Loyal 100
Yeah Yeah
Yeah Yeah
This the hate you gave us
Yeah
This the hate you gave us
[Chorus]
Prayin’ to my saviours
Lord, can you save us
Throw us in the jungle
Then they lock us up in cages
Sayin’ that we free
And then they find a way to slave us
Complain about the riots
But this the hate you gave us
How would you feel if somebody killed your baby
That’s how we feel, you done took another baby
Call us gorillas when it’s time to turn the tables
They call us thugs
But this the hate you gave us
[Verse #1]
This was going on for years
All the blood, all the tears
And thе colour of your skin
They decide if you livе
And we so sick and tired
And we tired of being secret
Every day, somebody mama gotta cry all again
Daddies murdered, this is not police brutality
Black Lives Matter, tell ‘em all to face reality
Ain’t tryna be no casualty
They killin’ us so casually
Got racist ass old CEOS
The Klan up in your faculty
I gotta protect my family
[Bridge]
Shooters in the back and put a knee on us
Say you wanna stand but you could never breath for us
Just want our justice and our rights
Keep your stimulus
What good is marching gon’ do if they’re not hearin’ us
Seen so many of kind crying, like they ain’t weep enough
Seen so many of my kind dying, why they up in handcuffs
Ain’t no Martin or Malcolm, we gon’ need someone to lead us
You can’t call police or police, who gon’ save us
[Chorus]
Prayin’ to my saviours
Lord, can you save us
Throw us in the jungle
Then they lock us up in cages
Sayin’ that we free
And then they find a way to slave us
Complain about the riots
But this the hate you gave us
How would you feel if somebody killed your baby
That’s how we feel, you done took another baby
Call us gorillas when it’s time to turn the tables
They call us thugs
But this the hate you gave us
[Verse #2]
Say a prayer for your babies
They out here killin’ forreal
When I talk to my sons
I tell them what it is
They hate you for your skin
They don’t care who you is
Killed a boy for a BB gun, I think he was six
I think that I’m proud, not afraid
Just prayin’ for better days
They tryna turn out the page
But it don’t help with the rage
Cuz it’s the end of the book
They took our lives like a crook
I cannot help how I look
But I’m so proud of my roots
Yeah
[Bridge]
Shooters in the back and put a knee on us
Say you wanna stand but you could never breath for us
Just want our justice and our rights
Keep your stimulus
What good is marching gon’ do if they’re not hearin’ us
Seen so many of kind crying, like they ain’t weep enough
Seen so many of my kind dying, why they up in handcuffs
Ain’t no Martin or Malcolm, we gon’ need someone to lead us
You can’t call police or police, who gon’ save us
[Chorus]
Prayin’ to my saviours
Lord, can you save us
Throw us in the jungle
Then they lock us up in cages
Sayin’ that we free
And then they find a way to slave us
Complain about the riots
But this the hate you gave us
How would you feel if somebody killed your baby
That’s how we feel, you done took another baby
Call us gorillas when it’s time to turn the tables
They call us thugs
But this the hate you gave us
[Outro]
This the hate you gave us
They wanna call us thugs
This the hate you gave us
