Murder We Just Saw

[Chorus]

Yeah we done heard it before

What we looking at, it's the beginning of civil war

Finally we just might be getting right to the core

The proof in that the truth of that murder we just saw

[Verse 1]

Fuck this there is no justice

And it's a shame because America is above this

But it's really not because these cops they are racist

The very foundation of America is racist

Yeah we all know it but nothing ever changes

They part of the system that puts us in cages

Time to break out every race, all ages

This is not anarchy, this is what change is

You don't have the right to tell me what my pain is

Or tell me how to protest or what my aim is

You the fucking problem, that's where the blame is

Cops killing black people, that's what insane is

Weak politicians we know what your name is

You can vote while I'm getting choked by a racist

All the actualizations against us are baseless

And falsifying the evidence and burying the cases

FTP

[Chorus]

Yeah we done heard it before

What we looking at, it's the beginning of civil war

Finally we just might be getting right to the core

The proof in that the truth of that murder we just saw

Yeah we done heard it before

What we looking at, it's the beginning of civil war

Finally we just might be getting right to the core

The proof in that the truth of that murder we just saw

[Verse 2]

Fuck that, criminal justice they run that

They can have guns but ask me where my gun at

They the criminals but it's me they want to come at

Who's telling them to put their gun back, fuck that

When it's gonna end?

Being killed by a cop is the sixth leading cause of death for black men

And then the courts don't convict them

When the camera shows they the criminals and we are the victims

[Chorus]

Yeah we done heard it before

What we looking at, it's the beginning of civil war

Finally we just might be getting right to the core

The proof in that the truth of that murder we just saw

Yeah we done heard it before

What we looking at, it's the beginning of civil war

Finally we just might be getting right to the core

The proof in that the truth of that murder we just saw

[Verse 3]

And they'll always be one more

As long as white society holds the monopoly on all law

Either or

That's the only law we follow

Cause colonial custom is what we trained to model

Shots in the air, this is just another day for me

Modern day slavery still requires the bravery

Street photography making slavery plain to see

We used to die aimlessly now the camera aims at me

One shot saving me, the other shot slaying me

But how is this condition any different from slavery

White supremacy is still trying to enslave us

When our voices ignored unless white folks save us

I appreciate the protests for sure

But when we gonna end the monopoly of white law

We follow their laws while they follow none

We're told to be peaceful while they're busting a gun

[Chorus]

Yeah we done heard it before

What we looking at, it's the beginning of civil war

Finally we just might be getting right to the core

The proof in that the truth of that murder we just saw
