[DJ Khaled]

Our Lord, grant us good in this world

And good in the life, to come keep us safe from the torment of the fire

As we keep our hands up high and scream for justice

Ferguson, rest in peace Mike Brown

And all the young soldiers out there

God help us

[TGT]

Time to take a stand and save our future

Like we all got shot, we all got shot

Throwing up our hands don't let them shoot us

Cause we all we got, we all we got

God ain't put us on the Earth to get murdered, it's murder

God ain't put us on the Earth to get murdered, it's murder

Don't point your weapons at me

[Game]

Seen the pictures, feel the pain, scandalous how they murder son

Tired of them killing us, I'm on my way to Ferguson

Talked to TIP, I talked to Diddy, them my brothers walking with me

Mothers crying: Stop the riots, we ain't got to chalk the city

I seen Cole out there, felt I should go out there

They left that boy for hours in the cold out there

They killin' teens, they killin' dreams (It's murder)

[Diddy]

Yo, come on we gotta stick together, we all we got

Police taking shots and I ain't talkin' bout Ciroc

I'm talking bout Emmett Till, I'm talking bout Ezell Ford

I'm talking bout Sean Bell, they never go to jail for

Trayvon over Skittles, Mike Brown Cigarillos

History keeps repeating itself, like a Biggie instrumental

America's a glass house and my revenge is mental

Rather use my brain than throw a cocktail through a window

[Rick Ross]

I got the keys to the city still we left in the cold

Hands in the sky, still was left in the road

Ribbon in the sky, Michael Brown, another soul

Stole by the system, black men we pay the toll

The price is your life, Uncle Sam want a slice

Black dress code now we looting in the night

Now we throwing Molotovs in this holocaust

And I know they hate to hear me screaming: I'm a Boss!

[TGT]

Time to take a stand and save our future

Like we all got shot, we all got shot

Throwing up our hands don't let them shoot us

Cause we all we got, we all we got

God ain't put us on the Earth to get murdered, it's murder

God ain't put us on the Earth to get murdered, it's murder

Don't point your weapons at me

[2 Chainz]

Tired of the okie-dokie, lying you Pinocchio

Driving while black, tell me, where am I supposed to go?

Gun shots hit the car, now I got the holy ghost

If excessive force was a drug, then they overdosed

Got us tryna protest, it's a slow process

Heard it's a lotta rotten eggs in the crow's nest

People praying on they feet, police holding on they heat

Turned on the news and seen a tank rolling down the street

[Fabolous]

Yeah, I seen a lot of ice water tossed and I know it's for a cause

My only question is, what we doing for the loss

Of Mike Brown?

Cause right now, I challenge you to use your talents to

Speak up, and don't you ever let em silence you

Cause action speaks louder than words, that's what I heard

Shot down with his hands up, that's what occurred

Man that sound absurd

Matter fact to me that sound like murder

We want justice

[Yo Gotti]

Ay yo Game, I had a crib out there

I used to live out there

So I know how niggas feel out there

People stressing, protesting, unity is a blessing

So it's time we come together

Use our voice as a weapon

I am Michael Brown, cause I stand for what he stand for

News say we're looting

Paint pictures like we some animals

On my NWA CMG

Hollin': Rest in peace Eazy and fuck the police

[Wale]

Heard another brother slain up in St. Louis

Sure the mother feel the pain, but what you famous doing

I’m sure the general population trying to be more active

But when the light finally catches you, you're ice challenged

Okay, and I support the ALS just like the rest of them

But you have yet to pay your debt

So you just flexing then

Cause everybody care for a minute, then stop

People only there for a minute, then stop

And what's the point of giving if you ain't giving your all

We never getting ahead, might as well give up your heart

[TGT & Swizz Beatz]

Where does it end?

I got my hands up, what else am I supposed to do?

(Rest in peace to Mike Brown)

Where does it end?

(And all the other fallen soldiers)

Tell me, where's the love for everything we're going through?

(That will not be on the news or televised, ah)

Mercy, mercy, mercy, mercy me

Hope that God can save us

Mercy, mercy, mercy, mercy me

(As we lead in peace)

[Swizz Beatz]

Martin Luther King had a dream

But they ain't respecting Jesse up out here

And they don't really respect Obama out here

Lights out, go dark - it's like a nightmare

How the fuck you play the game, but they ain't playing fair

It's going down, Armageddon right here

Right now, not on TV but right here

Put your flags in the air if you don't really care (wave it)

We need justice yeah, we need justice here

[Curren$y]

I heard he surrendered but we all saw how they did him

Television broadcasts, a confused country

I'm a resident of a nation that don't want me

What's done is done the town erupts in fury

And I'm already hearing bout this lopsided jury

Three faces like his, the rest another story

A lot of motherfuckers need to act more worried

[Problem]

The revolution has been televised

If I sit here and do don't do nothing, homie, that's genocide

Fuck that, we have arrived

And who cares who ain't on our side cause we on our own

How do you preach peace to a family that just lost they own?

My brodie Game just banged my line like "We gotta do something"

All that marching and that peace ain't gonna fucking do nothing

Fuck it, my moms, sorry I'm ready to rage

The police done let the animals out of the cage

Oh lord it's

[Game's daughter]

Time to take a stand and save our future

Like we all got shot, we all got shot

Throwing up our hands don't let them shoot us

Cause we all we got, we all we got

God ain't put us on the Earth to get murdered, it's murder

God ain't put us on the Earth to get murdered, it's murder

Don't point your weapons at me

[Diddy]
