its time to stand up and just fight for what you believe in
i don't call it violence i just call it self defense
call it black intelligence braw to you by the people
you just in it to get it
i am in it to make a change
in it to change the game
in it to rearrange
modern day lynching
all that leave us is pain
knowledge is power
all i give you is with brains
you see its money power respect
all seems the same. get fear looks
but i live round here
my house right next to yours
but i still get stares
in a
world of wrongness
and fights for the strongest
what's the innocent to do
when the fight gets brought kid
no way your that scared of my hoodie
people everywhere getting snared over hoodies
seen a couple pairs get aired by the hoodies
but
they don't care
my skin's bared under hoodies
this world is so chaotic
all i witness is violence
watching my brothers die and their sons grow with no guidance
truth's what i'm providing
to all those who've been blinded
being sold this equality bullshit i ain't buying
i'm so sick and tired of being profiled and instantly
watched close suspiciously because of my ethnicity
so stereotypical its despicable
and every black male in a hoodie isn't a criminal
this is everyday life where i'm from it goes on but i swear it can not go beyond trevon because i'm wearing a hoodie i gotta get shot or stopped by the cops its not just in flordia its out in farrock people really expect us to act civil right we got a black president and still fighting for civil rights we need to come togeather and unite because its time to fight the power so put your fists up in the sky
