Michael Kangaju - From The Jump Lyrics

Ok, Kangaju

(Woo!) Straight from the jump
I'm wearing a hoodie so you must think I am a threat
You ask for my ID, I go to my pockets, you think it's a choppa, I'm dead (Yea, grra)
Came back from the market to feed up my fam
And that day we could barely 'ford bread (Yea, yea)
Now my blood's on the street but the officer's fine (Huh?)
Guess I wasn't as black as he said (Yea)
Yuh
Straight from the jump
I'm wearing a hoodie so you must think I am a threat (Yea, yea)
You ask for my ID, I go to my pockets, you think it's a choppa, I'm dead (Grra)
Came back from the market to feed up my fam
And that day we could barely 'ford bread (Yea, yea)
Now my blood's on the street but the officer's fine (Yea, huh)
Guess I wasn't as black as he said

Damn
I must be blacker than black
Think I'm broke, 'cause they put me in castes for society
Prejudice lacking variety (Yea)
Shoutout to all the minorities plagued with anxiety (Yea, yea, yea)
Shoutout to all of those victims
those bleeding in silence 'cause nobody thinks with sobriety
Drunk off of hatred
Maniacally leeching off colors of skin
That's the basis entirely (Grra, yea)
Hop on a boat as a captive
Take us to land that you say you discovered
That's cap
Scattered us all 'cross the map
Speak out for justice, get killed
(Where they do that?)
Shooting up protests for "liberty"
This is America
Murder has quite the affinity
They working hard on their trinity
Prejudice, knowledge suppression and hatred
You kidding me?

(Woo!) Straight from the jump,
I'm wearing a hoodie so you must think I am a threat (Yea)
You ask for my ID, I go to my pockets, you think it's a choppa, I'm dead (Brra)
Came back from the market to feed up my fam
And that day we could barely 'ford bread (Yea, woah)
Now my blood's on the street but the officer's fine
Guess I wasn't as black as he said (Yea, woah)
Yuh
Straight from the jump,
I'm wearing a hoodie so you must think I am a threat (Yea, yea)
You ask for my ID, I go to my pockets, you think it's a choppa, I'm dead
Came back from the market to feed up my fam
And that day we could barely 'ford bread
Now my blood's on the street but the officer's fine
Guess I wasn't as black as he said

I don't know, lately
I found a way to make waves in the water, it's maybe (Yea, woah)
I don't know, maybe
What good are waves if the waters are barren, it's crazy (Yea, yea, yea)
Floatin' to safety
Why you so scared of the smoke if you built like the Navy? (Yea, woah)
Somebody save me
Way too closedminded, I see all this shit on the daily (Yea, yea)
Black and I'm strong
(Aye)
Stacking my Power
I started feeling like Austin
Making my statement like I am the man of the hour (Yah)
Knowledge is power
I'm working my brain as I'm climbing this tower (Yah)
When I'm at the top, I'm bring my people, humanity, up to empower

Straight from the jump,
I'm wearing a hoodie so you must think I am a threat
(Woo!) You ask for my ID
I go to my pockets, you think it's a choppa, I'm dead (Brra)
Came back from the market to feed up my fam
And that day we could barely 'ford bread (Woah)
Now my blood's on the street but the officer's fine
Guess I wasn't as black as he said (Black as he said)
Yuh
Straight from the jump,
I'm wearing a hoodie so you must think I am a threat (I am a huh?)
You ask for my ID
I go to my pockets, you think it's a choppa, I'm dead (Woah, yah)
Came back from the market to feed up my fam
And that day we could barely 'ford bread (Barely 'ford, woah)
Now my blood's on the street but the officer's fine
Guess I wasn't as black as he said (Black as he said)
