[Verse 1: Playboy The Beast]
Time's wastin', I'm done being complacent
I think it's finally time that we've had this conversation
My turn to talk, shut up and don't say shit
Just trying to make it, but y'all lock us in this cage quick
And we can't get a fair shake with these court-appointed lawyers
Even if we go to trial, guarantee they will destroy ya
Some brothers snitchin' while the other's copping pleas
Systematic racism, can't afford them lawyer fees
Black lives matter too, I got a family to feed
But ain't no jobs where I'm from, and I can't get a degree
So I'm about to hit the block and get this shit by any means
'Cause where I'm from there's no such thing as the "American Dream"
Y'all shot my nephew, man I swear he had his hands up
Shot him in the back while he was tryna pull his pants up
That's why I'm yelling "Fuck twelve" with my middle fingers up
We will never trust the system, the government is corrupt
Fuck twelve!
[Bridge 1: Playboy The Beast]
Black lives matter (Black lives matter, black lives matter)
Black lives matter (Black lives matter, black lives matter)
Black lives matter (Black lives matter, black lives matter)
Black lives matter!
[Chorus: Playboy The Beast]
You and I, we don't see eye-to-eye
Though we both bleed red, we on opposite sides (Yeah!)
I recognize that the left divides
The revolution is coming, it won't be televised, no
You and I, we don't see eye-to-eye
Though we both bleed red, we on opposite sides (Yeah!)
I testify that big tech just lies
The revolution is coming, it won't be televised, no
[Verse 2: Playboy The Beast]
Yo, what about my black life? It doesn't matter to you?
You think you've had it bad? I done lived a hard life too
You are not a victim brother, you have been lied to!
Bro we from the same hood, I coulda been like you
Yo, every day I risk my life to make the world a better place
But now they callin' me a traitor, Uncle Tom, and a disgrace?
I put this badge on with pride, it's such a slap in the face
I joined the army, went through training, just to keep y'all safe?
And this the thanks that I get? They wanna lower my pay?
Man fuck that, blue lives matter, I got something to say
I've seen too many good men lose they life for this job
I kiss my kids and give 'em love before I hop in the squad
Every day's another risk, but all I'm fearing is God
I know it's harder where we from, but man, you can defy the odds
We all want the same thing, yet here we stand, so divided
"We the People" stand together, they fear us being united
Back the blue!
[Bridge 2: Playboy The Beast]
Blue lives matter (Blue lives matter, blue lives matter)
Blue lives matter (Blue lives matter, blue lives matter)
Blue lives matter (Blue lives matter, blue lives matter)
Blue lives matter!
[Chorus: Playboy The Beast]
You and I, we don't see eye-to-eye
Though we both bleed red, we on opposite sides (Yeah!)
I recognize that the left divides
The revolution is coming, it won't be televised, no
You and I, we don't see eye-to-eye
Though we both bleed red, we on opposite sides (Yeah!)
I testify that big tech just lies
The revolution is coming, it won't be televised, no
[Verse 3: Playboy The Beast]
Bro, you a sell-out to the hood, don't give a fuck where you from
We all choose our own paths and this the one that I'm on
So don't you ever try to judge me, you ain't walked in my shoes
You think you have but you ain't ever been through what I've been through
Just calm down and let me talk to you son
You need to take accountability for things that you've done
We can't keep making excuses, I came where you come from
If I can make it, you can make it, man just lower that gun
Nah, it's too late for talkin' now
There's no going back, it's death or prison, and fuck that, I'm not going back
If I was white we wouldn't be here and you know that's a fact
This officer's about to kill me just because me skin's black?
Nah, we ain't all bad, and you should know that by now
Man we really don't wanna hurt you, we can work this out
But how do black lives matter if we killin' each other?
This only ends two ways, don't make me do this my brother
[Bridge 3: Playboy The Beast]
All lives matter (All lives matter, all lives matter)
All lives matter (All lives matter, all lives matter)
All lives matter (All lives matter, all lives matter)
All lives matter!
[Chorus: Playboy The Beast]
You and I, we don't see eye-to-eye
Though we both bleed red, we on opposite sides (yeah)
I recognize that the left divides
The revolution is coming, it won't be televised, no
You and I, we don't see eye-to-eye
Though we both bleed red, we on opposite sides (yeah)
I testify that Big Tech just lies
The revolution is coming, it won't be televised, no
[Outro: Playboy The Beast]
Yeah!
Yeah!
Yeah!
All lives matter (All lives matter, all lives matter)
