This is a first-time collaboration between Masego and Rapsody alongside JID, whom both have worked with. A personification of black people recognizing the injustice built into the US government, the three lyricists embody the confusion and anger against unjust systems that the black population have...
[Intro: Masego]
Can't let you get away, 'way
'Way, 'way, 'way
Can't let you get away, 'way
'Way, 'way, 'way
[Chorus: Masego & JID]
Hold up, wait a minute, somethin' ain't right
The corruption has moved in view of my eyesight
Hold up, wait a minute, somethin' ain't right
The corruption has moved in view of my eyesight (Uh, look)
[Verse 1: JID]
And as I lay me, as I lay me down, me down to rest
I lay my sword, my lady lays upon my chest
It's been a crazy war, the devil's bangin' on my door
My dear, my dear, my dear, I hear the shots ring, lay on the floor
I don't fear anyone but the maker
'Cause we can never murder hate but can murder a hater
What's a more American way to try to give 'em a taste of they own medicine?
Prevalent ethnic rebel, the revolution of melanin
Bust a move to the ghetto, we must improve the development
Brought some food for the fellowship, got a noose on my brethren
Call the goons and the government, come correct the corruption
Break the racial construction buildin' up
In the spirit of liberation, give me life or I'ma take it
That's my human right, universally, you and I, we could be unified
But when you speakin' truth beyond your youth, they want you euthanized
Creepin' through the night, hear something movin', right?
Intruders, intruders
[Chorus: Masego]
Hold up, wait a minute, somethin' ain't right (Yeah)
The corruption has moved in view of my eyesight
Hold up, wait a minute, somethin' ain't right (Yeah)
The corruption has moved in view of my eyesight
[Verse 2: Rapsody]
Hol' up (Hol' up), watch over me and my body, man (Come on)
Trouble all around, can't trust nobody, man (Real)
Devil on my heels and they all wanna cross me (Uh)
Loyalty to God and my loyalty to Bobby
I'm the Panther man (Panther man), always lyin' on us to the camera man (Camera man)
Death all around, pray we never light a candle, man
Knowing somebody gotta die for our freedom, bruh (Real)
Know they plottin' on me, echo sounds at the battle 'rena
Ain't nobody I fear, I'm ready (Ready)
Watch my back while I press on steady (Yeah)
Load my gun, full clip, no hesi' (Hesi')
The government the pigs, the deceit like a levee (Talk)
They flood thy hood, we could blood up the soldier (Talk)
Poor Black men look over thy shoulder (Talk)
COINTELPRO got the target on me (Got the target on me)
But we don't stand down 'til the people all free, screamin'
[Chorus: Masego]
Hold up, wait a minute, somethin' ain't right
The corruption has moved in view of my eyesight
Hold up, wait a minute, now I wanna fight, yeah
The corruption has moved in view (And I, and I, and I)
[Bridge: Masego]
Can't let you get away, 'way
'Way, 'way, 'way
Can't let you get away, 'way
'Way, 'way, 'way
[Chorus: Masego]
Hold up, wait a minute, somethin' ain't right
The corruption has moved in view of my eyesight
