Equal

[Intro] (Cheeze, Cheeze, Cheeze) [Verse 1] Y'all hung us and we forgave you Y'all whooped us 'til we praised you And how hundreds of years later, we still a slave to you? I say to you, "Treat us the same way you treated Dylann Roof" And y'all ain't 'posed to be scared of us, we 'posed to be scared of you Dylann killed half of the church, y'all took him to Burger King Killed George Floyd 'bout twenty dollars, knee on his neck and spleen You don't wanna look like one of them, they'll try to steal your dream "Protect and Serve" is the motto, guess they don't know what it means I'm tryna live, live to that day I can see an all-black jury 2020 and I still ain't seen an all-black jury Just got a text from my mama, said, "Babe, I hope you're safe" I texted back and told her, "I hope they don't kill me by my race" [Chorus] Equal, we just wanted to be treated equal You bleed red, I bleed red, we all people Equal, we just wanted to be treated equal Kap took a knee and they fired him, all 'bout his people [Verse 2] You got a gun and I don't, the one who 'posed to be scared The ones who chasing they dream ain't the ones who 'posed to be dead And why the judge and the prosecutors ain't spoken out yet? And systematic racism responsible for half of these bids If it don't effect the majority, it ain't a problem, for real That's opioids, a problem, don't know what an opioid is Now how the system gon' treat you, it all depend where you live They only deem it a problem 'pending on how the majority feel He killed half of the church, they say he mentally disturbed Some people did a lil' looting, White House called 'em a thug With his Fortune 500 companies who stealin' from all of us Corona killin' these inmates, ain't nobody sayin' a word He don't sympathize with a race, he care more 'bout the flag They's black folk who fought and served too, lil' homie, that's facts And once you show us who you is, it ain't no walking it back You stood in the paint for his pain and I love you for that In this world, there's two justices and we all know that Paul Manafort stole millions and did two years for that My partner got caught wit' crack cocaine, got twenty-five for that We're talkin' to you, blue in the face but ain't no explainin' that We ain't askin' for no favors, just wanna be treated the same If you only care about you, how you expect it to change? If you've been privileged all your life, it's hard to feel our pain And Mr. Officer, I'on want no problems, just don't kill me, man [Verse 3] No, the system ain't broke, it's workin' exactly how they designed it The system don't work for everybody and ain't no way you can deny it If you don't think Jake and Tyrone deserve to be treated the same Then you part of the problem, the system never gon' change Everybody white ain't good and everybody black ain't bad The education they give you, it all depend on your bag The Indians were here first and y'all took it from them I'on even know why stealing illegal 'cause y'all did it to them Do you even know it feel to have a knee on your neck? I'm talkin' 'bout the system now, they make it hard to progress "A black man became president so we ain't racist" The eight years that he served, half the world couldn't take it The darker your skin is, to some, that mean you less qualified The undercover racist dangerous 'cause he don't show you no signs If they can make money off it, they'll welcome you to the club And they'll smile in your face and call you a nigga in the tub You got value? That's the only way they dealin' wit' you Fall off or go to prison? Then they finished wit' you I ain't just here to entertain you, I'm worth more than that I can trade stocks just like you, my brother showed me that [Outro] Equal
