RIOT

[Intro]
Yeah I seen the news and shit
But I ain’t singin’ no blues and shit

[Chorus]
He say save our time for a dealer we know
Modern-day ‘partheid, shit it’s finna be smoke
Why we pay our crimes to a killer we know?
How he safe all the time from a bill that he wrote?
Lookin’ down on a valley from a hill that he stole
And when all us rally bring artillery hoe
How you take our pride for artillery though?
We don’t stay knocked down, shit you finna be low

[Verse 1]
I seen the recent riots
I seen the streets is fire
I seen a nigga’s face fucked up
You’d think he Myers
I seen that nigga’s face
It’s fucked up, that lil’ cheeky smile
And shit
I’m surprised that he was even fired
‘Cause you don’t hold the white man accountable
That’s real shit
‘Cause they the ones holdin’ the power
Makin’ bills, shit
I’m glad you said it for me
It’s “Derek Chowvin”, shit
I can’t pronounce it
I only speak real shit
And
I know that ain’t a language that you understand
You only speak hate crimes and violence to another man
Ya foundin’ fathers only taught you how to underhand
That’s been a lesson since the second that you touched the land
Yeah
It trickles down to the fuckin’ can
I’m talkin’ Aunt Jemima
Nigga I ain’t just rhymin’
Do ya research
Look at ya history
And then you’ll see why we don’t care about place and time

[Bridge]
This ain’t MLK, nigga this El-Shabazz
You wasn’t talkin’ all that peace shit when you held the rod
I ain’t got shit to say unless I’m tellin’ God
But you should know
The revolution will be televised

[Chorus]
He say save our time for a dealer we know
Modern-day ‘partheid, shit it’s finna be smoke
Why we pay our crimes to a killer we know?
How he safe all the time from a bill that he wrote?
Lookin’ down on a valley from a hill that he stole
And when all us rally bring artillery hoe
How you take our pride for artillery though?
We don’t stay knocked down, shit you finna be low

[Verse 2]
I got somethin’ to seduce ya
Treat us like Medusa
Turn yo ass to Rushmore
And send ya back to Lucifer
Actin’ like the empire the sun never set on
But somethin’ I would bet on
You won’t ever see the rooster again
Wish the ways of the wicked system would end
But the ways of the system only wicked as who’s in
And they’s only as ignant as the niggas that choose them
Is only vile as they minds, it’s time we move in

[Chorus]
He say save our time for a dealer we know
Modern-day ‘partheid, shit it’s finna be smoke
Why we pay our crimes to a killer we know?
How he safe all the time from a bill that he wrote?

[Outro: Dialogue performed by Ser Kokayi]
Ay nigga you hear that shit?
Yes I hear all that mothafuckin’ noise nigga
Aight nigga come on, get in
“Get in”, muhfucka talm ‘bout “Get i”-
Nigga they ain’t comin’ for us
Nigga I don’t give a fuck
Then this muhfucka gon’ speed
Nigga you hear the police
