PROTECTED 2

Fights for red and blue
Or officers with they weapons drew
So yes it's true
We need black men to be protected too
Just let my message through
Born in a system built to pressure you
So yes it's true
We need black men to be protected too
Black man step outside but coming home's never been promised
The same one's that say we all equal ain't never been honest
They took our male ancestors but they hands behind they backs
And made them watch them r*ape our women real mental attacks
The Civil War, Vietnam so much to unpack
Bombed the Wall Street we turned black then they gave us crack
I'm just making sure that the picture is painted clearly
So it's no seen as an excuse I'm hoping the people hear me
Wonder why it's
Fights for red and blue
Or officers with they weapons drew
Yes it's true
We need black men to be protected too
Just let my message through
Born in a system built to pressure you
So I guess it's true
We need black men to be protected too
When I say protected I don't mean I need a queen on guard with a 9
I'm saying I need a queen that's protecting my heart and my mind
Ghetto name nappy head so jobs is harder to find
The white boy still get promoted no matter how hard I climb
Call you a b*tch on the song's the only way to get signed
They want us looking negative or weak it's all by design
Probably the same reason why
The government only gives welfare to the black woman in her home
If it only ain't no male there
One slip and I get hung
I might not make it home if this cop is slick with his gun
Might not make it home if the stress got me driving drunk
Might not make it home if the wrong n*gga asking where I'm from
I just need you there when I make it to bring me peace
That don't mean just be weak
That don't mean let me cheat
Just walk this two way street with me baby
Let's not defeat ourselves we fighting the same battle
They want us to compete it's truly deep
Why we having
Fights for red and blue
Or officers with they weapon drew
So yes it's true
We need black men to be protected too
Just let my message through
Born in a system built to pressure you
So yes it's true
We need black men to be protected too
