Lockdown (feat. JID, Noname & Jay Rock) - Remix

You should've been downtown (Word)
 The people are rising
 We thought it was a lockdown (What? Yeah)
 They opened the fire (Man)
 Them bullets was flyin' (Ooh)
 Who said it was a lockdown? Goddamn lie (Ugh, look)
 It's a war going on outside, I swear to God
 I'm on the front line, no front, no cap, no fun-size
 Sunshine, cinnamon skin, people blend in together and ride
 Side by side, organize
 We bust guns at the same time, harmonize (Ooh, ooh)
 Form a line, pick a lead, take a leap
 Lead with love, please, you sound like Dr. King
 People tired of taking beatings from beasts covered in sheets
 I love niggas, but we too forgiving for how they treating us
 Reparations, though, we tryna get even (Yo, why my shit uneven?)
 Just run the paper, maybe then we can start the conversation
 Common ground, prison compounds full of my fuckin' people
 How you still sleepin'?
 Have you had your coffee this evening, Karen?
 'Cause you seem a little off
 All the black girls missin' and endin' up inside the coffins
 But you mad when they hashtag
 "BlackLivesMatter" on front your sidewalks
 Diabolical thoughts, diatribe from dialogues
 Damaging images of men and women who died off
 Fighting for civil rights
 A simple necessity given when you given life
 But we been trippin'? Right- (Skrrt)
 You should've been downtown (Ooh)
 The people are rising (Ah)
 We thought it was a lockdown (Shit)
 They opened the fire (Bah, bah, ooh-wee)
 Them bullets was flying (Lockdown)
 Who said it was a lockdown? Goddamn lie
 Downtown, where I got popped with the rubber bullet
 Trey-pound, got it in my name now, I'ma shoot it
 Ugh, maybe this Round two
 Government cinematic, American drive-through
 Eat their apple pie in the morning then bury the strange fruit
 Then marry the strange fruit, and call it the Black love
 So when he bleeds, I bleed, the sacred riddle
 Ain't no money I can make to make the cops get little
 We seen 'em murder the indigenous, the Passage Middle
 The Constitution, a life for a bag of Skittles?
 So when we bleed, I load the sacred pistol
 And if you need, I'll read Assata with you
 And if you rich, I pray that God forgive you
 Supposed to share the garden, grow the Holy in you
 Maybe everything is a metaphor, one God
 An African liberation is ready to take arms
 They telling you, "Stay calm," they double-barrel the shotty
 And stand on a graveyard and tell you to slave on
 Downtown (Down)
 The people are rising (Look around)
 We thought it was a lockdown (Shit, lockdown)
 They opened the fire (Had to get low, fire)
 Them bullets was flying (Down, down)
 Who said it was a lockdown? Goddamn lie (Ooh)
 Turn on your tube, dawg, look how they do us
 Knee on our necks, bullets in backs
 Stimulus checks, strictly for Blacks? History repeating
 People scared to eat a chicken, everybody going vegan
 What they put in it? Look at the world we living in
 They got us shook in it
 You go on your jog, then your color might get you took in it
 Man in the mirror, don't look away, you better look at it
 Black lives matter, so what it means when they shoot at it?
 Generation, genocide, what happened to enterprise?
 Heard the man infiltrated, Black Panther, re-energize
 Nothing to figure out, they tryna kill us out
 If I take a kneel, see my fist? I'm a killer now
 Just think, bullshit you gotta filter out
 Are you really ready for the smoke like a Swishahouse?
 Ready for the revolution, who ready to ride?
 It won't be televised, so tell me, who ready to die?
 Know the difference from a pan- and a plan-demic
 Just a bunch of bullshit, how we land in it?
 You either fall for anything or you stand in it
 It's a lot going on on this damn mission
 Big B.G. used to sell microchips
 Now, he out here pushing vaccines?
 It's about to be another lockdown
 Feeling like D.C., fuck you mean?
 Downtown (Down)
 The people are risin' (Look around)
 We thought it was a lockdown (Lockdown)
 They opened the fire (Had to get low, fire)
 Them bullets was flyin' (Down, down)
 Who said it was a lockdown? Goddamn lie (Ooh-wee)
 Lockdown, we ain't gotta stop 'cause they tell us to
 Downtown, where I got popped with the rubber bullet
 Trey-pound (Ugh), got it in my name now, I'ma shoot it
 Lockdown, we ain't gotta stop 'cause they tell us to
 Downtown
 Citizens of Los Angeles
 I hereby declare this to be an unlawful assembly
 And in the name of the people of the State of California
 I command all those assembled
 Right here
 On Inglewood Avenue... (Let's go)
