What you think you gon' do

When the trigger's on you brother

How you think you gon' move

When it's bigger than you brother

What you think you gon' do

When the trigger's on you brother

How you think you gon' move

When it's bigger than you

Please don't pick that pocket

There's a face like yours in this locket

And they won't hesitate to kick me out this

Shopping mall 'cause we're their target

And they gon' crawl around this market

To follow y'all 'cause y'all look suspect

That group too big to beg their pardon

And news told me some racist jargon

A black face and black hoodie a political symbol

And the gavel comes down like the crash of a cymbal

Not a thimble, not a pick, but its sewn into the brick

Jack be nimble, Jack be quick at the burning of a stick

And the burning of a bush told me that I was great

But the burning of a cross told me to play it safe

'Cause somehow my actions represent a whole race

It's hard to move different when your face is our face

What you think you gon' do

When the trigger's on you brother

How you think you gon' move

When it's bigger than you brother

What you think you gon' do

When the trigger's on you brother

How you think you gon' move

When it's bigger than you

You see the little black boys, yeah the hood ones

Only 4 finger grabs with the good thumbs

You see the way they ran through, they some hoodlums

Oh nah, not you man, you're a good one

Good one

Wish I saw the joke inside the fulsome

Hard truth, don't spare me a cushion

Brown babes still sucking on the bosom

But you ain't feel none

When you see the Arab man, it's the bombs and flares

When you see the Asian man, its the yellow scare

When you see the Black man, its riots and terror

But when I talk about slavery, you weren't there, how convenient

Quick to point the judges pole, but now you lenient

Your image wasn't up for grabs in this agreement

But somehow your actions represent a whole race

Its hard to move different when your face is their face

What you think you gon' do

When the trigger's on you brother

How you think you gon' move

When it's bigger than you brother

What you think you gon' do

When the trigger's on you brother

How you think you gon' move

When it's bigger than you

When it's bigger than you

When it's bigger than you

When it's bigger than you

When it's bigger than you
