What are we thinking about now?
I can't believe how our
People could get
Twenty five years
But free them in hours
I wasn't worried 'til I came across the news
A black father was murdered by some killers dressed in blue
So why the fuck should I care now?
It's never been fair how
Can't even the playing field
If we can't enter the fairgrounds
So let me explain how
It's burden to explain how
You robbin' my people
But then you ask us to pay now

You might be at home when they kill you
You might be alone when they kill you
Driving around town with a broken tail light
With your kid in the back, now he's scarred for life
Can you feel me now?
'Cause they're taking no
Taking no hostages
Hey, taking no hostages
Hey

They kick in your door
And when you ask for a warrant
They be like, "we ask the questions"
Then tell you "Get on the floor"
Feel like they do this for sport
But they the ones with home court
Advantage, could take a shot
But it will always fall short
Should not be surprised when
Most of my time spent
Is with other felons
Wondering when we'll do time next
We been on a diet
No American pie shit
Ain't got no time to live it
Because we're too busy not dying

You might be at home when they kill you
You might be alone when they kill you
Unarmed, handcuffed, kneeling down on your knees
And you're staring down the barrel of an M60

Guns don't kill people
People kill people
Guns don't kill people
Cops kill people
Guns don't kill people
People kill people
Guns don't kill people
Cops are killers
Guns don't kill people
People kill people
Guns don't kill people
Cops kill people
Guns don't kill people
People kill people
Guns don't kill people
Cops are killers

You might be at home when they kill you
You might be alone when they kill you
Pulling out your wallet tryna grab your ID
Or on the ground saying, "Officer, I can't breathe"
Oh, just like that like, oh
Can you feel me now?
'Cause they're taking no
Taking no hostages
