Wright the Wrongs

One nigga two nigga

Dead nigga blue nigga

Say his name Daunte Wright

All because justice never punished Zimmerman right

Fucked up country killing us outta spite

Treating each incident as if no precedent lies in sight

Why do we still need to go on trial to live?

Why do the streets mumble boys will be boys but black kids can never be kids?

Murdering us and our reputation by calling us fatherless

But this shit go back to the plantation nevertheless

Been stealing niggas since they found out what thieving was

But they had to separate and conquer as they knew we had God in us

Dividing our people

Separate but still equal

Because no matter where you put a Black man in society 

They will still denounce you and view you as their property

So when the Blacks walk out on the streets it's hunting season 

Because to some skin color qualifies as a good enough reason 

To assassinate me and my brethren

As if this the sequel to Splice and Black folks a subspecies call us Dren as we’re filled with adrenaline 

Hoping this ain’t the day where we must face our end

They identify as pro life but 

Do not extend the courtesy to the 

Ones alive

As I cannot simply exist while Black after all this time

I can't walk to the stores to get Skittles

Or sit in my car and read

I can't look out the window

Or even fall asleep

Asking for help is out of the question

After the first three I learned that lesson

No riding in a car

No walking

No parties

No shopping

I must never sell anything again

And sorry I missed your call but I cannot even have a phone my friend

For no matter what I do

I am subject to getting killed and forgotten

If my killer wears blue

Because a heavy gun 

And a bright yellow taser are the same

Because police reform won’t do a damn thing

If a knee in my neck is protocol

The racism is systemic, but their minds are systematic

As it’s always the same outcome when they pull out that automatic

Using Ronald as a plug

Craving McDonald’s to fill us up

Because they don’t want us to have access to Whole Foods

They don’t want us to have the same resources they do

For even when it don’t involve the police 

We still can’t receive peace 

Or empathy

Just think

Please

One nigga two nigga

That dead nigga? 

What if that was you nigga?
