iGoByLC - For the People

I lost my soul today
For the people
Yeah
For the people
But
I know that I'm gon' be ok
For the people
Yeah I'm a hero
We all people
All equal
But this ain't freedom
What happens to any of the law when you really need them
That shit go out the window like a brick
Opening up opportunist's way in
Snatching up all the ends
Pulled up guns drawn to the head
They wanted us dead since the moment we stepped into the store
Right when they called it in
BLACK is how you wanna paint yo targets
Behind a badge the best way you can mark it
Rage
You love to spark it
We see the hate in the eyes of a mind
Comprised of despising different kinds
Tryin to hide behind the pride of a nation
That was built by my people they enslaved
Racism always stayed the same
They never change
Until today
We can no longer take these stories
So say their names from Eric Gardner through George Floyd
The system failed them all
Ethics wasn't required
I guess that's why a lot of them still hired
But ima tell you what we getting tired
We already ready to set this shit off with the fire to stop our people from dying
Moms and pops brothers sisters crying
I'm liable to do something bout it
Nah I won't just stay hidin' you gon hear us grieve
Cuz we can no longer be quiet till we all agree
That we can stop all of the violence we take to the streets
And for what's right we gone keep fighting I'ma take a knee
They won't silence me until I can't breathe
