While Black (Red Light, Blue Light, E’s and R’s) Lyrics

[Chorus]
Red Light
Blue Light
Flashing at my Black skin
I’m afraid you might
Take another Black life tonight

Red Light
Blue Light
Flashing at my Black skin
I’m afraid you might
Take another Black life tonight

Pray I make it home alive tonight
Pray I make it home alive tonight
Pray I make it home alive tonight

[Verse 1]
Here we go
License, registration
I got it, I can reach it
But I’m feeling hesitation
Asked if I have drugs or guns
With your condescending smile
If this ain’t profiling then you’re in denial
I know my rights but you want to search my car
And I don’t want end up with a bullet scar
So I’ma let y’all do it, I got nothing
Hoping y’all ain’t planting something
I just wanna wake up home tomorrow

[Chorus]
Red Light
Blue Light
Flashing at my Black skin
I’m afraid you might
Take another Black life tonight

I don’t wanna see another
Red Light
Blue Light
Flashing at my Black skin
I’m afraid you might
Take another Black life tonight

Pray I make it home alive tonight
Pray I make it home alive tonight

[Verse 2]
I’m pondering about the date I went on last night
Feeling kinda stupid thinking it was all right
She told a friend of ours how she thinks I sound white
Because of that I guess I’m not her stereotype
Bet she didn’t know, if she had a telescope
It would show how Black I was in front of cop cars
Now I’m in the mirror tryna talk less clearer
Motherfucka, you’s a brotha, don’t pronounce the e’s and r’s

[Chorus]
Nigga
Nigga
Nigga
Nigga

[Verse 3]
There’s something about this dude on Facebook that isn’t right
He friended me but always saying shit I don’t like
He seems kinda bitter for some reason
So, I sent a message to check if he’s doing all right
Little did I know, if I had a telescope
It would show something more to his anger that’s caused
He responded “White power, motherfucker, White power”
Then he said the n-word with the e’s and r’s

[Chorus]
Nigga
Nigga
Nigga
Nigga
Nigga
