This song was written in support of the protests occurring in the USA and around the world in response to police brutality, especially against the black minority. These protests were sparked by the killing of George Floyd, who is the man pictured in the song icon.
[Intro]
"What's it gonna take for you guys to be okay tonight and stop this chaos?"
It ain't me out, it's not me, I'm gonna [?] now, it's not us God that's leaving, and I'm glad she thought I said that
[Verse 1: Jon Swaii]
Keep it a hunnid with you I hate havin' to write these words
I swear to God hell can't be worse
It's a [?]
It tears if my feet don't work
I crawl to my destination
Momma got back late from work
She told me, "Young man, you a black man
They may call you half that
Hope you lookin' past that
If they see you reachin'
They gon' put you in a black bag
Just the same as every other nigga it's the task at (hey)
Black education mean we show both hands
Black education mean we do what's asked
Fight the power later take note of badge
Don't be stupid baby they gon' shoot that ass."
[Chorus: Jon Swaii & Samad Savage]
And they don't give a fuck if you die
Punk police gon' look you in the eye
Pull the trigger on you go free we cry
Watch the cycle happen we free (wallah) (Umph)
And they don't give a fuck if you die
Punk police gon' look you in the eye
Pull the trigger on you go free we cry
Watch the cycle happen we free (wallah) (Umph)
(Yeah Yeah)
Land of the free but I cannot relate
Wanna believe I've gotta find my faith
"I can't breath," they watch you suffocate (I can't breath)
I need [?] and I don't wanna wait, wait, wait
[Verse 2: Samad Savage]
[?] so I'm lynched
Appreciated in entertainment but look at this
All for displayin' the hatred every occasion
If the person name Caucasian they waitin' and bein' patient? Shit
I didn't know you could murder and get away with it
Five finger discount style they never gon' pay for it
Get to talkin' like this they tell me I'm not makin' sense
You sayin' we deserve to die every time that we neighbors live?
Even when we not doin' nothing get stopped and frisked
'Cause [?] there's no more stoppin' this
[?] in the eye [?] Ferguson
The murderin' is hurtin' now on purpose
K.K.K gon' state it's purpose
[?] you're worthless
That's why when you're yourself
Love more than ever
We got to stick together 'cause cops will never let up
Since 2014 we told em' that we can't breath
The message [?] received
We watch the cycle repeat
We watch the cycle repeat
We watch the cycle repeat!
It's time to take action we cannot let this proceed!
[Chorus: Jon Swaii & Samad Savage]
And they don't give a fuck if you die
Punk police gon' look you in the eye
Pull the trigger on you go free we cry
Watch the cycle happen we free (wallah) (Umph)
And they don't give a fuck if you die
Punk police gon' look you in the eye
Pull the trigger on you go free we cry
Watch the cycle happen we free (wallah) (Umph)
(Yeah Yeah)
Land of the free but I cannot relate
Wanna believe I've gotta find my faith
"I can't breath," they watch you suffocate (I can't breath)
I need [?] and I don't wanna wait, wait, wait
(and they don't give a fuck if you die
Punk police gon' look you in the eye'
Pull the trigger on you go free we cry
Watch the cycle happen we free (wallah) (Umph))
[Verse 3: Samad Savage]
How many times we gotta see this?
I was scrollin' on Instagram and I couldn't believe it
He's onto the neck of a man and he was barely breathin'
I still [?]
I clearly see his breath of air was leavin'
Wait what's the reason a human being treated worse than a slave?
I contemplated while these officers just laughed in his face
I guess it's just another day
But if you look at the page
Of the murderer you see a MAGA hat hang over his face
I seen what happened to Ahmaud
I didn't know what to say
Same thing with Breonna Taylor
I know that's not okay
But this happens like every day
Sendin' all my people to graves
And they we equal but we dependin' on colour of face
America fills us with hate
And to destroy everythin'
And then they tell us 'behave'
But [?] the same thing
That shit was not a mistake
How the fuck you lie to our face?
If you really wanna problem then great!
If you really want war...
