might be wrong

Singer:staples, vince

we might be wrong

might be guilty

we might be right this time

you tried to warn me

this war that would kill me

i sacrificed

die to the world

i took the money

so for my life

can't sleep at night

you shoulda seen the crib though

so fucking nice

speaking on the unjust way the justice system is justifying crimes against our kind. justice is supposed to be blind

but continue to cross color lines. hands up

don't shoot. shot. stand your ground. blacks don't own no ground to stand on so we stand on our words. black and hooded is the official probable cause for cops to keep weapons on. i can't breathe through the chokeholds and gun smoke. these realities and appear to inform black boys and men of the dangers outside their doors. slain in society by sworn protectors. protected by their peers

grand juries full of friends. no charges brought against them. they kill and arrest us

transgress and oppress us. damn

cuz

we might be wrong

might be guilty

we might be right this time

you tried to warn me

this war that would kill me

i sacrificed

die to the world

i took the money

so for my life

can't sleep at night

you shoulda seen the crib though

so fucking nice

they searching

they searching cells. hold on cuz

there's police in this motherfucker

you ain't hear them? you ain't hear the alarms? three

four

five. six

seven

eight

nine. ten

eleven. another day in our block

we might be wrong

might be guilty

we might be right this time

you tried to warn me

this war that would kill me

i sacrificed

die to the world

i took the money

so for my life

can't sleep at night

you shoulda seen the crib though

so fucking nice
