BITE BACK

I saw like four, five, police cars on the 405
Fly by in code
Three time to hold the line
They see the weapon in you
No sudden moves if you do
Our very bodies are shotties
Wait 'til we use our minds

Woke up this morning
To people mourning
Another brother they murdered just as a warning
That if we speak up
About how they treat us
They'll do it over and over
Until we bite back

This time we bite back
So let's bite them back
This time we bite back
They'll do it over and over
Until we bite back

Fuck forgiveness, god's a witness and she has seen it all
That's your Jesus
Those light features don't look like me at all
I want more pictures of we
In books that teach history
I want to be there when the final racist statue falls

Woke up this morning
To people mourning
Another sister, we miss her
Tensions are soaring
This time we speak up
Make sure they see us
They just gon' beat us, won't feed us
Until we bite back

This time we bite back
So let's bite them back
This time we bite back
They'll do it over and over
Until we bite back

That gospel for which you have and
Continue to benefit from is the curse
By which we continue to be destroyed
So please
Please stop preaching that painful privilege gospel
And let us live free
Free of the anxiety we experience

Knowing our bodies will be targeted and destroyed
As if to serve as a symbol of the power
They have convinced us we do not possess
Our beautiful bodies like trophies
Paste upon the mantle of a collapsing structure
But we are the fucking trophies
And we are the fucking make this stop
Let's fucking bite back

This time we bite back
So let's bite them back
This time we bite back
They'll do it over and over
Until we bite back

This time we bite back
Let's fucking bite back
This time we bite back
They'll do it over and over
Until we bite back

Bite back
