by any means necessary

Pulling the trigger on another person, it's the perfect crime

'Cause the skin they're born in sets them up for life

So people sworn to serve us look away this time

Just like the last time

Is anything bigger than the badge they hide behind out on the streets?

Cutting holes for both their eyes in their white sheets

Who do you call when the killer is the police?

When 911 gets you six feet deep

Ooh, I know you see it, you don't believe it, like it was overnight

This is my story, since I was born, we've been told that we had to fight

'Cause no one's gonna fight for us, like living ain't a right for us

Now they've got all this advice for us

Never thought we'd use our voice, now they ain't gonna silence us

Any means, any means, any means necessary

Kneeling like you see on TV

Or marching through the blood on these streets

Go kicking and screaming, anything to start the healing

By any means, any means, any means necessary

Tear down all your shit that we built

Mend the broken spirits you've killed

Gon' make sure that you feel me

Give a fuck about your feelings

By any means, any means necessary

Now you think everything's fuckin' scary

"Colorblind," what a life, that don't help me

That won't help me, nah, that won't change a thing

It's not enough, it never was, to never make it known

"Apolitcal," don't absolve your wrongs

So much bigger than your little Instagram post

Trust me, with you or without you, we'll get everything we're owed
