No Justice, No Peace (Requiem) (feat. MicheleQJ)

If you're scared to wear the badge Maybe you shouldn't If you're a coward with a gun Maybe you shouldn't have one If you ain't tryna be a servant Risk it all to protect us all Maybe you shouldn't fuckin be one Maybe no one should be a cop at all Defund abolish Knee to the back Foot on the neck Holding the weight of the world Onto just one man He's just a man Are you even? Knee to the back Foot on the neck Holding the weight of the world Onto just one man Just a man Are you even? How we gettin justice? How we getting peace? Open up your ears and your eyes please No justice no peace that's the simple thing Can you hear the cries and the truth? Try listening No justice no peace that's the simple thing No justice no peace that's the simple thing No justice no peace that's the simple thing No justice no peace 1 + 1 is 2 and that's simple math One followed by another Day after day Week after week Month after month Year after year Doesn't change It's not one time It's not one time It's not one time One time would be enough for your child One time would be enough for your child One time is already too many All I wanna know is How are we gonna avenge Floyd? Justice for Big Floyd Breonna Ahmaud... How we gettin justice? How we getting peace? Open up your ears and your eyes please No justice no peace that's the simple thing Can you hear the cries and the truth? Try listening No justice no peace that's the simple thing No justice no peace that's the simple thing No justice no peace that's the simple thing No justice no peace Can you put one and two together And see how the absence of justice Erodes the necessary conditions For peace for prosperity for happiness for joy for humanity? Can you see the humanity in other people? One time would be enough for your child One time is already too many
