paroles de chanson You Owe Us (feat. Tamika Mallory) - Sycosis

We are in a state of emergency
Don′t talk to us about looting, Y'all are the looters
Black people are dying in a state of emergency
And So young people are responding to that, they are enraged
And there′s an easy way to stop it

We outside and we all tired and you know why
Same story every news cycle that goes by
Black bodies from Strange Fruit to Cold Blood
Quit playing I'm done saying YOU OWE US
We outside and we all tired and you know why
Same story every news cycle that goes by
Black bodies from Strange Fruit to Cold Blood
Quit playing I'm done saying YOU OWE US
Original, Black Man
Turned to slaves on a ship sent to flat land
From the same Dark City as Batman
Can you read what′s on my mind like a CAT scan
They owe us they know it they time up
I made my mind up to stay on this climb up
Weapons won′t prosper but go ahead and sign up
Get Ye behind us or die in that line up

We telling them yelling and holla
That's why my melanin makes me T′Challa
I am a legend I move like a mannequin
Subtle bring trouble your peace I'm a damage it
You lucky we only kill businesses
How they kill us on cameras with witnesses
We got problems with managing benefits
In this country your skin makes the differences
Government know what they mission is
Push prisons, push violence, push drugs
Try to silence us, label us Thugs
Paint some streets for us that ain′t enough naw
We got major issues with some paid officials
They done shot that boy outside and made a vigil
Said he had a knife, a gun, or was it tissue
Fuck it he was Black and that's enough to issue
What they think of us and what they give you
Not a rapper this is what I live through
They want me dead or in jail
I feel like the head on a nail
But we not gonna stop in these streets
I won′t wait I won't rest sleep on top of the sheets
I want mine, we want ours go and sign that release
You owe us you know it my G
Til then we got beef

We outside and we all tired and you know why
Same story every news cycle that goes by
Black bodies from Strange Fruit to Cold Blood
Quit playing I'm done saying YOU OWE US
We outside and we all tired and you know why
Same story every news cycle that goes by
Black bodies from Strange Fruit to Cold Blood
Quit playing I′m done saying YOU OWE US

We learned violence from you
We learned violence from you
The violence was what we learned from you
So if you want us to do better then damn it you do better
Arrest the cops, charge the cops, charge all the cops
Charge them in every city across America
Where our people are being murdered
Charge them everywhere
Enough is enough, and we are not responsible for the mental illness
That has been inflicted upon our people by the American government
Institutions, and those people who are in positions of Power
