Y'all Be Like

lyrics

Yo
Real talk
Shit is wild out there
The whole fucking country's on fire
Beasts everywhere

This that cinch in time we're going to spit that shine
I've got fury in my eyes fuck your thin blue line
You're not moving me my people want equity and unity
You want civilians under heal and qualified immunity
Where opportunities to terrorize community
And fluidly murder men of color like with impunity
I see the images they're coming much faster
Mic is the pulpit I'm preaching it like a pastor
You're barely actors let's face off like Castor
The evolution of the Deep South slave catchers
But try to front like race ain't a factor
That's why we be Ronins no Gods no masters

Watch how we spark the movement like a pack of matches
As soon as my rap dispatches across the fucking atlas
The way the cops are acting on the streets is something tragic
Busting in doors waging wars reeking havoc
Disrespect and under-serve keep the poor from being heard
With our taxes that's absurd when the homeless on the curb
The simple fact is it's all for the Establishment
The system is tied up in a knot until we unravel it
I'm stepping through rubber bullets and tear gas
Step to me and see how long your riot gear lasts
The march toward justice is moving slow
When mass incarceration is the new Jim Crow

We're too busy trying to preach instead of trying to teach it
Remain speechless commit to the action and reach it
Bigotry's blindness why can't the whole world see it
Police hate the deepest politicians keeping their secrets
My mind struggle intensifying my pen's hustle
My skin's perception to society's for causing trouble
Senseless killings display a lack of comprehension
No contingency plan just leads to more apprehension
I wanna take the pain away to ensure
That my legacy will never see a day of being a slave
And then elevate the state of being brave
Stay on the right path and truly never cave
The time's shorter building walls to patrol borders
Mental chemistry holy water to these coke snorters
And I'm feeling it's demeaning to the core I'm screaming
Fuck due process we need to do more
