Hate Crime Lyrics by JayEm Riches

0

(Hook)
I lost count today sons are missing they can't get a plate
It hurts your mom in every way
You having nightmares cause they'd rather kill you than to lock away
And might not see another day
So they won't let you out that door till you went and got that kiss first
They could see you for the last time
And they can't even raise their flag cause they gotta raise their fist first
I'll forever say their name this a hate crime
(Verse 1)
This the masterpiece and best believe i camе up ready
I would be a billionaire bеfore i let them niggas have me
Feeling oldskool like it when i see them riding chevys
But I'd rather get the ghost i been dreaming since the fairys
I had to suffer way before i had a telly before i sat in front the TV eating peanut butter jelly
Times got scary like the old times when we used to scream bloody mary in the mirror it was no signs
It's like today injustice is the caption screaming black lives matter but we don't see no action
They will never care they just tryna burn us down to ashes
They done killed Ma'Khia when she was the one that really called em
Being black is a crime now kids can't even play up on the porch hiding when they hear them sirens it's life now
They'll never wipe us out we came from the dirt they tryna put us all in hearses they done told us it's on sight now
Kneeling on his neck smiling at the camera when he told you hundred times i can't breathe i can't breathe
Let em kneel you in that cell and we gone see
I ain't locked still feeling like i ain't free
We really warring with them coppers to remain free
May they settle down that's when we remain peace
I'll forever say their names wear it as a witness
And I'll forever fight it on disguise it as my fitness
(Hook)
I lost count today sons are missing they can't get a plate it hurts your mom in every way
You having nightmares cause they'd rather kill you than to lock away and might not see another day
So they won't let you out the door till you went and got that kiss first
They could see you for the last time
And they can't even raise their flag cause they gotta raise their fist first, I'll forever say their name this a hate crime
(Verse 2)
We suffered from a scar you suffered from success
And you standing with the ones that tryna hate us cause we black
So you a hater too offing niggas walking with a strap
And these badges mean nothing but it supposed to mean respect
And you fearing for your life cause everyday you could be next
Got me shaking when they stopping me i guess my skin a threat
And they wonder why we nervous why dropping lotta sweat
One move and they gon put them holes untill we wet
Now when you growing up daddy gotta learn you don't resist
And even when you don't they gon do you wrong they never miss
Sent you in the bin and they gon have you laying where you piss
Before they kill you there they gon tell you no you won't be missed
And you'd get locked up for a crime but they just get dismissed
And they don't even hurt they don't even get to reminisce
But forgive em tho that's what they insist
I'd rather knock to the ground but that ain't really on my list
My daddy wasn't here never happy fathers day
I had my mom she deserved a present every day
And if he coming back tell him we ain't got no space
Cause i can't stand the pain I used to look at on my momma's face
I remember all them times my heart was in a race
As a youngin seeing all this action as she got replaced
Waiting on the day i get apologies face to face
And if he tryna write it better do it all in upper case
(Hook)
I lost count today sons are missing they can't get a plate it hurts your mom in every way
You having nightmares cause they'd rather kill you than to lock away and might not see another day
So they won't let you out that door till you went and got that kiss first they could see you for the last time
And they can't even raise their flag cause they gotta raise their fist first, I'll forever say their name this a hate crime
