The Pr0digy - Wanna See Us Down

Mama we gon make it, oh
Hate seeing you this way
I told my pops that we gon make it, yeah
Hate seeing you this way
They just wanna see me out
Don't care 'bout what we speaking 'bout
I know that they just wanna see us down
No, no, no, no, no

Nah, fuck that
Yeah them cops steadily killing us
If we ain't talkin' violence then them niggas isn't feeling us
That justice system is so villainous
Yeah we monkeys in they eyes, it don't matter if we in Hondas or a Bentley truck
Yo, yo, yo, what you arresting me for
Nothing, nigga
We have a case by case basis based on assumptions, nigga
That's how we function, nigga
It ain't never finna change
Oh y'all looting target
We targeting y'all, fixing our aim
No shame
Killing our black queens and black kings
Tried the peaceful approach, but y'all already killed that king
So what you expect
Now you see us as more of a threat
When y'all behind the scenes pulling strings it's real hard not to fret
Listen, boy
Told you already that y'all ain't changing shit
Now back up out my face
You should know by now this range is legit
Hate y'all kind and everything that you stand for
That's why we finding any little thing to reprimand for

Mama we gon make it, oh
Hate seeing you this way
I told my pops that we gon make it, yeah
Hate seeing you this way
They just wanna see me out
Don't care 'bout what we speaking 'bout
I know that they just wanna see us down
No, no, no, no, no

Nah, fuck that
Hold on, who the fuck you think you talking to
I'm fighting for my life I could killed jogging or walking, too
Funny thing is you really think I'ma back down
After countless years of getting smacked down and getting attacked down
Got y'all plan pact down
Tryna make us go extinct
Or have us right on the brink
Gone before we can even blink or try to think
It's been that way, look at our heritage
Look at what we inherited
Don't just glare at it, stare at it
Sir, you have the right to remain silent
But I won't, though
Cuz y'all tryna do a cleanse ain't talkin soap though and it ain't no joke, bro
And I'll be damned if I just sit here and take it
Black lives matter now and forever I know you hate it
Man, fuck you
I ain't got no business with the opposition
Abusing y'all position but now we got y'all attention
Y'all got the whole world watching now
Rest in peace to the fallen
But we got y'all now
Black power

Mama we gon make it, oh
Hate seeing you this way
I told my pops that we gon make it, yeah
Hate seeing you this way
They just wanna see me out
Don't care 'bout what we speaking 'bout
I know that they just wanna see us down
No, no, no, no, no
