Die Young

I think it’s fucked up that That a damn black man Gotta be scared and prepared to die young Die dumb at the hands of a white man’s gun Why you think I run when I see you come by? Alright, my son, If a cop approach you, this is what you don’t do F*ck that, teach your kids how to love black people And not fear ‘em. We all act equal We eat, we sleep, we bleed We drink, we pee, we need love I just think you need therapy, and you need hugs Drown out hate with love. I hate it, but I gotta see both sides and weigh the cup Conservatives mind-fucked It’s blind luck if they change These government bots, man, they all sound the same (They ain’t never gonna change) Look at the coins that you got Whose name’s on the face? Who built this country? Ain’t none of them safe The thing about history is it tells what we made, and it shows our mistakes We gotta learn from it and turn subjects of pain into peace for the brain We gotta learn from it (gotta learn) Turn subjects of pain (subjects of pain) into peace for the brain People who die young become the fire In the hearts and souls of all the fighters Loved ones, raise your lighters to the sky Come together, and we will know the future’s brighter Came to a red light and sped by I’d rather have nine fines than be the next guy Who died in police custody I can’t study ‘cause a man got put in the dirt for nothing By four on-duty officers, please, I cannot breathe Can you hear my call? I need my mom I’ma sing my song And pray for the days that our freedom comes I can walk in the street, go for a run in the back where I live Get to my crib and not get hit by eight shots in the rib In no damn world should a mamma’s kid die ‘fore the mamma did I get sick as f*ck at the shit I see on the news It sucks Rest in power to George Floyd Breonna Taylor And Ahmaud Arbery And everybody else who’s been taken from this world by evil people In senseless acts of violence And to everybody out there Be safe And I love you
