[Intro]
Uh, no, we will not
Uh, nah
[Verse]
No, we will not stand here in silence while they take the lives
Of our brothers and sisters and partners
We will not turn a blind eye to the murder with no repercussions
Oh no, we will not
We will not live on our knees, we will die on our feet
This ain't no lie that I speak
All you youngins out here in the streets only wanna shoot people who look like you
You can stay home, you too weak
Oh no, we will not go and repeat the mistakes of the past
Ignorin' the snakes in the grass that's payin' you cash
Still we pray and we fast 'til one day that's your ass
We will not ask for no war, no, no, no, no, no, no
But we will be prepared for one
Hopin' not with a gun, with the unity
Using the same shit you did to destroy me
We sick of the garbage you kickin' and teachin', and lynchin' us
Lockin' us up for no reason and killin' us
No consequences, convictions, you serious?
Lyin' about what you show in the media
Assassinate all the leaders who leadin' us
Leave us with ones who misleadin' us
Then go and reward all the ones who mistreat us
And leave us in projects and give us these poisonous products
On top of narcotics to push to our sisters and brothers
Like them ain't our sisters and brothers
No, we will not be run amuck, led astray or bamboozled
The buck'll be stoppin' today
See what happen when athletes'll no longer play for you
Tell them accountants to pray for you, huh
I don't respect or disrespect what that paper do
Look up, it's too late for you
Droppin' you off, turnin' your profits to loss
When we wan' go shop in the mall
United, we all stuck in this bullshit together
Showin' these folk we just won't take whatever
Or else they just roll up and shoot up whatever
Just like they've been doin' forever
The niggas swear they hard be huffin' and puffin'
But ain't gon' do nothin' the enemy try 'em
They wait behind enemy lines, why you tryna be so friendly now?
Handle your business now
And we won't fear nothin' but judgement from God
Standin' there lookin' at me sayin' you ain't do nothin'
I bless you when you ain't invested in nothin'
Just kept up the cycle of death and destruction
Ignornin' your neighbor won't help him but helpin' yourself
Just like the devil himself (Shit)
Promote all that fornication, all that baby makin'
Ain't no baby raisin' for a generation
Now they trapped in systems 'cause incarceration was inevitable due to education
Substandard institution never cared
J's drop, buyin' every pair
Crack rock, crip, blood, all the eighties
GD, VL, whatever to separate 'em
Hip hop, King, you finally made it
Your time to take it past Martin Luther
All that money and you still blew it
Didn't save and you feel stupid
Itunes came and they bootleggin'
That's what you get for bein' hard headed
God damn, nigga, may as well gon' and go to Hell, hell
'Cause I tried as hard as I can, nigga
I know you only a man, but God damn, nigga
[Outro: Malcolm X]
They don't scare negroes today with no badge, or no white skin, or no white sheet, or no white anything else. They police the same way, they put their club upside your head and then turn around and accuse you of attacking them. Every case of police brutality against a negro follows the same pattern – they attack you, bust you all upside your mouth and then take you to court and charge you with assault. What kind of democracy is that?
