[Intro: Outlaw The Artist]
How (how)
[Verse 1: Outlaw The Artist]
How can I do this justice
When my bruddas don't get no justice
(Mmm)
How can I kill these beats
When they won't let my man breathe
(How)
How can they be so comfy
Knowing the truth was really this ugly
How you brainwash entire countries
How did the hatred get so deep?
Blood on your hands
How do you eat
How do you even sleep?
After you leave families In pieces
Tell me how do you roll in peace
I can’t believe this
It’s beyond me
Weight of the world
I feel it on me
That’s how I know we’re made from love cause after all that my people chose peace
[Hook: Outlaw The Artist]
How (how)
Tell me how did it get like this
[Verse 2: Outlaw The Artist]
I was born in the belly of the best
Raised in the dungeons way out east
Whole time I could tell something was off
Didn’t know it was the land right under my feet
Blood soaked now I know the earth is crying
Way too many ancestors dying
How could they rest in power or peace
When they got killed for no reason that’s deep
(Wot?) reparations that’s cheap
Look what these man did to my peeps
They ain’t even really stopped all now
Prisons how they remixed - slavery
I do anything and they - aim for me
All cause of melanin that’s crazy g
Now the world knows and it’s - plain to see
How you got so much - hate for me
[Hook: Outlaw The Artist]
How (how)
Tell me how did it get like this
