Nuw - Revolution

They killing our fathers
They killing our sons
They killing our sisters and mothers for fun
We ain't much different just born in the sun
They wondering why revolution begun
Charging us interest (Charging us interest)
Based on the pigment
We filling up prisons more than where we live in (Where we living)
We need a change
Talking about a new system
(Uh, yeah)
Sick and we tired (Sick and we tired)
Hundreds of years
We been enslaved
And looted for hire
Stole from our homes
And sold to a buyer
Going against
Have you burned at a pyre
Work in the fields
On crops that were dryer
So that our captors
Could build an empire
(Fuck that)
Tryna be free
Tryna be more than someones property (Fuck that)
Tryna go flee
But lost half my brothers and sisters at sea (fuck that)
Family tree
Is altered cause they went on a shopping spree (Fuck that)
Planting my seed
But hope they don't make an example of me
Working my palms everyday till they bleed
They raping our daughters and wives as they please
We plotting
We plotting
They think that we lost and
I'd rather be north
And free like In Boston
Tonight is the night
When we'll get this shit popping
No looking back
They kept all us boxed in
Flipping the chapters
Offing our masters
So that our people
Could link up after ugh
They killing our fathers
They killing our sons
They killing our sisters and mothers for fun
We ain't much different just born in the sun
They wondering why revolution begun
Charging us interest (Charging us interest)
Based on the pigment
We filling up prisons more than where we live in (Where we living)
We need a change
Talking about a new system
Feel emancipated (Feel emancipated)
Now free cause we just made it (Free cause we just made it)
Built homes and procreated (Procreated)
Jim Crow now segregated (Segregated)
Three fifths is what they stated (What they stated)
Was our worth they just degraded
(Ugh)
Feeling so frustrated
Why they brought us on a slave ship ? (Shit)
Not even human
Got another door
For you and you and (You and)
No equal schooling
Ain't up to par
So they treat us like mutants (Mutants)
Fuck your excuses
We about go
And start a new movement (Fuck that)
Lived by the union
Shipped us to war
Coming back
More ruined
War against drugs
So they locking us up
PTSD ain't no one there for us
No opportunities
Rounding us up
Where we living, no funding
They call it a slum (They call it a slum)
From project housing
Tryna get grounded
Only options that we founded
Athletes or artists
Separate margins
To get money in the thousands
And glorified pigs (Glorified pigs)
Step on the ribs and necks
Of our parents and kids
They pulling the trig (Pulling the trig)
Our hands up
Dawg what the fuck ups with this?
I ain't tryna rap about just ice
More about justice and rights
R.I.P. to Floyd also Bre
Brown, Bland, Sterling and Arbery
Plus the rest (Plus the rest)
They killing our fathers
They killing our sons
They killing our sisters and mothers for fun
We ain't much different just born in the sun
They wondering why revolution begun
Charging us interest (Charging us interest)
Based on the pigment
We filling up prisons more than where we live in (where we living)
We need a change
Talking about a new system (About a new system)
