[Intro: Doug E. Fresh]
No justice, no peace (Yes)
No justice, no peace (My beautiful brothers and sisters)
No justice, no peace
No justice, no peace (I only got one question)
No justice, no peace (Are you ready?)
No justice, no peace
Come on
[Verse 1: Busta Rhymes]
I got so much trouble on my mind, huh
Look at all of y'all here dealing with us
All these police here to really get us
Niggas really got a job where it's okay to kill us?
Fuck that shit now
Nigga herе to talk that shit now
Don't get caught up in the glitch now
We hеre to stick a fork up in that bitch now
You ain't been with us, do not try to switch now
You ain't part of the fabric or the stitch now
Fuck your systematic oppression, sit down
Like you could still hit me with your little whip now?
We demand justice and we come to get it
Still fucking unapologetic with it
Our ancestors were ducking, preventive with it
They told we attract the South, we magnetic with it
[Chorus: Doug E. Fresh & Black Thought]
No justice, no peace (Say what? Say what?)
No justice, no peace (Can't hear y'all)
No justice, no peace (Little louder)
No justice, no peace (Can't hear y'all)
No justice, no peace (Say what? Say what?)
No justice, no peace (Little louder)
No justice, no peace (Can't hear y'all)
No justice, no peace (Yeah, uh, uh, check it out)
[Verse 2: Black Thought]
I heard blue black be the new black (Huh)
They drive and survive, where they do that? (Huh)
The target on my back where they shoot at (Huh)
The muscle in my neck where they boot at (Huh)
They been dropped a bomb on a compound
That's above and beyond, where the spout now? (Huh)
We been forewarned of the countdown
The borough said they gon' work it out now, uh
The devil been a lie this whole time
I had to dig deeper than a diamond or gold mine
It's show time, I begged, borrowed, and stole mine
The phone lines ain't secure
Unload the chore, the Haitians
Face it, godforsaken race relations
Basically the case for reparations
In a Chevy Caprice and six degrees of Kevin Bacon
No justice, no peace
[Chorus: Doug E. Fresh]
No justice, no peace (Say what? Say what?)
No justice, no peace (Can't hear y'all)
No justice, no peace (Little louder)
No justice, no peace (Can't hear y'all)
No justice, no peace (Say what? Say what?)
No justice, no peace (Little louder)
No justice, no peace (Can't hear y'all)
No justice, no peace (Uh, uh)
[Verse 3: Mumu Fresh]
See, you got the privilege to be colorblind
I could never not see colored lines
"No coloreds" signs written on the front doors
Now they let you in, but then abuse you for it
And if you try to call a spade a spade
They taking all your funding away, that's how they play
They do drugs, they the victim
If you do drugs, you getting booked through the system
They kids act up in school, they see the principal
If our kids act up, we met at the municipal, it's criminal
How Black kids are never seen as children?
We grow up too fast, becoming victims
Oversexualized, but underrepresented
But it's our fault, right? We wanted the attention
That's how you pass the buck
Don't act surprised if we act up
See, the virus got us jobless and stressed a lot
Now America's on fire, the blister popped
Ain't nobody got immunity but aristo-cops
We ain't safe in our communities, arrest the cops
If Breonna can't sleep in her own damn home
Trayvon can't walk and just talk on the phone
Ahmaud can't jog without being hunted, damn near shot like a dog
But if he was a dog, he'd probably get more love
Killers woulda spent they whole lives behind bars
But he's one of ours and the rules don't apply
Shot Jacob Blake in the back seven times, said he won't comply
But didn't Floyd comply? And still you kneeled down on his neck until he died, but let Kyles walk by
Both of them arrived full up of the surprise
The law is the law or the law is a lie
'Cause if Breonna can't sleep and Ahmaud can't run
George can't breathe and Tamir can't be young
And Elijah can't walk, Sandra can't talk
It won't be no fuckin' peace out on your sidewalks
[Chorus: Doug E. Fresh]
No justice, no peace (Say what? Say what?)
No justice, no peace (Can't hear y'all)
No justice, no peace (Little louder)
No justice, no peace (Can't hear y'all)
No justice, no peace (Say what? Say what?)
No justice, no peace (Little louder)
No justice, no peace (Can't hear y'all)
No justice, no peace (Question, uh, uh)
[Bridge: Doug E. Fresh]
Tell me who matter (Black lives matter)
Tell me what matter (Black lives matter)
Tell me who matter (Black lives matter)
Tell me what matter (Black lives matter)
No protest (No progress)
No protest (No progress)
No protest (No progress)
Come on, come on, say what?
[Chorus: Doug E. Fresh]
No justice, no peace (Say what? Say what?)
No justice, no peace (Can't hear y'all)
No justice, no peace (Say what? Say what?)
No justice, no peace (Say what?)
No justice, no peace (Uh)
No justice, no peace (Say what? Say what?)
No justice, no peace (Uh)
No justice, no peace (Come on)
