Time for Change (Black Lives Matter)
Lyrics
No justice, and if there ain't gon' be
No justice, there ain't gon' be no peace
Young people are in rage, and there's an easy way to stop it
Arrest the cops, charge the cops, charge all the cops
Not just some of them, charge them in every city
Across America where our people are being murdered
Charge them everywhere
That's the bottom line, charge the cops
Do your job
The way we runnin' out of time, it ain't no point of a clock
You might get killed for being black, no longer state of a shock
Too many names to keep a count like when the hell this gon' stop
Crooked cops treat us like opps to leave us dead in a box
Nobody love us but the hopeless, so we misunderstood
They feel like black lives don't matter, we just hopin' it could
They say racism don't exist, if not, why the fuck we pissed?
They hate me 'cause my skin, I'm proudly reppin' behind this fist
No more killin' our own, that's why we gotta stick together
I'll be damned if we don't fight, we gotta try this shit together
Dear Mr. President, you're fuckin' us over
Like we a terroristic threat, the ghetto covered in soldiers
Fear my only chance to live is with my hand on the trigger
Way they did the homie Floyd, I feel they huntin' for niggas
They don't love me, mama, every day we under attack
Knowin' I try to turn away, I might get shot in the back, facts
I can't even sleep right, starin' at the gun
Should be starin' at the peace pipe
Hard to see what peace like
45, Still get scared from the police lights
And I came up real rough, right under the street lights
Democrats, Republicans, Mr. President, Mr. Bill Gates
Everybody's tired of the sufferin'
First it was the quarantine, then Black Lives Matter
Now back to the quarantine and black lives shatter
Police wearin' riot gear, black child scatters
Imagine all the pain and the hate that it takes with 'em
Wanna make a vaccine and make it for racism
Still prayin' to the Father and keepin' my faith in him, Ghost
Say, look at the news and tell me, what do you see?
The cops just killed another black man that looked just like me
And nah, this ain't the first time and it won't be the last
Unless you stand up against it, so get up off your ass
Because this is the place and right now is the time
To let 'em know where I stand and how I get down for mine
They keep killin' my brothers and sisters, gettin' away with it
So I'm on the front lines and I ain't finna play with it
Black people in America have been oppressed
So we demandin' racial equality, nothin' less
For what they did in the past and still do
Wouldn't you want somebody to ride if they killed you?
Nah, the revolution won't be televised
But they keep chokin', beatin', shootin' us and tellin' lies
We better sever ties with this government
You silent 'bout your pain, they gon' swear that you lovin' it
Crime don't fit the punishment, no niggas doin' forever
Nah, freedom ain't free, we got to do it together
That means by whatever means necessary
I'm doin' God's work, so that means I'm too blessed to worry
Believe I'm just next to carry the cross for my people
Fuck cause, we gotta stay the cause 'til we equal
When we lost George Floyd, the conscience started shiftin'
I feel like Pac fresh up out of prison
I guess I'm just different, my heart pure
Feel, nigga, fuck I'm gon' stay in the house for?
If it ain't real, what you open your mouth for?
Yeah, I'm a team player, but I'll do it without y'all
I'm fightin' 'em southpaw 'cause I know what's at stake
We lose, then we doomed, there's no room for mistakes
I'm doin' what it takes, on God, we gotta beat 'em
No justice, no peace, I'm fightin' until freedom
We don't know what the future holds
But I know it got to change
And I pray, I pray that someday we will
But you should know you're not alone
Heavenly Father, I can't hold back these tears
Niggas been sufferin' for years
Can't get a break down here
Cover my children, we shouldn't be livin' in fear
Of people just tryna live
Can't get a break down here
Another black man killed by police again
Another child with a father they'll never see again
That's all I see when I turn my TV to CNN
Wonder when it's gon' stop, when we gon' see an end
Yeah, free all the homies that's still in the cage
Over-sentenced by crooked judges and racist DAs
Racism in the system is harder
Sentenced a little harsher 'cause my skin a little darker
Look, we deal with all kinds of injustice
My uncle died in police custody and now the cop was arrested
Sometimes I wish that Obama could've got reelected
The black vote is our power and we gotta protect it
I remember 2Pac said it first, realest shit I heard ever before
You got money for war but none for the hungry and poor
That's why they burnin' your store
It's a message to all, the only way you could be tall
And for everyone else to be stuck on their knee
They fuck with you small, you wack and you weak
It ain't no explanation why assassination
Of black men and women continue, repeat
But this generation don't care about no racism, they ready to die
Eye for an eye, two lost, never won
Take it however it come, you black, better get you a gun
I ain't dyin' for nothin', but anyone shoot at my son
I'm comin' to shoot at the sun
Man, fuck white supremacy and all the
Businesses been in support ever since it begun
Gotta cancel our orders, do that for our daughters
And all of our sisters, we owe it to them
No hesitation, gon' go off for them
The yock in my future, I'll blow it for them
Attack 'em like maybe won't know it with me
Especially now that the Lord with me, King
The people want change, so don't think it's strange when you see
The people in rage from bein' enslaved
Shouldn't it be we would eventually get up and swing back, fight back?
Even against the police, the people is ready to strike back like that
Leavin' us dead in the streets, the people are heated
Strike match, light that, televise so you can see it
The people, they mean it, the scene is white
But too bad that we had to die
How many more men do they gotta kill?
No need to pretend 'cause this shit is real
It's time to rise up, pay attention and open your eyes up
A little wider, maybe we need to think wiser, retire
And be the incredible, the success is inevitable
Innovators, creators and motivators
For some reason they act like they scared of us though
So they wanted us grown, they wanted us
They step on our flow, so we gotta beat, we lettin' 'em know
We finna be takin' this shit no more
No justice, no peace, this means war
What do you think they screamin' for?
Figure this time that we givin' the score
So I got a question for 'em, message for 'em
I heard somebody say that all lives matter
But not in this matter (This matter)
Black lives matter right now, that's
All that matter (That's all that matter)
Y'all president messy and immature (Immature)
Full of shit, cow manure (Cow manure)
I might not know politics, but I know prejudice
And Santa Claus ain't got nothin' to do with Jesus (With Jesus)
His hair was like wool, and it was nappy (It was nappy)
I put that on God, his pappy (His pappy)
Dear sister, look, I'm sorry for the things I did
When they kill you in the darkness, we ran and hid
We were ripped from our families, didn't raise our kids
But shit, who raised us? We got used to the pain, it didn't phase us
I don't want change, I wanna take aim at our oppressor
Shit, my pistol's in his fuckin' mouth
Yours is on the dresser at the crib
And if he march, then let's mob to where he lives
Bandanas on our fuckin' faces, peace to Freddie Gibbs
Get capped on your song, bitch, I don't kneel
I'm from the home of Medgar Evers and where Emmett Till got killed
Fuck the NFL and basketball and weak-ass deals
Black kids out here dyin', fuck how white folks feel
People power (People power)
Political power (Political power)
Economic power (Economic power)
Say his name (George Floyd)
Say his name (George Floyd)
Say his name (George Floyd)
