Renegade (A Collaboration for Black Lives)

[chae:]
We’ve been slowly moving on
Undermined, Since I was born
Following these empty norms
Ashamed for breathing, in this
Form

So wake up, take these words
(these words)
The wrath building from the years
(the years)
It’s our time, to let'em learn
And give them what they fear

No I will not hide

I rather die a renegade
I rather die a renegade
I rather die a renegade

*drop*

I rather die a renegade

No I will not hide

I rather die a renegade
I rather die a renegade
I rather die a renegade

[DarkMark:]
Hanh, yeah!
Ain’t no holdin back
System’s set to hold us back
Side by side w/ Colin Kap
(Side by side w/ Colin kap!)

Hands up! Please, don’t shoot
They killin' all our youth
Why you fabricate the truth
We just end up on fuckin news
Or in a noose
Fuck you think this is?
Your Devil fears my fears
Cross my heart and say my prayers
& Fuck the 12!
We gon' break them rules
Rodney King Riots, like it’s 1992

[Wasiu:]
I’ve been held at gun point, I’ve been handcuffed
I’ve been told, "Young boy, pull your pants up"
I been- I been chased, I’ve been blamed, I’ve been followed
I’ve been called a dick, so this gon' be hard to swallow
Not a slave, I’m a muthafuckin Renegade
Burning, burning down the system let us celebrate
I been through a lot, but it was fucking worth it
Paid the price, but now I know just what my worth is

[chae:]
It’s our time, to let'em learn
And give them what they fear

No I will not hide

I rather die a renegade
I rather die a renegade
I rather die a renegade

*drop*

[midnight:]
Watch me
Flex that
Black Man
NO WEAKNESS
Top shelf
Gon' pour that
You's a wasteman
So fall back

Risen up like I’m chosen
*Right There*
Witness me like I’m chrome, yeah
*Ha, right there*
Came here with Revolution
*Right There*
Hold on, till the sun comes
*Right There*

'Til everything is
Black & Rose Gold
*Right There*
Black & Rose Gold
*Right There*
Black & Rose Gold
*Right There*
Black & Rose Gold
*Right There*
