When They See Us Lyrics by Montae Montana

AmeriKKKan Muscle II: The Extra Mile

2019

[Verse: Montae Montana]
This that kicked back kickin rocks while you walk down the street
Moms in the kitchen fixin something to eat
She just worked 12 hours know she’d rather be sleep
But when I grow up I'ma set her ass free
Cousins raised as siblings but we ain’t know the difference
Before we knew the game we was out on a mission
It’s all over your pigment they take a special interest
So hold ya head high son, you gotta pay attention
That’s one lesson that she never failed to mention
Stop look listen, they don’t need evidence to lock you up inside a prison
You gotta keep a distance, they frame you for a crime you ain’t committed
Momma always told me never trust the police
Then I got a lil older now I see what she mean
Cause the Central Park 5 easily could be me
You know you can’t believe all of what you see on TV
Learned that early I recall not knowing what I should think
I know that life can take a turn all before you can blink
And even restitution couldn’t pay back the price
Cause you can’t put a tag on 12 years of your life
This story would be news if we was in '89
30 years later and its opening eyes
Shoulda learned this in school instead of streaming online
Force they history on me but the tryna burn mine
[Hook]
Pay attention nigga gotta know the game
Them boys tripping mane they think we all the same
Different day same story nigga you can turn the page
They rather see us all inside a cage
It’s time to break the chains
Took us all to the station, that’s where they leave us
All of us in question, they don’t believe
How they view us?
They dont look at us the same when they see us
How they do us?
Like we cannot feel the pain how they treat us
Pay attention nigga gotta know the game
Them boys tripping mane they think we all the same
Different day same story nigga you can turn the page
They rather see us all inside a cage
It’s time to break the chains
Took us all to the station, that’s where they leave us
All of us in question, they don’t believe us
