Yeah yeah yeah
Mmm (yeah yeah)
Mmm
Ooh (mmm)
Oh oh oh oh (mmm)
Yeah
Talkin' is cheap
Marchin' the street
All my people been starvin' for something to eat
More than we honor your speech
We brought kings
And my skin is as dark as can be
Black lives matter use respect when talkin' to me
I wanna live in a world, safe environment for boys and our girls
Let's inspire them to get what they earn
We're expirin', we dying and you can't manifest of my earn
Gunist and weed scream floodin' the streets
Had enough of defeat from another police
Officer they offin' us with no punishment
The government will turn against you
Speak the truth before they cough and get you
I started coughin', I forgot the tissue
I'm growing sick of the madness and I'm sick of the badges
Overwatch me
Prepare to stop me
The hate you give little infants fucks everybody (fucks everybody)
You got a hold on me
Why are holding me?
Yeah
Let me go! Let me go!
You gotta hold on me
Why are you holding me?
Yeah
Let me go! Let me go!
Let me go (why are you holding me?)
Yeah
Let me go let me go (you got a hold on me)
Why are you holdin me?
Yeah
Let me go, let me go, let me go
I want freedom
Community with leadership
We need it
I aint really seen too much change
I guess with faith, you believe without seein'
This problem needs more than a deacon
Or a tour of a regions, museum downtown
White supremacy I bow down
Never
They offending me with how they tell us
We aint shit
Got some money but we ain't rich
Never settle and rich
And melanin niggas
Bad to the skeleton never been
More focus with sharin' in
Formation line up in formation
Look how they handle us
But they used to shackle us, success is immaculate
We proud to me black again!
Liberation imagine it
Wealth establish it
Idea pediment
Food for thought in cabinet
Cherish everybody
The hate you give little infants fucks everybody
Yeah
You gotta hold on me
Why are you holdin me?
Yeah
Let me go! Let me go!
You gotta hold on me
Why are you holdin me?
Yeah
Let me go! Let me go! Let me go
Why are you holdin me?
Let me go, let me go
Yeah
You gotta hold on me
Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why?
Let me go! Let me go! Let me go
Let me go
Ahh
Mmm, let me go
Let me go
Let me go
Let me go
Mmm
