$AVEDBYPARI$ - Black In AmeriKKKa

My first born one son dead here in Minnesota
Under the circumstances just because he was a police officer
That makes it okay
Oh now they got free reign
He's found innocent on all counts
Fo' hunnid years later and ain't much changed
They still standing by as the black man hangs
They traded in their robes and they mask for a badge and baton
They hunt us down for sport, love to see us run
Donald Trump still in office (check)
American police still garbage (check)
Another black man in a coffin (ina coffin)
Another black child without his father (without his father)
Another black mother and she sobbing (and she sobbing)
Another protest, tryna stop it
But we can turn this muthafucking protest to a moshpit
Cus only in America can you get killed for jogging
We just want to know what it's like to be free
Walk a mile in our shoes and you just might see
Fo' hunnid years later and ain't much changed (ain't much change)
They still standing by as the black man hangs (as the black man hangs)
They traded in their robes and they mask for a badge and baton (for a badge and baton)
They hunt us down for sport, love to see us run
They take you in dead or alive
Either way's a win
Put you in that cage or a grave
Never see you again
Imagine sleeping in your home before it being kicked in
Bullets to ya dome, wrong home - you didn't live
Hands up or handcuffed, they still shoot you
You comply, tell the truth
They don't trust you
Imagine losing ya life on Facebook live for a busted taillight
The world just watch u die as ya little girl cries
We just want to know what it's like to be free
I wonder if they know how it feels to not breathe
Fo' hunnid years later and ain't much changed (ain't much change)
They still standing by as the black man hangs (as the black man hangs)
They traded in they robes and they mask for a badge and baton (for a badge and baton)
They hunt us down for sport, love to see us ru-
I told him not to reach for it
I told him to get his hand off it
You told him to get his ID, sir
His driver's license
