Lyrics Play Dead - Nick Enaigbe

Black man walking doing nothin'
Cops is shooting guns
Knees is pressed against our lungs
We have nowhere to run
We not safer in the dark
Not safer in the sun
Ain't no justice ever done
They think it's games & fun
We protest & looting funds
Until the war is won
But if I talk about the truth
My record won't get spun
But I won't ever bite my tongue
When evil walks among
All this stress it weighs a ton
It leaves me fucking stunned
Do we gotta play dead to stay alive?
Is that the vibe?
Even when we comply
We see demise
To no surprise
We can not describe the pain we hide
When our brothers die
When cops terrorize we all arise
We can't divide
We the driving force
This our fucking driving course
Am I gonna ride? Of course
And you better ride for yours
I rhyme with cause
And ima' use my time to pour
Whatever's on my mind for sure
On God we gonna find the cure

Stop segregation
Rise as a nation
To stop elevation
Of cop delegation
Stop defamation
Of our recreation
This my dissertation
We will not be forsaken

Stop segregation
Rise as a nation
To stop elevation
Of cop delegation
Stop defamation
Of our recreation
This my dissertation
We will not be forsaken

I fear for my future kids
In this world we live
Will we ever see a change?
Or it's still gon' be this?
I'm tired of turning on the news
Another brother clipped
Something's gotta give
I really had enough of this
I'm tired of being seen as a threat
Cause of my skin color
And my hair nappy
And my clothes flashy
Ain't nothing ever gonna make these hoes happy
Until we a hundred feet deep
In the dirt napping

Stop segregation
Rise as a nation
To stop elevation
Of cop delegation
Stop defamation
Of our recreation
This my dissertation
We will not be forsaken

Stop segregation
Rise as a nation
To stop elevation
Of cop delegation
Stop defamation
Of our recreation
This my dissertation
We will not be forsaken
