Valtini "VaLtini" Melo - BLack Panther Party lyrics

[Verse 1] The wall between us is still there, but me and you can wreck it Racism is still alive And just when you think it's dead the police comes and resurrect it Keeping threatening black lives But we ain't scared so we're protesting Fighting for our own protection And if they keep asking why we need that shield for Answer this question "can you have my back and become my friends?" Course not... we're black so why would you dirt ya hands? Lemme change the weather 'cause my Mama wanna see her son shine (sunshine) Make it and avoid the Thug Life But when they have a shot to investigate, somehow they'll suspect the gun's mine But I'm innocent to the case My music so loud the feds came Prolly' bumpin' out N.W.A My stereotype will make 'em think I have the same behavior way I'm going insane, praying to the Lord they don't get me one day, catch me if you can [Hook] I manipulate you to come to this Party (the dress code is Black) I manipulate you to come to this Party (the dress code is Black) I'll give a piece of mind, you'll give a piece of mind Then freedom and peace can be yours and mine (lovely) I manipulate you to come to this Party (the dress code is Black) [Verse 2] When it comes to our race nobody wins These handcuffs are not comfortable and never been We fight until they let justice in But what it seems is that the law tries to cancel all the rings Basically they were trynna prove that Mike Brown deserved to die Seeking all the ways to show that he's the bad guy And expose that his innocence is a lie But really his skin color's indecency is a lot, why? I just gotta be strong but sometimes I just break down Like how can they shot my brother while he's on the ground? Rest in Peace Oscar Grant If heaven really got a ghetto I just hope there's no cop's around But if does, well... I hope justice prevail My brodie broke and the fam lacks cheese for bail It's not f** cops, it's f** injustice, f** jail, f** corruption We really trynna avoid black skin eruption In the streets and avenues Bring the peace and we'll be having news One time for each mind, better take the piece that you haven't knew 1 call at least and I'll be there for you, brother [Hook] I manipulate you to come to this Party (the dress code is Black) I manipulate you to come to this Party (the dress code is Black) I'll give a piece of mind, you'll give a piece of mind Then freedom and peace can be yours and mine (lovely) I manipulate you to come to this Party (the dress code is Black) [Interlude] No more Brothers in jail! OFF THE PIGS! Pigs are gonna get k**ed! OFF THE PIGS! No more pigs in our community! OFF THE PIGS! No more pigs in our community! OFF THE PIGS! The Revolution has come! OFF THE PIGS! Time to pick up the gun! OFF THE PIGS! OFF THE PIGS! [Verse 3] It takes us an explosive heart and determination To be soldiers enough to annihilate the segregation And participate in a pacification war And have the courage to go get justice's key-door Have enough balls but not to play against your nation This ain't no World Cup where there's a lot of teams you be facing Give something to offer, not demand freedom for your brother And the next day in the hood keep k**ing each other I know life is hard, but you gotta find the best ways to face If you run away from your problems you'll never beat that race Still asphyxiation won't help me Rest in Peace Eric Garner, I still can't breathe I can't breathe, I can't breathe Still pull the hoodie up for Trayvon Martin Martin Luther King's offspring One time for my bro's that's m**ms Stand for something or fall anything, X [Hook] I manipulate you to come to this Party (the dress code is Black) I manipulate you to come to this Party (the dress code is Black) I'll give a piece of mind, you'll give a piece of mind Then freedom and peace can be yours and mine (lovely) I manipulate you to come to this Party (the dress code is Black) [Outro] I manipulate you to come to this party (x4) (No more Brothers in jail! Pigs are gonna get k**ed! No more pigs in our community!vNo more pigs in our community! The Revolution has come! Time to pick up the gun!
