Verse 1
How would you feel if you were innocent
But sentenced to life?
Too many niggas getting killed over stereotypes
How many years we gotta struggle
Sick of getting beat down
How many niggas gotta suffer
A head shot to the ground
I know the hate that’s in your heart
You wanna see niggas fail
You want your ignorance in everything
You do to prevail
You want your white skin
To be another excuse for your wrongs
Probably thinking shut the fuck up
And then you turn off the song
I know your President ain’t hesitant
To make you feel great
But his belligerence and ignorance
Is what we can’t take
He wants the power and respect
For you to stand and applaud
There’s a reason for the season
So I’m trusting in God
Pre Chorus
And every black man
Ain’t carrying a gun
And every black man
Ain’t ran from his son
And every black man
Wanna speak up for his rights
And every black man
Has a right to live his life
Chorus
How doesn’t it feel to be racist?
It must be contagious
Cause the world has gone crazy
Uh huh
How doesn’t it feel to be racist?
It must be contagious
Cause the world has gone crazy
Uh huh
Verse 2
Your face is salty
And your heart full of hate
Why can’t you take responsibility
For the mess that you make
We want you held accountable for
Everything that you do
Instead tryna put the blame
On everybody but you
You wanna use your social status
Try to make us feel small
You wanna paint this picture
You ain’t Vincent Van Gogh
I wanna see a better future
And all my niggas to shine
I want a life with out us fearing
That one day we gon die
Cause we don’t been through hell and back
And done been through the pain
Took a couple hundred years just
To get out them chains
I’m tryna build a better future
For my niggas to grow
Im tryna lead a brighter path and
Let the whole world know
Pre Chorus
And every black man
Ain’t carrying a gun
And every black man
Ain’t ran from his son
And every black man
Wanna speak up for his rights
And every black man
Has a right to live his life
Chorus
How doesn’t it feel to be racist?
It must be contagious
Cause the world has gone crazy
Uh huh
How doesn’t it feel to be racist?
It must be contagious
Cause the world has gone crazy
Uh huh
Bridge
Come sit down with me
And let’s talk it out
So I can better understand
What you talking bout
I wanna understand your mental
Try to make you reflect
I want the answers to my questions
And thats with no disrespect
Cause I can put aside my pride
And I can patiently wait
No you don’t like me
Yeah I see that fucking smirk on your face
Fuck 40 acres and the mule
I rather die with respect
I’m sick of brothers dying
And mommas carrying around
All that stress
I wanna show my future kids aye
Look what daddy did
I’m tryna give a better future than
What daddy lived
I want them trigger fingers down
Know you can hear me loud
I think I said enough, I wanna here you now
