Big K.R.I.T.

Released: September 2, 2020

[Verse: Big K.R.I.T.]
Mommas been cryin' and they gon' keep cryin'
Black folk been dyin' and they gon' keep dyin'
Police been firin' and they gon' keep firin'
The government been lyin' and they gon' keep lyin'
Propaganda news channels, that shit is all for show
Camera phone videos is like all we know
Diluting what an eye witness might really say
Because the whole world saw a murder yesterday
Now your account ain't what it used to be
According to them your eyes can't adjust to the violence you ain't used to see
Police brutality is all in your mind
And the tactics that they use only look worse in rewind
And people die everyday, you should get used to it
Hands behind yo' back, face down, and still say you shootin'
Can't breathe
Knee where your neck be like why you movin'?
Kids in your car, headed home like what you doin'?
Like why you chillin'? Fuck yo' feelin's!
Why you smilin' when I'm so serious?!
I hate patrolling your space, like why you livin'?!
Stop asking questions, why you filmin'?!
You look suspicious, I think you dealin'!
Step out the car, fit the description!
Someone I fear, I need to kill it!
Blood on the curb, I need it spillin’!
'Nother civilian, 'nother not guilty!
'Nother T-shirt, 'nother rap lyric!
'Nother life gone, I can't forgive it!
