about

An emotionally charged song discussing the current racial issues in the world... BLACK LIVES MATTER

lyrics

I been getting no sleep
Keep sweating through my sheets
Too many people dying in the streets
Cannot trust the police
Say they about peace
But I don't think they know what that is
Man I ain't getting no sleep
Keep sweating through my sheets
Too many people dying in the streets
So it's fuck the police
Say they about peace
I guess they've redefined what that is

Man I don't get it
In 2020 how are racists still living?
Unless it's being taught to the children
That's on the real
Too many parents pouring hatred in their kids
Telling them what they should think
And how to feel, it's all fucked
If you don't show em how to hate then it'd be all love
But you perpetuate the problem and that's all dumb
I wish that I could chase y'all back to where you crawled from
When y'all die out it will be all done
The scary part is there are people in power
Who think of life as theirs, they do not see it as ours
They hide behind their badge and shoot to kill like some cowards
Then take a paid leave expecting thanks for the flowers?
Nah man, I'm bout to bring em the noise
Seen em smoke my homie's father back when we were just boys
Now I'm a man and shit ain't changed and I am more than annoyed
Cold blooded murderers
Rest in peace to George Floyd

I'm getting no sleep
Keep sweating through my sheets
Too many people dying in the streets
Cannot trust the police
Say they about peace
But I don't think they know what that is
Man I ain't getting no sleep
Sweating through my sheets
Too many people dying in the streets
So it's fuck the police
Say they about peace
I guess they've redefined what that is

Now wait a minute
You mean to tell me you can go kick the door in
Middle of the night while everybody is snoring
Kill a woman in her home without even a warrant
And expect us to believe that you are here to support us?
HUH?
I guess your bosses must've lost all their common sense
"To serve and protect" really feels like the opposite
To make it worse you cannot even acknowledge it
Then you wonder why you don't have nobody's confidence
I'm sick and tired of just living in silence
We need a change, you cannot even deny it
You speak of peace but then you greet us with violence
We gathered peacefully, YOU made it a riot
One step forward, two steps backwards
Arrest our people, there'll be more when we gather
We keep it pushing til we can't drive faster
And you can find me with my people yelling "BLACK LIVES MATTER"

I'm getting no sleep
Sweating through my sheets
Too many people dying in the streets
Cannot trust the police
Say they about peace
But I don't think they know what that is
Man I ain't getting no sleep
Sweating through my sheets
Too many people dying in the streets
So it's fuck the police
Say they about peace
I guess they've redefined what that is
