Black Lives Matter Lyrics by King Yella

2016

[Hook]
I do this for my people, live life like a seagull
The blacks and the whites, ain't none of us equal
I'm out here trying to chase it, do this for my fam
Everyday I'm counting bands, y'all don't understand
The whites killing blacks, this shit's fucked up
Police brutality, this shit fucked up
Shit ain't equal they ain't give a fuck
They just trying to kill us, they gonna hang us up
[Verse]
All this black on black crime is fucked up
The white man the real opp, they got us fucked up
I'll never be a statistic to this fucking system
I swear to God, I do it for my kids, my brothers and sisters
I swear to God, I put my hand to the sky
I'mma hold it down, nigga, I'mma change the whole Chi
This shit crazy, they really got us fucked up
All the GDs, all the BDs, all the Vice Lords, Stones
We gonna get along
Go against the real hate, and all this KKK?
I swear to God I hang they ass, lay them on their ass
And I'mma hold it down, I'm the king in my city
And I earned the crown
They got us fucked up for real, got us going crazy
Little kids, young as hell, steady having babies
They put us in the projects, I'm like our death is waiting
Segregated the whole city so we can't get along
Open your eyes, and look, learn and listen
It got us fucked up living in a world of penitentiary
I remember when I caught my case
They shot at me, booked me, and sent my ass upstate
[Hook]
[Outro]
Yeah, man, this deep from the heart, man. I just want to say black lives matter, like, I know I ain't the perfect guy. I been through it all, I done got into it with black people, but that's all they got us around so... but, either you gonna get older and wise up and realize, man, this black on black crime is a something these people got in our heads. They got us all in one area so we can kill each other. The whole city so segregated in Chicago, and I'm quite sure other cities is too. But if we can put the gang to the side, and come together as one, we'll take over. Black lives matter, man, black power, man, all that, man... King Yella
