Buzzing in my ear can't hear nothing
Standing to my left a uniform gun bugging
I'm cuffing all my words I can't answer him
The answer is no piece in the paneling
He rambling then he turned off the body cam
Fell to his knees palms pressed
Blood on the leather free seats
I'm praying Jesus take away all the police
While I'm staring at a dead body
We don't wanna die no more
We don't wanna die no more
They don't even really get mad (no)
Till' we get another hashtag (hey)
We don't wanna die no more
We don't wanna die no more
We don't really like the politics (no)
But they killin' us for benefits, what?
I think its important to recognize that
The African American community is looking at this issue through
A set of experiences
There are very few African-American men, in this country
Who haven't had the experience of being followed
When they were shopping in the department store
That includes me
Side of the church, tryna cure all the hurt
But it's getting really hard, pluck away the guitar
Once I told the lead, that I really can't breathe
With this black that I bleed, he said your faith's not far
Novacain, the way they talking sounding like
They never read the 2nd James
What a shame, or maybe
All the paling congregation
Wouldn't rain, dry terrain
Say his name, say her name
Let somebody touch my sister, touch my daddy,
Touch my brother, touch my mother,
Touch my homie, touch my bestie
Then it's clipped
Feel like everyone a sinner, look at me the hypocrite
I'm a lover not a fighter, I be writing javascript
Bonus when the body blue, I can't weather in the brig
Lord I need you more than ever, I know this can't be your gig
Now they sorry for my loss, screaming matter lives black
Boutta testify in court, matter fact I'll be right back
Blood pumping in my ear, I can't hear nothing
Standing in my front a black robe hammer buggin'
I'm cuffing all my words I can't answer her
The answer is no piece in the paneling
She rambling then turned to the panelist
Fell to my knees palms pressed
Tears down the blue mans cheeks
I'm praying Jesus take away all the police
But I'm staring at a free man
We don't wanna die no more
We don't wanna die no more
They don't even really get mad (hey)
Till' we get another hashtag (hey)
We don't wanna die no more
We don't wanna die no more
We don't really like the politics (no)
But they killin' us for benefits, what?
We don't wanna die no more
We don't wanna die no more
We don't wanna die no more
We don't wanna die no more
From coast, to coast, (not guilty)
The impact of that verdict read in a courtroom
Continues to be felt across the country
This is evil, evil, evil, no type of justice, no type of justice
We just wanted justice, but he gets to go home
That's not right, that's not how this world is supposed to be
God said stand up for what's right
I couldn't imagine being that family right now
I just thought we were going to get some type of justice
It should've been me
It should've been me
All the credit cards
I'll make it all right
(I heard he was a scammer)
