[Intro: Rayshard Brooks & dread scott]
Well, I just feel like
Some of the system could, you know
Look at us as individuals, we do have lives
You know, it's just a mistake we made
You know, and-
You know, not- not just do us
As if we are animals - lock us away (Black bodies, Black bodies- Black bodies, Black bodies on-)

[Verse 1: dread scott]
Black bodies on national cameras reduced to collateral damage
We're just a animal, savage, who matter less than the average
Every step set us backwards until we rest in a casket
It's unrest in the masses and first, they beat us, then gas us
Then they arrest us and pack us in packed prisons that's lacking
In conditions, like back in the days of slave masters who cracking
A whip to every body shipped in that tragic ship, packed like fish or some cattle
Fixing the clips and some ammo until this shit is dismantled
Now is you picking a battle or are you switching the channel?
No NBC, no revolution on TVs
In every little memory, I couldn't find a bit of peace
Where I'm from, terror don't begin in the Middle East
Felt that Red Summer heat, you a villain, you a beast
Tell me who created me and I'll show you the enemy
Let's be honest, the times is upon us, Frankenstein wasn't the monster
That was the name of the doctor, now that's some shit to ponder

[Interlude: dread scott]
The world is cruel, you know, it-
It took me through seeing different things in li-
You know, in the system, you know just
It just makes you hardened to a point (I'm tired of, I'm tired of)

[Verse 2: dread Scott]
Hands up, don't shoot us, innocent until proven
We guilty 'cause they accuse us, exploit us and then abuse us
Stole slaves since the constitution, you wanna call us looters?
Who you gon' call when the police the shooters?
Pandemic pandemonium, police roam the streets
Armed to the teeth like a Mandalorian, I chant down Babylonians
Black squares on my feed got y'all looking like some Carltons
Cornel still the only West that I'm acknowledging
I'm 'bout that action, my brother going out blasting
Like George and Jonathan Jackson, so many they brought in a casket
So many we naming in past-tense, god dammit, 2020 been some straight trash
Never ever thought I'd see the day Kobe passed
And I ain't voting Biden so I guess I ain't Black
Know they hate us niggas way more than Doja Cat
Lock us all up after they sold us crack
But they couldn't hold us back, it's a wrap

[Outro]
I feel like sh- it-it should be a way to-
For you to have some kind of a person
Like a mentor assigned to you to
You know, keep your track
Keep you in the direction you need to be going
We can't get the time back, but we can make up for it
You know s- and I'm trying
You know, I'm not the type of person to give up
You know, and
I'ma keep going until I make it to where I wanna be
