40 Acres and a Mule

about

I just want answers why this senseless shit keeps happening.

lyrics

Keep you’40 acres and mule
Just Tell me why police keep killing our black youths
cops shooting dudes
For not obeying rules
That could be me too
And mama ain’t raise no fool
They get a slap on a wrist
And laugh at this shit
Black families
Get caskets and tombs
Some get cash
But that can’t patch up the wound
an eye for an eye wont bring them back
Back to the womb
It’s 2021
How many sons
We got to lose
We at war
And they teaching is propaganda at schools
Its check mate before we even make a move
They playing games
And stay changing the rules
Is it their job to protect and serve
Or abuse
I’m sorry a little confused
Im not trying to get shot
Unless they taking bout the flu
just tired of watching the news
That’s the god damn truth


Mentally
We locked in chain
the media profit from pain
And misery drop on like rain
Can you blame us
For Popping some things
The obstacles in our way
Grow strong by the days
It’s hell on earth
And able Cain
Brother fighting brothers
Over laws
That’s Man made
What’s going on like
Why the hell we have a hard life
struggle is real
been a long fight
Didn’t huckle berry paint the picket fence all white
When you building up walls we all lose sight
Then get shown lies on the news nights
And you wonder why the citizens
Stay Wrapped so tight
And it only takes a spark
To blow Dynamite
And that fuse
Get lit
When we loose a life
I’ll change my attitude
When they gets right
