lyrics

America’s a jungle gotta run wit a rod, first marched with Martin now we run wit Amaud. We suffer wit scars, can’t cover wit gauze, marched with Martin now we run with Ahmaud. Auntie Sylvia I miss you, you livin up in the clouds, Gabby you my heart girl I promise won’t let you down. When Jaquaysha lost her cousin she hit me and I was down, Rest In Peace to Ruben for Yasmin I’ll hold it down. /Titi lost her sister in Vonno mama, she proud, yet my mind keep seeing Ahmaud just falling there on the ground. And they still ain’t been arrested they followed him all around, said they feared for their protection, his weapon was he was brown./ So they threatened wit their Wessons and wrestled him to the ground, I saw the video on silent the message tho it was loud/
That if I’m joggin and I’m right in yo path, I gotta stop and answer you or this might be my last. And if I don’t stop you can rightfully blast, and YOU don’t have to be a cop, being white is your badge...

Young age shouldn’t have to see a grave

This way has always been the USA

Black skin ain’t bulletproof I’m here to say

They tell us that they for us, they ain’t really for us

Justice system tripping WOULDNT listen with no recording.
Cruel place to raise our black sons and our daughters,
rip Ahmad your spirit run past Georgia.
You runnin all around the world.
