NO HOSTAGES
What are we thinking 'bout now? I can't believe how our
People could get 25 years but free them in hours
I wasn't worried 'til I came across the news
A black father was murdered by some killers dressed in blue
So why the fuck should I care now? It's never been fair how
Can't even the playing field if we can't enter the fairgrounds
So let me explain how it's a burden to explain how
You robbin' my people but then you ask us to pay now
You might be at home when they kill you
You might be alone when they kill you
Driving 'round town with a broken tail light
With your kid in the back, now he's scarred for life
(Oh-oh-oh-oh) yeah (oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Can you feel me now?
'Cause they' takinh no
Taking no hostages
Hey
Taking no hostages
They kick in your door and when you ask for a warrant
They be like, "We ask the questions" then tell you, "Get on the floor"
Feel like they do this for sport but they the ones with home court
Advantage, could take a shot but it'll always fall short
I should not be surprised when most of my time spent
Is with other felons wondering when we'll do time next
We been on a diet, no American pie shit
Ain't got time to live it 'cause we too busy not dying
You might be at home when they kill you
You might be alone when they kill you
Unarmed, handcuffed, kneeling down on your knees
And you're staring down the barrel of an M60
Guns don't kill people, people kill people
Guns don't kill people, cops kill people
Guns don't kill people, people kill people
Guns don't kill people, cops are killers
Guns don't kill people, people kill people
Guns don't kill people, cops kill people
Guns don't kill people, people kill people
Guns don't kill people, cops are killers
You might be at home when they kill you
You might be alone when they kill you
Pulling out your wallet tryna grab your ID
Or on the ground saying, "Officer, I can't breathe"
(Oh-oh-oh-oh) just like they be (oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Can you feel me now?
'Cause they're taking no
Taking no hostages
People could get 25 years but free them in hours
I wasn't worried 'til I came across the news
A black father was murdered by some killers dressed in blue
So why the fuck should I care now? It's never been fair how
Can't even the playing field if we can't enter the fairgrounds
So let me explain how it's a burden to explain how
You robbin' my people but then you ask us to pay now
You might be at home when they kill you
You might be alone when they kill you
Driving 'round town with a broken tail light
With your kid in the back, now he's scarred for life
(Oh-oh-oh-oh) yeah (oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
