lirik lagu quartz qz - black skin pain

[chorus]
propaganda
smear agenda
i’m just out here
tryna exercise mirandas
throw my hands up
throw my hands up
though i really wanna take a stand
and stand up

propaganda
smear agenda
i’m just out here
tryna exercise mirandas
throw my hands up
throw my hands up
though i really wanna take a stand
and stand up

[verse 1]
no, i never know
when it’s gonna be
when you see me bleed
when i’m seeing r.i.p
so i can’t sit and watch another me
getting slaughtered
in the corner of my tv screen
it’s much deeper than a k!llin’
people shapin’ up the villains
tickin’ time bombs reachin’ inner limits
tell me that i’m crazy
tell me i’m insane
but you’ll never know the meaning
of this black skin pain

[chorus]
propaganda

i’m just out here
tryna exercise mirandas
throw my hands up
throw my hands up
though i really wanna take a stand
and stand up

[verse 2]
i am guilty until i’m proven innocent
magnificent – my melanin has got me in predicaments
6 years old, sittin’ in interrogation
just -ssaulted, but the perp was the one who got the patience
throwin’ out the qs like i just robbed a bank
prolly jokin
“maybe keisha is a 3 foot sk-nk”
in the back of the cop car
miniature felon
it was then that i felt
in this world i wasn’t welcome
looked in the mirror
when i got home
couldn’t see n0body
all i felt was alone
“i wish i were a white man, or a ceo
only then would my life have some sorta control.”
i don’t know why it stuck
but it wasn’t off-base
wanted to be first
but they wanted me fourth place
wanted to be heard
but they silenced my blank face
maybe i was cursed
maybe i was the wrong race

[bridge]
all together now, brothers and sisters
“we are worth more!
we are not another statistic!”
we are worth more
we are not another statistic

all together now, brothers and sisters
“we are worth more!
we are not another statistic!”
we are worth more
we are not another statistic

[verse 3/speech]
what i need everyone to understand
is that we are due our due process
in lieu of deadly reprimands
and what i need everybody to see
is that they’re not just k!lling us in the streets

they’re k!lling us in the court rooms
they’re k!lling us in the media
they’re k!lling us with their comments
they’re k!lling us with their fear in us
they’re k!lling us with their ignorance
they’re k!lling us with their mistrust
they’re k!lling us with their egos
they’re k!lling us when they prejudge

[outro: barrington hall]
d-mn…. alright, one more time for the people in the back
