Fuck
And it seem like its a green light on anyone
With my skin type
Get pulled up before a tail-light and get shot
Know what dat feel like? Man it real life
We ain't have to be brought here man, real

Just gon be abused by it ya'll, wait a minute
I'm confused, I thought every man was
Treated equal, read it in the constitution,

Grandma on the phone screaming "Oh Boy

Damn it, she ain't never heard of Killa Cam
Clocks feeling like a celing fan
She remember back when Martin Luther, he
Would march and march and let the million
Man and that shit begin again

Y'all,.38s and revolvers
They should've never involved us
Probably knew that white women was

Walkin to [?] and walk out of Target
Stop and risk police going in my pocket
Drug search over [?] drug dog when they me
They barking
Black skin at the target, black for sale at the
Black market
And its all for free, we don't ask for nothing
I got me, I ain't backwards hustling
We got us, we ain't taxing us
Get yo ass back back back back back back
To the back of the bus
