J. Cole - January 28th (#BlackLivesMatter) lyrics

[Intro] Uh (yeah) Can I make a million dollars Off a rap tune? Hey (check) [Verse 1] The real is back, I'm here in fact I never left, I been grinding for 4 weeks straight I'm outta breath I been giving you all my answers I'm not a test but I'm pa**ing With fly-ing colors, look at this mess They steadily k**in' up all our brothers I'm in distress, I can go on for days and days But I digress, The Revolution won't Be televised man we playing chess? Cause these Kings and Queens Don't know they position but hey! We blessed, I pray we figure it out one day And nonetheless, I thank you Cole for Performing "Be Free" on Letterman Let's use our platform and try to do Good for-the-better man Cause it seems we all focused on Clothes and cheddar man On the media That's all they really want us to see! So they can control us And we fight and divide With no UNITY! But I believe in US, him, her Them and you and Me! So keep ya head up Let Rise Above and just sing (uh) [Hook] Don't give 'em too much you Don't let 'em take control It's one thing you do Don't let 'em taint your soul If you believe in God One things for sure If you ain't aim too high Then you aim too low (then you aim too low) [Verse 2] What's the price of a black man life? The cops k**ed Tamir Rice And ruled it out a homicide He was only 12 Let's just hope the judge don't let em slide Cause you stay voting for office When the justice system is a lie And we try to get by But look around, n***a it hurts Wilson murdered Michael Brown And was given a reward (a million dollars) It's a slap in the face n***a it's stab with a sword But the people will soon rise UP ALL ON one accord... Try to hold us down for long? One thing you can't! f**in cowards and scaredy cats? n***a One thing we ain't So you can throw ya tear gas White oppression and f**ing paint But we gonna stand our f**ing ground Until we motherf**ing faint! Ain't it a damn shame how many lives we lost? Some white people they can't remorse They rather not be involved They rather stay neutral Defend these cops and black ball But if u ain't a minority You can't feel the pain at all.... So don't get mad when I'm screaming out "Black Lives Matter!" Cause it's the truth in every sense Of the word and the latter White supremacy and white privilege Is all that's around us But I be got-damned if I let that sh** drown us I'm a stand tall I'm a do my best On a mission for better days And we ain't done yet Continue to stick together Until everyone's set They say we fighting for nothing And tomorrow we'll forgot n***a bet [Hook] Don't give em too much you Don't let em take control It's one thing you do Don't let 'em taint your soul If you believe in God One things for sure If you ain't aim too high Then you aim too low (you aim too low) [Verse 3] Justice for KJ You gon' keep on hearing Until his parents find peace And a Valdosta a new sheriff We tired of the racism And the constant oppression You try covering up a murder And soon you'll be confessing It's funny Cause just look at the way that God works You can reenact your statement You can say false words You can threaten the whole city You can cover up yo' dirt But n***a Karma is a b**h and She knows what you deserve (huh?) (yeah) I said she knows what you deserve (n***a) (yeah) I said she knows what you deserve You can threaten the whole city You can cover up your words But n***a Karma is a b**h and She know What you deserve Chris Prine She know what you deserve Chris Prine (yeah) Bell brothers We know what you deserve, n***a Operation Title Town (b**h) [Outro] 2Pac speaking...
