[Intro] Restrained face down with a so-called spit hood over his head Minutes later he was unconscious Seven days later Prude died after being taken off life support at the hospital The medical examiners office ruled his death a homicide Now Rochester residents are demanding answers [Verse 1] These cops killin niggas like we animals Some white people act like they ain’t understandin us Man how the fuck you ain’t understandin us when it’s a video every week of how they mishandle us They say stop resisting Correct me if I’m wrong but resisting is a charge how you gone catch a charge if you ain’t livin? Shits ridiculous Stop the shootin we a stop the lootin More of a Malcolm X approach we tried Martin Luther Takin babies away from mothers Man how long we gotta suffer? I got a son on the way I gotta teach ‘em to obey like a slave Or they’ll kill ‘em where he lay [Hook] Too many tears mama cried a whole lake How much water till the levee gone break Put on the Devil shoes Put on the Devil shoes No more asking for reparations We gotta take it We gotta take it The world the world [Verse 2] RIP to Daniel Prude I ain’t tryna start a feud Imagine if the roles reverse and we started killin you (Oh my God) Scary sight I could imagine But this the type of shit that shouldn’t happen (Anytime) Oh I see action respect action How you stand over his body and you laughing? Shit is tragic See if you not a felon you should register ya weapon Cause all we got is us for protection [Hook] No more asking for reparations We gotta take it We gotta take it The world the world [Verse 3] They tell us to vote I’m not sure though (Not sure) I think I’m ready to go to war though (Ready) Over the dollar bills and euros The police killings are now plural (Too many)  Education and healthcare (Yes) No more section 8 and welfare (Uh uh) Use your resources its help there What we need to learn to practice is self-care (Facts) Single mothers home schooling Ain’t no Wi-Fi they home coolin (Light up) Who suffers? the child does (Damn) This is nothing to be proud of (Nah) They say it starts in the household If they don’t kill you they beat you until you out cold Police say you offended the officer (Damn) One question how so [Hook] Too many tears mama cried a whole lake How much water till the levee gone break Put on the Devil shoes (Put ‘em on) Put on the Devil shoes (Put ‘em on) No more asking for reparations (No more) We gotta take it We gotta take it The world the world
