[Verse 1] You were given a chance To acknowledge my greatness Benefit of the doubt I pardon your lateness More than a feminist More than a rapping activist with kids More than a mommy, more than his wifey More than a journalist Godsteppin, I'm Godsteppin See what they done did now Told them if they pushed us too far I will come out Remind them that I'm holy Hands up, don't shoot If I can't breathe, then you can't breathe If you rush me, then I rush you They think they can bury us under the weight of our own oppression What they didn't know is that tragedy comes with another blessing And the fire inside of me only grows bigger with every injustice Jesus wasn't the only one who's crucified in public I am the sound of a million marches headed to city hall I am the one that you call when you question if there is a God at all I don't care who you pray to Patron saint God step on these racists Brown goddess with war paint [Chorus] Godsteppin, I'm Godsteppin See what they done did now Told them if they pushed us too far I will come out Bury me in a shallow grave Next year I bear fruit Eric Garner, Mike Brown Hands up, Don't Shoot Bury me in a shallow grave Next year I bear fruit Eric Garner, Mike Brown Hands up, Don't Shoot
