(1st Verse)
Systematically oppressed from the days when we were slaves
Beaten down but not destroyed, yeah this country's what they made
100 some years ago, our people got our freedom
From being in some chains for years, but the books wanna delete ‘em
Man, I just heard brother Malcolm
Preach to Generation X
And I soon realized, that behind these lies, our situation is complex
They say I'm full of Drama
And no racists cuz Obama
With all that family money
From All my family's trauma
I can't understand why the people just ignore it
And they wanna take the culture
I mean parts
I just abhor it
And they wanna look at me, like I'm the one who's wrong
When they claim their black, trying to spit some facts that they heard up in a song
Now I know we lost our chains
But that can't mean we're free
From the apathy we're taught when we get caught scrolling down our screens
And you see one of your brothers, dead, held up by his mother, and you look into her eyes and this is what she sings
(Chorus)
Where is the Justice?
When will we equal
More than a Color
And just be People (2x)
(2nd Verse)
Now I know they wanna ask me drop some fire on this beat
But I wanna go and ask why I hear fire in the streets
From the guns going Blah, aimed straight up at my people
And the shooters getting off, you wanna tell me this is equal?
You could tell me that its evil, cuz that's just what it is
We got nothing to fear but fear itself, but that's no way to live
When I walk outside my door afraid that it could be my last
Cuz in truth, yeah, we're at war, but the villain's here and masked
It's the demons from our past
Tryna fight and bring us back
To the days when being dumb
Was a synonym for black
Or to never check the facts
And never check the facts
Just follow with the media
My flow is getting cold, I think I'll go right here and heat it up
Give me a spoon so I could feed it up to y'all, so you start thinking
Cuz stats say that we're on a rise
But the numbers say we're shrinking
Everyday another of us dies
That's another sister weeping
So you look into that woman's eyes and hear that woman speaking, saying
Chorus:
Where is the Justice?
When will we equal
More than a Color
And just be People (7x)
