Nikkiya - I Need Answers lyrics

[Intro: Matt Lauer] The images from this weekend's violence in the streets Stores being looted and riot police with dogs barking and charging protesters It all started with the fatal shooting by police of an un-armed black teenager The FBI has now opened an investigation of the shooting The shooting of eighteen year old Micheal Brown has opened a wound in the community [Verse 1 – Dizzy Wright] Never thought today god would take my friend But I'm dealing with it The police is at it again, and they k**ing the innocent They consider us gangsters if we don't walk around acting like brothers is feminine Y'all run off adrenaline How you obey the law by hara**ing a citizen? How we supposed to feel safe if you always act scared of us? Somebody must've told you a lie Not surprised that they calling us animals Living in poverty, tryna survive They say don't be mad at the cops, 96 percent k**ing is black on black crime They don't want us to be outraged But how we ever gon change if we don't even try [Hook – Dizzy Wright][x2] Why, do they k** us when they feel uncomfortable? This sh** is dysfunctional Lost one of my homies about a month ago Why, do we always feel like a target? If I know it's because my skin, what would you call it? I need answers man [Hook 2 - Nikkiya] Please tell me something How out of the blue, the one in the black Get shot down for nothing I just don't know, it feel like some nonsense Feel like some bullsh** Please tell me something I need answers man All of the sudden, boys in the blue shoot boys who are black Shoot them for nothing Where they do that at? I just don't know it feel like some nonsense Feel like some bullsh** Please tell me something I need answers man [Verse 2 – Dizzy Wright] It's no science to it, they treat us bad cause they see how we living Tell us take what was given The government been against us since the very beginning What if we took our guns off us and put em on y'all And then asked god for forgiveness Tryna get through to the public, marching and screaming for justice Only get us pushed to religion Hands up, don't shoot! We beg to be humans, we must got a snake involved If martial law can happen any minute Then what's an unpaid suspension if you break the law? k**ing us isn't the answer Establish facts before the propaganda Look, these regular people with regular lives Badges should come with a body camera Why every chance they get... [Hook] [Bridge – Nikkiya & Dizzy Wright] I need answers man (I need answers man) [x2] We need, answers [Verse 3 – Dizzy Wright] What now, fight back, bust back till they scared of that Cause Willie Lynch wrote a letter on controlling black people And we still ain't repaired from that Might as well pull out the rope I'm not pointing no fingers, I'm blaming us both It's obvious we can stand for the right things But media plays a problem with the things they promote Fighting in a lose lose battle, tryna bring peace but it don't come natural Walking in the streets, holding up signs And they throwing tear gas at us like the sh** don't matter It was a peaceful protest before looters We the violent ones, but they the shooters Can't be teaching these kids you gon be mistreated by the police for being a human I mean what kind of future is that? What it take to get back? I'm a man, I know better Maybe me and my folks should vote better Or maybe I should get out this country Cause they aren't gon ever respect us until we start f**ing up all of their money But until then, pump your fists if you still in Cause we will win, time to get angry [Hook + Hook 2]
