BackWordz - The Professional Protester lyrics

Fake, fraud, I see it in your eyes Keep putting up that facade And it's probably gon' be your surprise Acting tough until the wheels fall off And you can protest. Yet Ignore the heart of the issue and you know this I done seen so many folks call themselves pro-black Ready to march at the drop of a hat But they won't dare criticize the folks in their own town Running their city into the ground 'Cause they terrorize, too The only difference is they look just like you They're your uncle They're your brother They're your cousin But you sit back and say nothing What, you're scared? How many more kids gotta get filled up with lead? The k**er was the same color But he offed somebody's baby brother What stares back at you when you look into the mirror? Do you recognize the person you've become? We represent the 13% of the U.S. Population But we represent like half the homicides since like '75 k**ing our own kind at a faster rate Than every other race and that's a disgrace We can stop police brutality But these problems ain't going away A gangsta, and you boast and brag k**ing people over territory and flags, you're sad Robbing grandmommas, you're a bonafide dimwit It's like you're on a mission to be another statistic What stares back at you when you look into the mirror? Do you recognize the person you've become? This doesn't have to be your destiny, you can find your way out You are not real. You're a coward Most of our problems are in-house But you're silent like a mouse And you want to cry, yet pout It is too easy to point the finger It's convenient to point the blame But it takes courage to realize what you ain't bout Unfortunately that's something that you ain't got You're fake Your activism is not the truth It's nothing more than an ego boost You're fake So you can shout and pout So you go ahead, take the easy route
