Breaking News
Ooo ya
Ooo ya
Ooo ya
Ooo, oh, oh
I been tryna find a way
I been tryna find it
I been tryna find a way
I been tryna find it
I been tryna find a way
I been tryna find it
I been tryna find another way
To get away
Every time I turn around
I see another face
On the news
Another hashtag
Another video
A black man dead
Shot down on the ground, yeah
Everybody get your cameras out
Yeah, another run in with your
Thin blue line
Everybody grab a picket sign, but
Black lives don't matter
'Til they matter to the
Ones holding the guns
You better run
Lost lives, we cry
Unite
We fight, we rise up
Rise
Black girl, black girl gone again
Ain't gonna get no coverage
No breaking headlines
On the news
Not canvassing the streets for you
Everybody wanna be like you
Everybody wanna do
The things you do
They wanna walk like you
Talk like you
Gotta rock them braids
Them clothes, them shoes
M i s s i n g
Ooo
The world don't stop for
Missing you
So ghetto ghetto
Ghetto, ghetto
Just another baby mama
For a jigaboo
I been tryna find another way
To get away
Good girls, bad girls
Can't escape
Don't even make the news
Until they turn up dead
Nobody bats an eye
Our people hang their heads low
Stay outta trouble
If your eyes ain't blue, 'cause
They're never gonna find
Never gonna find
They're never ever never
No, they're never gonna find you
Outta trouble
If your eyes ain't blue, 'cause
They're never gonna find
Never gonna find
They're never ever never
No, they're never gonna find you
Court cases
One race is guilty by the skin
Of your teeth
Might see another day
Keep the coroner at bay
Block a bullet
But they'll catch you by a rap sheet
Hair triggers on patrol
To catch these niggas
Figures
Got the chalk outlines
In the headlines 'stead of
Breadlines
Redlines
Gang, gang, gang signs
All a part of the game
Got a quote by MLK
Preach peace
Turning murder into holiday
So we can celebrate
How they take our blood
No justice 'cause justice
Ain't justice, it just is
Hanging on
Got it hanging on
Hanging on a pointed hood
Hanging on a pointed hood
Black man be the bigger man
Black man better not take a stand
Unless the anthem plays
Then stand up in place
Don't forget your place
Oh nah
Black man, don't disturb the peace
Black man, don't get no release
Black man can't get no release
Black man
Black man
Black man
Black man
I been tryna find another way
To get away
Feeling like I'm running out
Of places I feel safe
And any minute, I'll be outta time
Everybody grab a picket sign 'cause
All lives don't matter
'Til they matter
To the ones
Holding the guns
You better run
Ooo ya
Ooo ya
Ooo, oh, oh
I been tryna find a way
I been tryna find it
I been tryna find a way
I been tryna find it
I been tryna find a way
I been tryna find it
