Don't shoot, don't shoot, I got my hands up Don't shoot, don't shoot, I got my hands up
Don't shoot, don't shoot, I got my hands up Hands up, pull me over, check my background
Yes sir, they like a gang with a bass now It's time to put up a fight, we won't back down
It's time to put up a fight, we won't back down, back down
Either way, it's you and me A black man, not even safe in this community
Rather *** the thing, bout to try his aim He might get a raise, treat us all the same
Yeah, they treat us all the same And he's still not guilty like Rodney King case
Monkey in the cage without a release date Yeah, that's how they view us, but niggas is stupid
Look at the * that we doing, we the victims of the shootings
They label us the slaves, we nothing but niggas And they wonder why killing a nigga offend us
We got margins in the mouth, them streets will turn you to a savage
Get a cell or a casket, can't ride without a cannon
Count it, count it, count it, count it
We only jailed like slavery When we wanna stand, they gon' try to make us take a seat
And wait to pull the trigger on you, rest in peace, Benzo
Another innocent life taken with three kids at home
Don't shoot, don't shoot, I got my hands up Don't shoot, don't shoot, I got my hands up
Don't shoot, don't shoot, I got my hands up Hands up, pull me over, check my background
Yes sir, they like a gang with a bass now It's time to put up a fight, we won't back down
It's time to put up a fight, we won't back down
Put up a fight, we won't back down, back down
No justice got us causing all the ruckus All in public like * it all or nothin'
Lootin' or shootin', I'm tired of seein' my people givin' up
It's easy to need a taser or the billy club Another target killin' a man that think his partner
Out of breath like Eric Garner, pigs out lyin' and chokin'
Brothers bein' beaten since Emmett Till, now it's George Floyd
But I'm supposed to tell my son I gotta raise a boy
Bucket full of tears, after all these years
Prayin' for the single mothers, peace for my sisters and brothers
Only kids, but the pigs make a grave quicker Pickin' cotton, our ancestors suffer racism
Most of us only die for a street we reside Or runnin' a marathon, if said God will rise
I don't think they heard them, kids and queens are bein' murdered
It's like, we ain't got a voice, it's like, we ain't got a choice
Please don't take my life, I wanna be alive They'd rather pull out a phone while we lay there and die
How they gon' pick the day you gon' meet your maker?
Don't even knock, they'd rather do us like Breonna
Taylor Search the whip without consent
Probation, not excuses to arrest me for some *
Another black man when they shoot me Trayvon Martin, another black man in a hoodie
Don't shoot, don't shoot, I got my hands up Don't shoot, don't shoot, I got my hands up
Don't shoot, don't shoot, I got my hands up Hands up, pull me over, check my background
Yes, sir, they like a gang with a bass now It's time to put up a fight, we want bass now


It's time to put up a fight, we want back down, back down
Don't shoot, don't shoot, I got my hands up Don't shoot, don't shoot, I got my hands up
Don't shoot, don't shoot, I got my hands up Don't shoot, don't shoot, I got my hands up
Don't shoot, don't shoot, I got my hands up Don't shoot, don't shoot, I got my hands up
Don't shoot, don't shoot, I got my hands up Don't shoot, don't shoot, I got my hands up
Hands Up
We'll see you next time.
