TEAUXNY - Current Events lyrics

[Verse 1] Just thinkin' 'bout these current events While I wait for sh** to occur 'till I vent Got me nervous again, the nerve of the man To k** another innocent black man Let's take a trip to Ferguson and See whatever is hurting us now, was hurting us then That sh** hard enough to take, even worse to defend No friends, that's what you call a war, feel like a saw it all [?] weapons now we headed to Baltimore If he fall, we fall, see y'all scared to Let's [?] out and be more, [?], careful Don't listen to the news, son is more than you see Obama gotta have more than a speech n***a, this ain't the type of war to retreat Then why you wonder why my ears, shutting off when you speak 'Cause where I'm from, we talk with our feet Lot of kids lookin' lost on the streets Either, end up in jail or in a coffin deceased Man that's deep [Interlude] Interviewer: Does it break your heart to see this happening ? Interviewed: Oh, definitely. I mean, what it is, is...young boys, the young folks of this community, showing decades old of anger, frustration. For them system has failed. This is more than Freddie Gray, this is about the social economics of, of poor urban America, and you know, these young guys are very frustrated and upset, and, unfortunately, they're displaying it, in very destructive manners [Verse 2] Now I'm headed to the cemetery, where they would want us To dig up, few of the homies they took from us A whole tank of oxygen for Eric Garner A fresh brand new hoodie for Trayvon Martin So Mike Brown, the pipe down, you can't win a [?] When white mans gun rises, another n***a falls [?] back up, before he calls back up And try to back us down like Freddie Gray in the [?] Or chill y'all givin' 'em reasons to attack us All type of riots, is no longer quite For some reason I admire, how we fightin' through the fire Speedin' with flat tires, every jungle has lions But even as lions, sh** is still as hard 'Cause hell, even Mufasa had to deal with Scar I say that sh** won't happen, they look at me funny Then k** Nick Thomas, light up the street from me Damn
