Lyrics

Woah, oh
 Oh, yeah yeah
 Ah-ah-ah
 Ah-ah-ah-ah
 Eye for an eye, knee for a knee
 You declared war 'cause you don't want peace
 You just want sheep, and we are not asleep
 Blood on your hands, blood on our streets
 Oh, our tears in the night
 Another stolen life
 'Cause color is all you see
 Tell me, is that free? Yeah
 We are not created equal, no
 Could give a fuck if I offend a
 Couple people, yo (Tell me, is that free?)
 What the fuck are you watchin' us never in the sequel for?
 Let me wipe these tears and speak the truth to all my people, oh
 Fuck is we doin'? Where we goin' wrong?
 That a twelve year old gotta sing this type of shit up in his songs
 Gotta pick up his pops and his moms
 The youngin' braver than a lot of these niggas that's armed
 Watch all my people that they tryna trample
 It's time to form and get to lead 'em by every example
 In the bathroom, you wash your faces with us
 You ain't ready for tradin' places with us
 My heart hurt bad
 And I talk my shit like this with my kids, they be lookin' for dad
 Energy transfer, kids look at me mad
 Gotta still be the source of hope, though it's hurtin' me bad
 Eye for an eye, knee for a knee
 You declared war 'cause you don't want peace
 You just want sheep, and we are not asleep
 Blood on your hands, blood on our streets
 Oh, our tears in the night
 Another stolen life
 'Cause color is all you see
 Tell me, is that free? Yeah
 Look all the shit my people been through
 Think I don't want my kids to live too?
 Can't imagine them parents copin'
 In they arms with a breathless body they holdin'
 God bless the tear of every mama cryin'
 Children leave the house wonderin' if today they dyin'
 The nerve to say there's bigger fish worth fryin'
 If you ain't with us, better know we riotin'
 And while you're frontin', you just walk about
 If we ain't fightin' for what's right, then what we talkin' 'bout?
 And while I fight with all my might, now let me sort shit out
 Inspire folks, become the activist they talk about
 Allah blessin' every soul that's fallen
 Snoop Dogg and others told me to accept my callin'
 Prayin' to Jesus hangin' on your wall and
 Black man hopin' he make it home tomorrow mornin'
 Eye for an eye, knee for a knee
 You declared war 'cause you don't want peace
 You just want sheep, and we are not asleep
 Blood on your hands, blood on our streets
 Oh, our tears in the night
 Another stolen life
 'Cause color is all you see
 Tell me, is that free? Yeah
 I wanna know
 Do you really believe?
 Do you really believe that we're free?
 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
 I wanna know
