Everybody put your hands in the air
We're getting jumped, jumped, jumped, jumped

Jump, jump, jump
Jump for me, jump for me
Jump, jump, jump
Jump for me, jump for me
Jump, jump, jump, jump
Jump for me, jump for me
