Expect Us Lyrics by Slyrex

2014

Skit 1

Hook
You will RESPECT US
You will RESPECT US
You will RESPECT US
You will RESPECT US
Let the world NEGLECT US
But you will RESPECT US
At the very least you better expect us

Verse 1
When we ride out in silence
Watching all the violence
In a world where we'd rather face gangs than the cops and
It's a toxin invading the streets
We all watched the news unable to eat
Sinking (sinking) sinking (sinking)
Sinking (sinking), we might drown
Tryna pipe down till we saw Mike Brown filled with 5 rounds
Adjusting the mic sounds
Y'all tryna debate the amount of bullets
Instead of being pissed that he shot more than once
Mike Brown is Emit Till
And Darren Wilson can die slow, UH
From peace to pieces
We need allegiance
The dream I see it, it stays away
So we coming for the neck
PSA to the cops and the KKK
We gon ride today, sorry MLK
But you're the proof
We can pull our pants up & put our hands up, we'll still get sniped from the roof
Hype in the news till we find that a noose is around our neck
And that life that we lose is another casualty, it's so exciting
No more rights and, no indictment
What a life that we're forced to live
One less damn than the courts will give
Let em bust caps but we can't bust back, they don't want that
So we forced to give
Our lives to the people that see us as less
We want retribution but need our respect
Give em no mercy, put 3 in the chest
We're what you need to expect
You will respect us

Verse 2
Respect us now and I'll return the favor
Spark to the flame putting pen to the paper
Trust me, I ain't got no love for the system
They take what they want and we cannot resist em
So just wait, cause our vengeance will come
Show no respect and you will receive none
This isn't a matter of color of skin
The real enemy is the badge and the gun
Ooh, I can't leave it alone
Times getting hard turning ? into stone
Claiming they did it for guts and the glory
That's easy to say with one side of the story
According to them, they can give us a new fate
The same way Harvey Dent turned to TwoFace
Holding us down so we're forced to move weight
Got me twisted, walking on a hanging shoelace
Gotta use hate
But we can't do that if we're still walking blindly
This emptiness inside me
Won't go away till I put the past behind me
United we stand and divided we fall
Hands in the air and our backs on the wall
United we stand and divided we fall
Give us our freedom or nothing at all
