Imadh - They Don't Care (feat. Sdot)

First of all
I wanna thank every single one of you for coming out
This is very important, this is very vital
Black lives have always mattered
We have always been important
We have always meant something
We have always succeeded regardless!
And now is the time!
I ain't waiting!
I ain't waiting!
Ayy
Ayy
Ayy
Yea
You
You
And you too
They want us to show our hands
Listen to commands
Follow they demands
But we here to take a stand (Talk to em!)
We can't take it no more
Kicking down doors
Do it now, cuz the future is who we do it for (Talk to em!)
If not now, then when?
We all men
Don't hate me cuz the colour of my skin (Uh!)
Blacks feeling attacked
They shoot us in our back
How you think we supposed to react?
(Let's go!)
Stand for nothing you ain't got a backbone
Little by little I'm only buying black owned
I'm talking about the motherland
Got another plan
We gon do the running man
Take our people back home
We been saying "that's wrong, that's wrong"
Guess they really thought that we wouldn't catch on
Tired of always singing sad songs, sad songs
Singing Sam Cooke that change gon come, gon come
If not now, then when? Let it end
Colour of my skin
I'm fighting for my kin
And I'm fighting for my fam, for my niece and nephew
Gotta speak now so they can be successful
I protect them so I need to check you
Think of all the bias that least affects you
All I gotta ask: the police protect who?
They killing us and you say "be respectful"
I do it for Breonna
Do it for Eric Garner
This for George Floyd - he called out for mama
This for Elijah
This for Tamir
This for Ahmaud - I can't list them all here
That fact alone is enough to shed tears
I would be swimming by this point my dear
I can't afford to be drowning in fear
Gotta ensure that the message is clear
All I wanna say is that
All I wanna say is that
They don't really care about us
Woah
All I wanna say is that
All I wanna say is that
They don't really care about us
Oh
All I wanna say is that
All I wanna say is that
They don't really care about us
No
They don't care about us
And they never really did
In the future it's a must
Let's go
Rest in peace D'Andre Campbell
Rest in peace Jamal Francique
Rest in peace to countless others I cannot name here
That would take up a whole damn album
Maybe 2
They want us to show our hands
Listen to commands
Follow they demands
But we here to take a stand (Talk to em!)
We can't take it no more
Kicking down doors
Do it now, cuz the future is who we do it for (Talk to em!)
If not now, then when?
We all men
Don't hate me cuz the colour of my skin (Uh!)
Blacks feeling attacked
They shoot us in our back
How you think we supposed to react?
(Let's go!)
