BITE BACK

Lyrics

I saw like four, five, police cars on the 405
 Fly by in code
 Three time to hold the line
 They see the weapon in you
 No sudden moves if you do
 Our very bodies are shotties
 Wait 'til we use our minds
 Woke up this morning
 To people mourning
 Another brother they murdered just as a warning
 That if we speak up
 About how they treat us
 They'll do it over and over
 Until we bite back
 This time we bite back
 So let's bite them back
 This time we bite back
 They'll do it over and over
 Until we bite back
 Fuck forgiveness, god's a witness and she has seen it all
 That's your Jesus
 Those light features don't look like me at all
 I want more pictures of we
 In books that teach history
 I want to be there when the final racist statue falls
 Woke up this morning
 To people mourning
 Another sister, we miss her
 Tensions are soaring
 This time we speak up
 Make sure they see us
 They just gon' beat us, won't feed us
 Until we bite back
 This time we bite back
 So let's bite them back
 This time we bite back
 They'll do it over and over
 Until we bite back
 ♪
 That gospel for which you have and
 Continue to benefit from is the curse
 By which we continue to be destroyed
 So please
 Please stop preaching that painful privilege gospel
 And let us live free
 Free of the anxiety we experience
 Knowing our bodies will be targeted and destroyed
 As if to serve as a symbol of the power
 They have convinced us we do not possess
 Our beautiful bodies like trophies
 Paste upon the mantle of a collapsing structure
 But we are the fucking trophies
 And we are the fucking make this stop
 Let's fucking bite back
 This time we bite back
 So let's bite them back
 This time we bite back
 They'll do it over and over
 Until we bite back
 This time we bite back
 Let's fucking bite back
 This time we bite back
 They'll do it over and over
 Until we bite back
 Bite back
