lyrics

The spirit of George Floyd is living proof, there's visibly more noise we filming truth. They say it’s a "ceiling" on cop’s patience, that’s really true?, well where was that ceiling dealing wit Dylan “Roof”/ But instead Big Floyd get a knee in his neck, I couldn’t “Garner” up the strength to see him pleading for breath. I still think about Breonna as she sleep and she slept, cops bust in wit choppas let em eat thru her flesh/ I had white friends that’s quiet and it’s hard to discern it, but their voices got louder when they found that Target was burning. George Floyd life, safe to say bigger, and they use the word “looter”, safer way to say.../ Had a pastor say “it ain’t safe for me to go back”, so I didn’t go back and he work there I ain’t go back. Outsiders sayin “Seven you ain’t cut them no slack”, bruh abused my fam now on social media he pro black./ Three years I was drunk spit the kool aid out, I get criticized by ones with a kool aid mouth. They get mad at this and mad at that, they mad at riots, they mad at Kaep./ Cherry-pick MLK quotes for a false peace, decorated racism with “god” speech. Tbh I haven’t felt a deeper pain, reason why this was done to me in “jesus” name./ Z's

They mad when we riot they mad when we quiet like we can never win nawww

King showed no violence, still sniped him y’all was silent so tell me what it is y’all.

I say let it burn, my people we are tired they say The Spirit is like fire

let it burn down
