Loc Rhymacide - Eye 4 an Eye

That man couldn’t breathe and I could see it in his eye
He was calling for his momma Made the whole world cry
All that pressure on his neck That was reason that he died
We sick and tired of these pigs That's the reason why we riot
Five hundred years later I can Still feel the tension
Plus I’m watching CNN and I can still see the lynchings
Been dealing with this Corona Then we mudered by the PoPo
We tore the city up cause we Can't take this shit no mo
As far as the hate I don’t need it
Just open your brain cause I got So I can feed it
I gained all my knowledge ever Since I started reading
Growing up as a child the school systems wasn’t teaching
We more than a black life, we built this country with our hands we made a sacrifice
Now we’ll burn it to the ground if they don’t get it right
We sick and tired of being victims eye for an eye, eye
We more than a black life, we built this country with our hands we made a sacrifice
Now we’ll burn it to the ground if they don’t get it right
We sick and tired being victims eye for an eye, eye
Protect and serve is the motto
That's what it’s posed to be but it ain’t the creed that they follow
Instead they steady gunning situations full throttle
Shot that youngsta 10 times now that’s a hard pill to swallow
What the fuck is civil rights if we ain’t gotta chance
Life took by a pig before he made it to a man
I give it to you raw and look I hope you understand
We still segregated even though we shake each other’s hands
Home of the brave land of the free
How the hell we gone free when we can’t down the street
Sometimes when we do we harassed by police
Then that can turn out bad another black casualty
Plus the system be against us cause they steady getting off
Leaving black mothers mourning from the sons that they lost
I’m getting sick and tired cause it’s been out of hand
We shed a lot of blood from the making of this land
We more than a black life, we built this country with our hands we made a sacrifice
Now we’ll burn it to the ground if they don’t get it right
We sick and tired being victims eye for an eye, eye
We more than a black life, we built this country with our hands we made a sacrifice
Now we’ll burn it to the ground if they don’t get it right
We sick and tired being victims eye for an eye, eye
