Jet Plane - Let Us Free

What can I do when I ain't tryna fight but I gotta survive
How can I stop the vision of the villain in their eyes
We just wanna live but we get killed if we comply
How much longer can my people sit and watch us die

I know we living in a tough time
But this a show that's gonna run over the runtime
We keep on standing through the rain into the sunshine
I do it so that I can finally free my blood line

This ain't a fight about who died when they protected us
This bout a system that just killing and arresting us
Put us in cages or just take our last breath from us
Now we enraged because we tired of you testing us
But now it's time for us to fight back
Right now it's peace but I can't wait for us to strike black
I tell my people keep it up we on right track
I smoke my reefer but I'm keep on watching my back
It's so much history they don't wanna rewind back
Slave memories that rest where I reside at
All these statues that don't tell us about our past
Now I think that It's a reason why we in our own class

What can I do when I ain't tryna fight but I gotta survive
How can I stop the vision of the villain in their eyes
We just wanna live but we get killed if we comply
How much longer can my people sit and watch us die

I know we living in a tough time
But this a show that's gonna run over the runtime
We keep on standing through the rain into the sunshine
I do it so that I can finally free my blood line

I learned that all my schools were named after some slave owners
Read up on all the ops I didn't know had graves on em
They celebrating human traffickers
We tryna live a life when it's a world of hate that's after us
And laugh at us
Then take another life if they get mad us
But I am what you seeing when you picture what a savage does
The history they taught us is a lie
And I'm getting sick and tired of these stories that keep stacking up
It's blasphemous
Tryna take the land of all the free but you
Can't ever get it back cause it was built upon the backs of us
So keep attacking us
You ain't gon' ever see us pack it up
This pain been racking up
This ain't no game
This ain't the last of us

What can I do when I ain't tryna fight but I gotta survive
How can I stop the vision of the villain in their eyes
We just wanna live but we get killed if we comply
How much longer can my people sit and watch us die

I know we living in a tough time
But this a show that's gonna run over the runtime
We keep on standing through the rain into the sunshine
I do it so that I can finally free my blood line
