[intro]
you try to chase your dreams and people will chase you just to turn them into nightmares. rest in peace hana kimura, shad gaspard, nate woods, george floyd, ahmaud aubrey, leo brooks, philado castille, sandra bland, eric garner, and breonna taylor. rest in peace to those whose deaths went unnoticed. all lives don’t matter until ours do. remember that

yeah yeah

[hook]
i’ve been gone for a long time
locked away for a long grind (yeah, yeah, yeah)
they say heroes don’t die
but it’s all i see looking in your eyes
was it right place at the wrong time

look, i’ve been gone for a long time
locked away for a long grind (whoa, whoa, whoa)
they say legends don’t die
but it’s all i see looking in your eyes
another life taken, hope you don’t mind

look
check

[verse 1]
if you kneel, they’ll show what kneeling gets you
y’all play a part if you don’t feel there’s issues
ain’t no change of heart about to change all the pain caused by these k!llings
hope the karma’s living with you
i was just busy, recollecting on the last time i was here fully
all this time passed, and y’all still k!ll us just to pass time
you ain’t here for me, uh
all this tension in the air has people praying while they’re being preyed on
and even when you do the right thing, these white folks tell you that your way is wrong
so keep your well wishes unless you’re willing with help with this outlandish refusal to see the truth
a firm believer in letting my actions be the proof
behind me is the only flag that i pledge allegiance to
[hook]
i’ve been gone for a long time (long time)
locked away for a long grind (whoa, whoa, whoa)
they say legends don’t die
but it’s all i see looking in your eyes
another life taken, hope you don’t mind

look, i’ve been gone for a long time
locked away for a long grind (yeah, yeah, yeah)
they say heroes don’t die
but it’s all i see looking in your eyes
was it right place at the wrong time
ain’t no peace, everything ain’t all fine

[verse 2]
tear gas striking fear into the fearless
blacks lost at sea wondering their peers at
it’s pure fact, the cycle is never ending
we riot and pillage over these k!llings that’s simply based on appearance
imagine saying blue lives matter like they exist
y’all only made it up to mask opression
nerves start to set in every time cops have a question
evidence will show you all it takes is half a second
put a knee on your neck and then expect you to keep still
the internet will k!ll you just as quick as the streets will
while some celebrities will stay muzzled
similar to how black mothers’ screams stay m~ffled by lies told
been seeing through the excuses with both of my eyes closed
wonder if the end is near as soon as you spot strobe lights
some are living double lives
nah, you won’t shoot a cop, but you done took a couple lives
they get paid for it, you just pay for it, mm
while whites march with rifles, unharmed
that anthem means more than your life do
this world is cursed by darkness
george screamed for his late mother before they off’d him
my baby wants me to live longer than her
though i strongly disagree, i know she meant every word
so when i see these cops k!lling folks that look like me
i wonder if she worries who the next one might be
all these flowers in the attic for the lives taken
so if you hear this, fingers crossed for less time wasted
because i notice i’m privy to getting lost in my thoughts
i came far because i fought when i acknowledged the cost
so how you on the wrong side, high hopes you still have a spot in heaven booked
trying to outmaneuver the person that left the devil shook
made the reaper stutter in real life
their worst fear is us showing them what this feels like
lights dim
