Kayode - #BlackLivesMatter - Remastered Lyrics

Flatline...
But the pulse continues
Up and down
Like SIN wave
All the rhymes
That I gave
All the souls
That I save
All the roads
That I pave...
I, I, me, me
It IS WE, see?
I stand on the shoulders of peeps
That died before me.
But some shoulders are of kids, G!
Got shot by cops
Turn cell cams on...
At least in past times
Had white masks on
Before they took a shot
Before they slipped the knot...
Our parents didn't tell you?
They must've forgot...
Now Millenials walk around
With amnesia
Eating flaming hot chips
GMO as anesthesia

They can't feel what's real
OOOOOH!
We can't feel what is real...
We can't feel what's real
OOOOOH!
We have to deal...

No GUNS UP MY SLEEVE
Crooked cops deceive
But ICantBreathe
No GUNS UP MY SLEEVE
Crooked cops deceive
But ICantBreathe

Some peeps
Might not have a death wish
Commit crimes?
Cops might leave you breathless
And moms standby
Feeling helpless
Prosecutors?
Sometimes at times, act selfish
They're just along for the ride
Evidence matters
Only if it's for the state's side
How does one conquer?
Perpetual division
Wanna indict?
That's Grand jury's decision

No more raw deals!
Our lives are real!
#HandsUpDontShoot
Just tryna' chill
Hear how we feel!
#HandsUpDontShoot
No GUNS UP MY SLEEVE
Crooked cops deceive
But ICantBreathe
No more blood splatter
Cuz #BlackLivesMatter
#BlackLivesMatter

Unless it's the cameraman
Or protestors in a riot
Then there are arrests
Then there are indictments
When all together
There's no stopping WE
Meaning the people
In a real democracy
But not right now
Most blacks are still property
Play on the radio?
They just might dub it
Democracy?
More like a republic
Without the banana
Or colorful bandanas
Whether packing heat
Or swinging hammers
I didn't stammer
And no I didn't stutter
Walk out the house
Ladies' hearts flutter
Is that the way to live life?
Are these citizen's rights?
Are these citizens RIGHT?
Do we have to go on strike?
Is it time we shine our light?
But we gotta make it bright!
Are you scared we might fight?

No more raw deals!
Our lives are real!
#HandsUpDontShoot
Just tryna' chill
Hear how we feel!
#HandsUpDontShoot
No GUNS UP MY SLEEVE
Crooked cops deceive
But ICantBreathe
No more blood splatter
Cuz #BlackLivesMatter
#BlackLivesMatter
