verse
I'mma get mine, you should get yours too
Shooting, shooting, shooting, man them boys always shoot
(American dream, American man too)
Shooting, shooting, shooting, watch them boys always shoot
(And I-I-I-I been so tired of being insecure
Running, and running and running and running
Running, and running and running and running and
Running, and running and running and running
verse
American school and we in church too (Don't shoot)
Shooting, shooting, shooting, we the prey
I'mma be trill, you should be trill too
You don't even gotta talk we just shoot
verse
I am Sugar Ray Robinson, Booker T. Washington
W. E. B. Du Bois, I'm the modern one
Yelling at Senators, Presidents, Congressmen
We got a problem that needs some acknowledgement
I am no prison commodity, not just a body you throw in a cell
For any reason, just to bother me
Just for your quota, so it's rest in peace to Sean Bell
Sleep in peace Eric Garner (Sandra)
Every street, every corner
Conspiracy, new world order
verse
(The land of opportunity)
Don't act like you saving us
Man don't act like I made it up
Let's keep it one hundred
(Hey so what up my nigga?)
outro
The difference from how we used to be
Now, now, now shame on us
Now, now, now shame on us
