False Profit - Not Safe lyrics

[Intro] What do you do when the very people sworn to protect you become the ones who oppress you? How do you react when their blatant crimes go unpunished? When clearly innocent people are killed in cold blood? This song is dedicated to all the victims of police brutality. [Hook] Not safe walking down the street Not safe selling a CD Not safe tryna get to sleep Not safe trying breathe Not safe praying in a church Not safe even as kid Not safe tell me what I did Not safe quiet or I yell [Verse 1] I’m dying to escape this hell Not safe If I’m crying in a cell Not safe If I’m trying to live well Not safe Not safe I got shot but I didn’t die not safe Half afraid the doc might co*k and aim Sounds odd but to us it’s not that strange Authority has got no trust just tainted From the black blood encrusted on the pavement Car crashed into me cops came spraying sh*t But what's new happens every day and sh*t Hurt if I'm silent murdered if I’m saying sh*t Was on my work they got violent I'm obeying sh*t Followed all the rules, attention I be paying it Treated like a henchman I work at a school Drenched in sweat I’m a caretaker Take your hands off, blank stares, real rounds, hit the ground not safe (not safe not safe not safe not safe) [Bridge 1] Tell me why I’m not safe. Explain this hate Tell me why I’m not safe Even when I cooperate Tell me why I’m not safe. And I never get to walk away [Verse 2] Imagine calling cops for a crime when they came to your crib they were primed Like a gang member creeping up with a nine Cuz they Heard from your voice on the line skin unlike mine that’s an easy target Trigger happy dropped 'em to the carpet A mom and her baby oh my gosh I beg your pardon When it came to his trial case got discarded Everyone was in denial disgrace sounds far fetched Swept under the rug but I'm having trouble walkin' Tell me why there’s so few white people talkin You say you got my back but police are stalking When they attack u stand gawkin' Roll up on ‘em like Christopher Walken Weapon of choice in your fist and whack 'em Otherwise I’m tired of your idle chattin' [Bridge 2] Time for a ski mask on the streets Isn’t this what you want me to be? Didn’t understand when we took a knee. Took us off the guestlist of being free Only a genius has opportunity Tired of seeing discommunity A knee to the neck I need to breathe F*ck it then this is mutiny [Hook v2] Now you're not safe walking down the street Not safe selling a CD Not safe tryna get to sleep Not safe trying breathe Not safe praying in a church Not safe even as kid Not safe I’ll tell ya what you did Not safe if you’re quiet or ya yell [Outro] This is how it feels not safe This is my world every day Doesn’t matter if you make mistakes Better hope your hiding place is safe x3 Tell me how it feels not safe? This is my world everyday Doesn’t matter if you make mistakes Better hope your hiding place is safe
