lyrics

Verse 1
Now a days
There is no guarantee I’ll make it home
Cause The value of my life is slim to none
The color of my skin
It scares the men
Who wear a badge
And they’ll gun me down
If they feel I’m a threat
Now a days
The content of my character can’t speak
Before they spill my blood out in the streets
And as it flows they make me into
What they’re taught to think
That I’m a thug and drug dealing machine


Verse 2
Now a days
When we protest the injustice we live
Somehow we get the blame for what they did
They gentrify our hoods
And make them good then kick us out
And wonder why we kick and scream and shout
Why so entitled
Does your privilege bring you any shame
We work twice as hard and more to have a say
And surely as the sun shines down
On beautiful black skin
No we will not back down and we will win


Vamp
And I believe that only we can save us
So I’m counting on you
To love yourself, your children, and your neighbor
And know that God will always bring us through
They want to reduce us to a Black man and woman
But they gotta understand we’re human
And this world is ours just like it’s yours
And we won’t be ignore
