Masego, Rapsody and JID - Somethin' Ain't Right

Hold up, wait a minute, somethin' ain't right
The corruption has moved in view of my eyesight
Hold up, wait a minute, somethin' ain't right
The corruption has moved in view of my eyesight

Uh, look
And as I lay me, as I lay me, dap me down to rest
I lay my sword, my lady lays upon my chest
It's been a crazy war, the devil's bangin' on my door
My dear, my dear, my dear, I hear the shots ring, lay on the floor
I don't fear anyone but the maker
'Cause we can never murder hate, but can murder a hater
What's a more American way than tryna give 'em a taste of their own medicine?
Prevalent, ethnic, rebel, revel the revolution of melanin
Bust a move to the ghetto, we must improve the development
Brought some food for the fellowship, got the noose on my brethren
Call the goons and the government, come correct the corruption
Break the racial construction buildin' up
In the spirit of liberation, give me life or I'ma take it
That's my human right, universally, you and I, we could be unified
But when you speakin' truth beyond your youth, they want you euthanized
Creepin' through the night, it's something movin', right?

Hold up (intruders), wait a minute (intruders), somethin' ain't right
The corruption has moved in view of my eyesight
Hold up, wait a minute, somethin' ain't right
The corruption has moved in view of my eyesight

Hol' up (hol' up), watch over me and my body, man (come on)
Trouble all around, can't trust nobody, man (for real)
Devil on my heels and they all wanna cross me (uh)
Loyalty to God and my loyalty to Bobby, I'm the-
Panther man (the panther man), always lyin' to us on the camera man (camera man)
Death all around, pray we never light a candle again (pray)
Knowin' somebody gotta die for our freedom, bruh (for real)
Know they plottin' on me, echo sounds of the battleground
Ain't nobody I fear, I'm ready (ready)
Watch my back while I press on steady (yeah)
Load my gun, full clip, no hesi' (hesi')
The government the pigs, they deceit like a levy (talk)
They flood thy hood with the blood of the solider (talk)
Poor black men look over thy shoulder (talk)
COINTELPRO got the target on me (got the target on me)
But we don't stand down to the people, all free, screamin'

Hold up, wait a minute, somethin' ain't right
The corruption has moved in view of my eyesight
Hold up, wait a minute, now I wanna fight, yeah
The corruption has moved in view (and I, and I, and I)

Can't let you get away, 'way
'Way, 'way, 'way
Can't let you get away, 'way
'Way, 'way, 'way

Hold up, wait a minute, somethin' ain't right
The corruption has moved in view of my eyesight
