[intro]
we begin this week with so much emotion and unrest all across the country
no justice, no peace

no justice, no peace, defeat, now we
stand with [?]
[verse 2:]
who we got to protect and serve our women and our children?
put in public housing, ain’t no privilege in them buildings
it’s a one in a million chance for my skin tone to make a million
the pain that we endure, they can’t ignore ’cause they gon’ feel it
f~ck your feelings

we need change, we need somethin’
they k!llin’ us out in public

haters steadily floodin’
we protest until they sentence
the officers that have done it
[verse 4: ]

take a moment and feel some empathy and sing with me
[outro]
enough is enough. and we are not responsible for the mental illness that has been inflicted upon our people by the american government, institutions, and those people who are in positions of power. i don’t give a d~mn if they burn down target. because target should be on the streets with us
