[Verse]
The problems getting worst
A modern 1970 Johannesburg
Man it hurts to see a cop k** a black man alert
Newsflash, police shoot blacks, distort facts
Quick attack
Unarmed men murdered them
Captured on cell phone video and they still let em go
When will they stop k**ing them asking why is they k**ing for white men
With a gun apprehended
He still alive
Black man with a gun he has no chance to survive
They will shoot em dead soon as they see the brown of his eyes
And they ask me why you ain't smiling Nas
Cuz I have a son and I die inside
When I got to tell em what was told to me
Can't play with your water gun son
Cuz the police see you 7 years old as a threat
They think it's right to k** a 7 years old on sight cuz he ain't white
So baby if I'm acting uptight when our conversation is weaker than you
It's just it aint that deep
