L'marco - Am I Next?

Knee on my neck so
I can't breathe 
Can't even run a mile
Because they shooting me
But everyone wanna
Hashtag peace 
What good is a hashtag
When they killing me
I ain't tryna start a war
Don't want no division 
They tryna silence our words
But can't touch our vision
I'm feeling hella black
Hella Mad
Hella proud 
I'm praying No Wahala
While they take us out 
But stand strong you
Beautiful black girl
Like Yoncé said
You know you rule the world 
And to my brothas living
Out-Running the bloodshed 
You're a king,
That's why they got a price
On your head  
But there's a new voice in town
And I'm hella loud 
I'm not untouchable 
But they can't take me out
All lives my matter
But we talking bout mine 
I didn't survive a pandemic
Just to lay and die!
Am I next? Yo, You never know 
The way the system's set up
Yo, it's so cold 
Am I next? Yo, You never know 
The way the system's set up
Yo, it's so cold 
Now Everybody likes black
Til they gotta be black
Then They wanna sit back 
How you figure that?
Yes it's more to than to
Sing and to dance 
Or a ball in ya hand
Or to have a natural swag
Yea it's more than the color
That you crave 
To the sun you're a slave 
I just came this way 
I'm not tryna boast or
Put nobody down 
If you're not the problem 
Then i trust you'll stick around 
But If it home,
You got some work to do
But as long as We can see
You do the work
I'ma spare you boo
As for the rest of yous
Dont think this is a game
If you poke a bear
Yeah, you Know the saying 
It's all fun and games
Til ya get hurt 
But we been hurt
So how the games work?
Hashtag whatjustice?
Hashtag nosubstance
Who wants justice?
I just want My life back
Am I next? Yo, You never know 
The way the system's set up
Yo, it's so cold 
Am I next? Yo, You never know 
The way the system's set up
Yo, it's so cold 
Do we really need Miranda
Just to get some rights?
How do they get away with
Taking lives without a fight?
So I need a petition for
Someone to listen?
To take it serious as I do when I'm out here living
Cant call Ghostbusters
can't Go to Dave&Busters
If we quarantined,
How come we Still get murdered?
Is it getting too deep?
Should I stop now? (Uh oh)
Did I ruin the beat (What?)
It ain't a bop now?'
I want it to get better
I really really do
But if all we see is red
Can we trust blue?
I ain't got a problem
I respect authority
I gotta problem with
Authority controlling me!
I'm not an NWA
But I'm getting close
I guess I been sheltered
But now I'm overwhelmed
Have you seen it?
The taking us out
And it's Caught on film!
Am I next? Yo, You never know 
The way the system's set up
Yo, it's so cold 
Am I next? Yo, You never know 
The way the system's set up
Yo, it's so cold
