Black Lyrics by Maez301

Hello, Goodbye

2021

[Cop skit]
Do you know why I'm pullin’ you over?
Keep your hands where I can see 'em
License and registration, please
Ninety-niner we're gonna need backup on 45th and Ocean
I repeat
We’re gonna need backup on 45th and Ocean
Okay!

[Verse 1]
Hello Mr. Officer
You asked why we here today
Was it maybe drivin' a little too fast? Or did you just have sometching you wanted to ask?
Is it because of my whip? Is it because of my chains?
Is it because you know when young nigga gettin' dough, you wanna make it a thing?
Is it because I'm traveling? And your daughtеr's in the passenger sеat?
Hey
Is it because I'm dark? You wanna make my life harder?
Simply because I be, L.A. down to the C, okay apparently
Because I'm me, it's hard for me to breathe
It’s somethin’ I ain't choose, somethin’ I can't see
I thought that I was free

[Hook]
Is it because I'm black?
Is it because that I-
You say it's ’cause of this, we both know it's 'cause of that
That you wanna attack
I spent all my time (yeah yeah)
Just tryin' to fight the fight
For you to come take my life
(Oh no, no no, no no)
(Oh no, no no, no no)

[Verse 2]
It all started on a summer day, heat blazin' in the streets
To my surprise, federales skrrt up on me
He said that "It's the way you lean back in the seat"
I mean "What that mean? That's the standard routine"
Now my license and registration, got him makin' small talk just for conversation
He said "That's a nice car, what's your occupation?"
"How 'bout Alma Mater, where'd you get your education?
The whip brainless"
"The truth is that you fit the description"
I act like I'm shocked as I look at my pigment
He said "Step out, this'll just be a minute"
Now the handcuffs got him automatically friskin'
What's the motive? What's the mood? What the mood is?
Could you loosen, got my wrist bruisin'
I'm in cuffs now, I was just cruisin'
He look at me like "You better stop movin'"
Mind racin', sweatin' bullets now
You could see the sweat drippin' down
A normal day of me just ridin' round
His backup pulled up to pat me down
Me on my back, now I'm on the ground
My life flashed 'fore my eyes, I couldn't hear a sound
(No no, no no)
(Oh no, no no, no no)
(Oh no)

[Hook: Maez301 & Cop]
Is it because I'm black?
(I said "License and registration" son)
Is it because that I-
(Keep your hands where I can see 'em)
You say it's 'cause of this, we both know it's 'cause of that
(Don't move?)
That you wanna attack
(P-p-put your hands where I can see 'em)
I spent all my time (yeah yeah)
(Get out of the car, step out of the car)
Just tryin' to fight the fight
(Goddammit, back up, I need backup, NOW)
For you to come take my life
(Hey son, don't move)
*Gunshots*
*Girl screaming*
(Dammit son, why didn't you comply?)
