never turn your back and think everything is just okay
hear 'em talk but still pay attention to what they don't say
you never really know what they see inside ya
who's really out for your best interests and who's pretending when
they reach out to show you love that's never genuine
your intuition tell you who's for your cause and who's for your failure
could be the ones who's looking real familiar
backs against the wall causes us all to act defiant
i witness how your country go silent when blacks is dying
i witness how it give and in return
cops ain't gave me one reason to trust 'em
live mobs tryna rile us up
i'm more offended by the ones who stand silent
never turn your back and think everything is just okay
hear 'em talk but still pay attention to what they don't say
gotta ask why they never act for us
it's more of turning a blind eye and quiet as gag orders
or footage caught on camcorders
perhaps they feeling mad for us
you watching the same wars
you see what i'm seeing fully
still say it never happened
guess my eyes lying to me
with all this talking and all this dearly departed
with brothers that's getting caught up
but the silence from so many says a lot
either with us or you not
gotta watch out for the ones you couldn't trust
when it's time to talk the talk
you better keep it on the hush
never turn your back and think everything is just okay
hear 'em talk but still pay attention to what they don't say
