Lyrics Why - Jeff the Motivator

Somebody please tell me why why
They steady taking our lives lives
They wonder why we riot riot
All we want is equal rights rights
Somebody please tell me why why
They steady taking our lives lives
They wonder why we riot riot
All we want is equal rights rights

As a mother of young black kids
Feels like I'm still at war
See I'm a Veteran
Risked my life for this country
And they still don't hear me
I worry about my sons playing ball
Not at peace with daughters walking around the mall
Can't even jog down the street in peace
Knee on my neck (deep breath)can't breathe

Somebody please tell me why why
They steady taking our lives lives
They wonder why we riot riot
All we want is equal rights rights
Somebody please tell me why why
They steady taking our lives lives
They wonder why we riot riot
All we want is equal rights rights

Somebody tell me when does it stop
Black men black women killed at an all time high
By a cop that's suppose to serve and protect
Somebody tell me when
When does it stop when

Somebody tell me why 400 years of bondage ain't enough
Somebody tell me why the color of your skin makes you a target in this world
I guess it's something I will never understand
Off the backs of my ancestors this land was built
And we still treated less than a human
By now I thought you would see
We are chosen and can't be deleted or defeated
It's time for a change and the time is now Jeff The Motivator

Somebody please tell me why why
They steady taking our lives lives
They wonder why we riot riot
All we want is equal rights rights
Somebody please tell me why why
They steady taking our lives lives
They wonder why we riot riot
All we want is equal rights rights
