Kelsi O - RIOTS

It's the happening we here
Can't speak about a riot
You wanna talk when it ain't necessary
But don't talk when we need you
You can't speak about a riot
When y'all keep quiet
When it come to our people
Wanna pick sides
But wouldn't wanna switch lives
Cause you know it ain't equal
Speaking y'all minds
Always at the wrong time
But never make a sound when we need you
But we should be peaceful
How many times can you tell a motherfucker how to treat you
Before it get lethal
Cause then they understand
And then they gone come up with a plan
Yea they hearing what we saying
They just gotta see we ain't playing
Gotta stand on our demands
Stand on our demands
Make 'em use the power in they hand
Or make em lose the power in they hand
Ain't about black vs white
Now it's wrong vs right
So you better make it clear on where you stand
To the allies
Gotta stand on what you talk
Yea if you with us come and walk
If you with us come and walk
Shit you ain't even gotta walk
These days you can say it in your art
Cause everybody don't march
If you playing your part
That's how everything start
That's how that fire get sparked
When that fire get sparked
Can't run know you gotta have heart
And to my brothers
We already know about the block
We already know about them pots
Yea we know about the stove
Know you supposed to whip it til it rock
Big dawg what you know about them stocks
What you know about some crops
See we gotta learn a lot
Gotta get together and buy the block
I'm talking from the food, to the schools, to the hospitals
We need all that shit on lock
And this our shot
We gone get it together
Yea it's been a lil while
We been here in the wild
We ain't gone be here forever
Yea it's been a lil while
Gotta get it together
We gotta do better
Cause when you know better
Still gotta do better
That's the part they don't tell you
Know no better
They don't really know no better
They don't really know no better
Show them better
Nobody ever showed them better
Nobody exposed them to better
They don't know no better
They don't know we stronger together
They don't know we stronger together
They don't even know
And they don't know cause we don't tell em
Now it's time for us to tell 'em
Know no better
They don't really know no better
They don't really know no better
Show them better
Nobody ever showed them better
Nobody exposed them to better
They don't know no better
They don't know we stronger together
They don't know we stronger together
They don't even know
And they don't know cause we don't tell em
Now it's time for us to tell 'em
Know no better
