lockdown (remix)

.paak, anderson

you should've been downtown

the people are risin'

we thought it was a lockdown

they opened the fire

them bullets was flyin'

who said it was a lockdown? goddamn lie

it's a war goin' on outside

i swear to god

i'm on the front line

no front

no cap

no fun-size

sunshine

cinnamon skin

people blend in together and ride

side by side

organize

we bust guns at the same time

harmonize

form a line

pick a lead

take a leap

leap with love

please

you sound like dr. king

people tired of takin' beatings from beasts covered in sheets

i love niggas

but we too forgivin' for how they treating us

reparations

though

we tryna get even

just run the paper

maybe then we can start the conversation

common ground

prison compounds full of my fuckin' people

how you still sleepin'?

have you had your coffee this evening

karen?

'cause you seem a little off

all the black girls missin' and endin' up inside the coffins

but you mad when they #blacklivesmatter" on front your sidewalks
