We give you badges we give you guns, you say to trust you yet you kill our sons,
where are now that racism has won,
the war of skin has just begun,
from the back of the bus, to 6'0 under, we no longer cry just unleash thunder, weapons drown, families broken,
its sad but these words had to be spoken,
think of the war we have awoken,
we will never be equal, we will never be the same,
because the privilege of lighter skin, we are making a huge sin,
dark like the dirt, dirty like the trash, we have have awoken,
we will never be equal, we will never be the same,
because the privilege of lighter skin,
we are making a huge sin,
dark like the dirt, dirty like the trash,
we have been fading into ash,
we are killing ourselves, its not just them,
we must come together and take a stand,
if bloods and crips can stop, why can't we,
this is the generation we grew up to see,
so from shackles to caskets,
from trigger to blow,
we take a stand
WE WONT LET THIS GO!
