[Intro]
Mr. Officer, Mr. Officer, Mr. Officer, why you shooting?
I got my hands up (my hands up), hands up (my hands up), hands up
[Verse 1]
Don't know what they gone do man today (oh lord)
A crooked cop might try to shoot me today
Plus they dudes in the system, acting like they ready for sh** that they ain't ready for
Black power, they scared of us
"Just go k** a black", shot him through the windshield
Taraj want his brother back, f** that, this sh** real
Police k**ing kids, kids k**ing men
Broke and a fifth of gin'll make a n***a sin
You know you planted that sh** on my homeboy
Motherf**ers gave the bench to my old boy
When sh** real, your wrong ain't really wrong boy
So we clutching long toys dummy, b**h you see me coming
[Chorus]
And something telling me to stand up (I'm tired of this sh**)
Why you shooting? Officer I got my hands up (police)
My hands up, but something telling me to stand up (f** that sh**)
[Verse 2]
Lord knows the evil (the evil you do)
The DA fired you hot, the friends you called so that appeal get denied
I know it's hate cause when I won they had tears in they eyes
Said it's my lawyer, no that's karma for all the n***as you fried
Seen it firsthand, and man, they ain't got feelings inside
They be wanting ya boy to testify, we know he gone die
They smiled at me, it was lucifer in front of my face
Now my nephew fighting a body, how much more can I take? (f** that sh**)
[Chorus]
And something telling me to stand up (I'm tired of this sh**)
Why you shooting officer? (why you shooting?) Officer I got my hands up (police)
My hands up, but something telling me to stand up (f** that sh**, f** that sh**)
[Outro]
Rest in peace Michael Brown
Cold part about it (cold part about it)
He had his hands up (his hands up), his hands up (his hands up), his hands up (his hands up), his hands up (his hands up)
He had his hands up
Rest in peace Trayvon Martin (Trayvon, Trayvon, Trayvon)
Cold part about it, n***a shot him cause
He had on black bruh (at nighttime), black bruh
He had a hood that was black bruh
Why they do it? cause we black bruh
