Convinced

Uh, check it I got a couple of things on my brain

Niggers tell me what to do now that’s insane

I walk out in the streets and see these people switching lanes

Because of my skin, I'm not allowed to complain

To all of "MY" people I say stand up

Arrest me if you want but this shit will become corrupt

If I can't breath doesn't seem like danger

I'm sorry officer but I will have to interrupt

 

You say you save peoples lives

But nigger please we all know that's lies

Just saying hello trying to be polite

Next thing you know I'm saying my goodbyes

Hands in his pockets, suddenly he's got some knives

What you don't realise is your wasting his life

Time with his children, and time with his wife

"I love you daddy sleep well goodnight"

 

I'm trying to tell you we've done nothing wrong

Telling me "Fuck of to where you belong"

What's the need cuz, were'e human all along

The same as you If i'm from Hong Kong

Telling me "Fuck of to where you belong"

You trying to put me doing but I'm too strong

Cause of all this shit that's been here far too long

Just be careful cause I'm never wrong

 

Please Lord I'm trying to change this game

Cause one day "MY" people will not be contained

Cause one day shit will never be the same

You beat us to death just to be entertained

Just a fine for murder is fucking insane

But stealing a purse 30 years that I can't gain

Back for my self to live life without pain

Can't say some shit cause I CBA to explain

 

We need to show, that this shit is bad

I lost someone close to me who I called Dad

He looks like another criminal so police had to attack

Even when money and P was all he had

A family he lost cause his complexion was black

He's now on the floor about to collapse

Screaming "I can't breath" while in a choke hold

A man lost his life cause police are uncontrolled

 

Never knew the law could be like this

People same as you but you don't want them exist

It's even hard for me to know where to even begin

But deep within were exactly the same

So all these people shouldn't be living with all this pain

I stand up, get arrested and it's unexplained

What i'm trying to tell you is were all the same

There ain't no difference, you shouldn't be ashamed

 

Now do you see what i'm trying to tell you

Cause you really don't know what your getting me into

Please officer you might have to review

You've made a mistake by saying "Nigger fuck you"

I deserve to be here the home town I was raised in

Just cause of my skin I ain't different what you sayin

He looks like that criminal so maybe he's the twin

This is the only way I will get you convinced
