CAN WE LIVE

Devious copers still up to no good we witnessing violence
You bound to see it you come from the hood
A simple encounter don't always play out the way that it should
Its always a challenge end up deadly it probably could
Damn can we live without the fear of being profiled
Can we live guilty cop cases always thrown out
Still we live in a time where issues don't get addressed
You outta place they at your place and place you under arrest
Probable cause Snatch you out of your car
Ain't got no weapon Holler weapon
Reach for weapons and draw They get a slap on the wrist and
You get permanent scars Or even worse family members take a
Permanent loss Two times I was the case of mistaken identity
I'm alive but both times could've been the ending of me
Many times, other brothers get different endings from me
Traumatized, your body tense before they even say freeze
Damn, you bound to live it, nobody's exempt
Can't even hide behind tent, more reason to reel them in
Questioning whereabouts, where you going and where you been
Playing foul, no cameras out, they might place evidence
Watching over shoulders for shadows of white privilege
Ones who enforce the law but work outside of the system
Crazy how they live, no repercussions at all
I wonder if we'll ever see true equality, dawg
Can we live?
