Things Never Change

Sirens wailing, lights flashing, He says pull over

Colours of America's flag causing paranoia

When was the last time your seen an officer getting punished

For a murder he committed acting as if he run shit

Yeah, it's been a while, if it's really ever happened

We supposed to be movin on, but we been reading the book backwards

Revisiting chapters that really should be forgotten

Pull over to the side, ask the officer "Is there a problem"

No none at all, just doing my job,

You ain't do nothing wrong, but put your hands up

Exit the car so we can search it

Hold up dawg, ain't you need some type of permit

He gets angry, pulls his gun out of his holster and aims

Straight for the brain, he could kill off these niggas with ease

For going 50 in a 35, open your eyes, nigga just stay alive

Don't die in this very spot and make your momma cry

Instead of parking tickets niggas are getting exterminated

They clearly dying without cause, so why are lawyers debating

Just cause he got a badge and some flashing lights

Doesn't mean he's got the right to another's life

But that's just the way they be making it seem

People slowly forgetting bout Mr. Luther King's dream

Why have we had to fight just so we lay on the same grass

Use the same washrooms and drink out of the same glass

 

They same time always ticks

shit always stays the same

doesn't matter the era or the moment

Shit never changes

yeah, Shit never changing

yeah, shit never changing

 

They same time always ticks

shit always stays the same

doesn't matter the era or the moment

Shit never changes

yeah, Shit never changing

yeah, shit never changing
