Some Justice Opportunity (feat. JustB & Gleeko)

This is the police department
You are violating state-imposed curfew
You must continue to disperse peacefully or
You will be subject to arrest and/or other actions

I'm here protesting for Mike Brown
He was wrongfully killed
There is a lot of unity going on that they're not broadcasting
It's not a race thing

I never thought I'd get political
But life and my city right now is just so critical
Man, it's a war zone in my backyard
Why gettin' justice gotta be this hard

Are we the lesson that they care about, tell you that
That's why the police always use their clout, they do
My grandma said don't fear another man, I never will
But they will shoot with nothing in my hand, bow, bow

See the media show the bad part
And they're blocking out the good that's the sad part
Man, I can tell you this: we're fed up
But if no one ever told you keep your halo

I hope you understand
Take me to your leader
I hope you understand
Take me to your leader
I hope you understand
Take me to your leader
You finally should
Take me to your leader at once

Brothers and sisters
Brothers and sisters
Brothers and sisters
I guess you finally heard
Yeah, I'm just a youth in this society
But since my skin dark and thug by notoriety, and treated justifiably
Turn into propriety, we act mortifially
Man, tell me that ain't irony

So many accusations because of our melonation
The complications we face and the verdicts are made by racists
I'm just a prodigal my nation and
because of my pigmentation I'm bound to live life with adaptation

To allegations because what you see is on the surface
Try to make me feel as if my skin was just a burden
I'm the judge and the jury, yeah I got a verdict
Justice is justice and in the end I'm still a person

I hope you understand
Take me to your leader
I hope you understand
Take me to your leader
I hope you understand
Take me to your leader
You finally should
Take me to your leader, at once

Brothers and sisters
Brothers and sisters
Brothers and sisters
I guess you finally heard

Kids were on our front line
Shot 'em in the head dead
The media ain't been showing all the stuff that goes down here
I wanna see love in America
I wanna see togetherness in America

We're not gonna stand for it
They can kill us all
Killed him dead, cold blood in the head
Take me
I need answers
Tonight!
It's about some justice

My whole thing is that if it was me and you
And they had two eyewitnesses
Cause both of those eyewitnesses described the same thing
They said he gunned that man down and shot him

I don't see white boys, you know, laying on the curb
You know, police messing with them, pulling them over for no reason
If they do, it's not getting broadcast, but I see that with black folks every day
And I see them get shot down every
I'm not saying it's not happening to white people
But if it is, we don't see it
I don't see it

Ten-hut!
