I Need Answers

The images from this weekend's

Violence in the streets

Stores being looted and riot police

With dogs barking and charging protesters

It all started with the fatal shooting

By police of an unarmed black teenager

The fbi has now opened an investigate of the shooting

The shooting of eighteen year old micheal brown

Has opened a wound in the community

Neva thought today God would take my friend

But I'm dealing with it

The police is at it again

And they killing the innocent

They consider us gangsters

If we don't walk around acting like brothers is feminine

Y'all run off adrenaline

How ya obey the law by harassing a citizen?

How we supposed to feel safe if ya always act scared of us?

Somebody must have told ya a lie

Not surprised that they calling us animals

Living in poverty, tryna survive

They say don't be mad at the cops

96 Percent killing is black on black crime

They don't want us to be outraged

But how we eva gon' change if we don't even try

Why, do they kill us when they feel uncomfortable?

This shit is dysfunctional

We lost one of my homies about a month ago

Why, do we always feel like a target?

I know it's because of my skin, what would ya call it?

I need answers man

Please tell me something

How out of the blue, the one in the black

Get shot down fo nothing

I just don't know, it feel like some nonsense

Feel like some bullshit

Please tell me something

I need answers man

All of the sudden, boys in the blue shoot boys who are black

Shoot them fo nothing

Where they do that at?

I just don't know it feel like some nonsense

Feel like some bullshit

Please tell me something

I need answers man

It's no science to it

They treat us bad cuz they see how we living

Tell us take what was given

The government been

Against us since the very beginning

What if we took our guns off us and put em on y'all

And then asked God fo forgiveness

Trying to get thru to the public

Marching and screaming fo justice

Only get us pushed to religion

Hands up, don't shoot!

We beg to be humans, we must got a snake involved

If martial law can happen any minute

Then what's an unpaid suspension if ya break the law?

Killin' us isn't the answer

Establish facts befo the propaganda

Look, these regular people with regular lives

Badges should come with a body camera

Why erry chance they get

Why, do they kill us when they feel uncomfortable?

This shit is dysfunctional

We lost one of my homies about a month ago

I know it's because of my skin, what would ya call it?

I need answers man

I need answers man

I need answers man

We need, answers

What now, fight back, bust back till they scared of that

Cuz willie lynch wrote a letter on controllin black people

And we still ain't repent from that

Might as well pull out the rope

I'm not pointin no fingers, I'm blamin us both

It's obvious we can stand fo the right things

But media plays a problem with the things they promote

Fightin in a lose lose battle, tryin' to raise peace

But it don't come natural

Walkin in the streets, holdin up signs

And they throwin tear gas at us like the shit don't matter

It was a peaceful protest befo looters

We the violent ones, but they the shooters

Can't be teachin these kids ya gon' be

Mistreated by the police fo bein a human

I mean what kind of future is that?

What it take to get back? I'm a man, I know betta

Maybe me and my folks should vote betta

Or maybe I should get out this country

Cuz they aren't gon' eva respect us

Until we start fuckin up all of their money

But until then, pump yo fists if ya still in

Cuz we will win, time to get at it

Why, do they kill us when they feel uncomfortable?

This shit is dysfunctional
