[Intro]
Look
Look around and tell me what you see
Look around and tell me what you
[1st Verse]
Man we tired of it like you
Wanna give it to em straight
No slight view
Black friends White Friends
All tight cool
I wanna know
What you think about our state of race
All you say is don't know
Wanna stay away
You got opinions man
I see it when you type it up
You don't tell the other race when you see em though
Some black folks saying you k**ing and k**ing our men
Just leaving em dead where they stand
Some white folks saying
They wrong and resisting arrest
Don't act like they so innocent
Some black folks saying
Equality's far from the end
The problem are systematic
Some white folks saying
Slavery's gone in the past
This new stuff I don't even see it
Some white folks saying
You claiming you taking a stand but really you taking a knee
Some of ya'll k**ing each other in ya music
Then turn around and throw a protest in the street
Man we can't face it
What are ya'll saying
Swear that everything about whites be racist
Every cop shooting that we seeing ain't a race thing
Take it on a case by case basis
We hate it
[Hook]
They think they know
We think we know
But if we wrong
We prepared to go right
And if it's long
We won't fold
We prepared
If it takes all night
We think we know
They think they know
If you wrong
Be prepared to go right
And if it's long
We won't fold
We prepared
If it takes all night
[2nd Verse]
I'm looking at this thing 100
Right down the middle man
Both sides for ya
Say you don't see it
Then listen when I show ya
It seems
Each time with turn the hit the tv
We lay there in the streets
Dead
Our brothers and fathers and sons
It hurts when go you silent
And hearing the only option for police was d**h
So racism is over?
Well when did it end?
We might got rights
Is that something you like?
Cause you seem to dislike
Whenever we use them
You say white cops k** whites folks too
But with they hands up?
With they back turned?
That ain't injustice?
If it don't hurt to watch the videos or see the folks crying
You won't care til it's yo son they baggin up
Scroll down the page
50 Iraqis get slayed
They taking these bombs to the face
Scroll down the page
50 Hispanics in graves
They fleeing so they can be free
Scroll down the page
Indian women they raped
And of most of em too scared to speak
Scroll down some mo
The articles about my own folks
You know we care the most about those
[Hook]
They think they know
We think we know
But if we wrong
We prepared to go right
And if it's long
We won't fold
We prepared
If it takes all night
We think we know
They think they know
If you wrong
Be prepared to go right
And if it's long
We won't fold
We prepared
If it takes all night
[3rd Verse]
Now how we gone fix everything that we broke
You know it's much deeper than just shooting folks
It's deep in how we think
And how we choose to speak to folks
Whites folks ain't fixing these problem without us
And blacks folks we know that we need them to fix it
If you ain't bout resolutions or solutions
Just get from round here
You can go keep yo distance
Brothers and sisters
Alll races on the front lines
All fighting with good intentions
No promises we got all of the answers
But be sure Im sitting at the table witcha
Blacks and whites meet
Intentional speech
Football can wait
This here is free
We don't need government or need the media
Just do it right there
Same city that you sleep
You think it ain't so
There's something that's wanting us dead
That wants us and got us prepared
That's wanting to come inside us and ride us
To make us act violent
To all of our peers
That's wanting me to
Clock pop pop
Both ways
Til I see them other bodies drop
No cares
But it ain't gone be no man down
Ain't gone be no backing down
We gone keep our head higher
Ya Dig
Say it
[Hook]
They think they know
We think we know
But if we wrong
We prepared to go right
And if its long
We won't fold
We prepared if it takes all night night night night night night night
We think we know
They think they know
But if you wrong
Be prepared to go right!
