Black Message Songtext
von MO3

Yeah man
What they gon′ do? Keep shooting us?
Like we ain't shit? What?
What they gon′ do when we start shooting back, though?
Mama I'm fighting for you, yeah


I can tell that they really don't know what it′s like in the hood
Well hop in, take a spin
They enforce the law to kill us by the color of our skin
Take a father from his son, and send his brother to the pen
Younger brother charged with murder for tryna defend
The life of his mother getting beat by a man
He struck back and hit her again and again
So he shot him but the jury say it′s not self defense
Now he on the stand looking at a life sentence
If it's black on black crime, then they life just got ended
But if a white kill a black, they gon′ paint a bright ending
Like he was serving the community, protecting white children
White man America, they treat us like menace
Looking down on black man just for dating white women
They told me don't say this, my people might listen
RIP Malcolm X, he was my type of vision
They killing my people but why would you harm us?
We had no choice but to stand on that corner
Yeah, no lights in the house, I hope everything well
Mama not working, my daddy in jail
Why they think we bag it up and put it on a scale?
We don′t get the same privilege as them, can't you tell?
They call us the devil, we struggle in hell
Hope that I make it, they pray that I fail

I′ma survive
I know what it mean to put my life on the line
But it won't be funny when the tables turn around
Feel like my dream house is finally burning down
But I'm glad I made it out
I can tell, I can tell, I can tell
You don′t know, you don′t know, you don't know
You don′t know, you don't know
What′s really going on
Know why they treat us so wrong
We gotta stand up
Why would you shoot if my hands up?
I need an answer, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah


Take a look around, what you see?
A whole bunch of young niggas out there standing on the street
Just because they wear chains with a crease in they jeans
That do not make 'em thugs, what the fuck do y′all mean?
His life was laid down, do y'all see how they did him?
They gunned down Mike Brown, now his mama a victim
Of racist police who don't like how we living
If they kill us they go home, or might get suspended
Damn, that shit crazy
So I pray for my whole generation
Brenda got younger but still having babies
She just a baby so grandmama raised her
I look at my brother, yeah he graduated
But didn′t go to college, still glad that he made it
They look in our faces, I know that they waiting
To come separate us, they fill us with hatred
Gotta watch over my people though
And they screaming that we got a black president
But they still shooting down my black resident
First degree murder, they don′t like to let us win
Got it on camera, that's not enough evidence
The devil keep knocking but thou shall not let him in
My people need doctors but y′all keep neglecting them
They think we dumb but we're very intelligent
We want a future, my people go harder
You a blood or a crip, it don′t matter, be partners
Rest in peace Trayvon Martin, this one for Eric Garner
They choked him to death and that man had a daughter
What they gon' tell her when she wanna call him?
Oh your daddy was black so we killed him, we sorry
Sandra Bland laid down on that floor, you shoulda saw her
She was dead but the news said we was just talking

I′ma survive
I know what it mean to put my life on the line
But it won't be funny when the tables turn around
Feel like my dream house is finally burning down
But I'm glad I made it out
I can tell, I can tell, I can tell
You don′t know, you don′t know, you don't know
You don′t know, you don't know
What′s really going on
Know why they treat us so wrong
We gotta stand up
Why would you shoot if my hands up?
I need an answer, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

If you white then they say it's right
But if you black then they say it′s wrong
Tell the DJ to play my song
Tell the people to sing my song
If you white then they think you right
But if you black then they say you wrong
Tell the people to sing my song
Tell the DJ to play my song
