Текст песни American Dream - Da Kid Premonition

So heavily medicated
To handle all the pressure and depression of tryna make it
Tryna find a reason why just living is complicated
Tired of hearing black folks on a daily assassinated
Victimized if you despise my skin cuz it's melanated
When we say we matter how the fuck you get agitated
We say our lives are precious but you'll find a way to debate it
Ignoring that a life was lost and publicly desecrated
That pledge y'all tried to teach us lied and we was all one nation
But where is the unity
Steady tryna find these differences between you and me
What make it easier for you to safely walk down the street
Ignoring that your privilege grants you passive immunity
Ya mama never warns you to be leery of the police
Never has to worry if you're laying cold in the street
Never has to wonder what they'll say in ya eulogy
If a cop decides today's the day he'll murder you brutally
So when does it end
How many have to die just for the tone of their skin
How many have to perish to make you understand
What's it gonna take for you to hear what we saying
Cuz I swear we tired of burying our loved ones and friends
Don't act like you our ally if it's just for a trend
While you quietly absolve these Murderers of their sins
History repeats itself
Can't even watch the news without events history foretells
Another POV of POCs meeting bullet shells
From trigger happy racists itching to leave a soul expelled
Don't preach about compliance cuz I'll tell you to go hell
Cuz we ain't taking orders officers wouldn't take themselves
Not even safe where we rest our heads
No reason why these traffic stops so commonly end in death
It fills us with anxiety to see those lights flashing red
Cuz it's unknown if this the day we're forced to draw our last breath
We're a nation divided
Tell me who decided
In this hateful climate
That our anger's misguided
Press conference liars
Covering they hides and
Saying that they sorry no remorse in their eyes
I know this falling on deaf ears
I know that you don't give af when we profess our fears
You change the channel when you see a mother shedding tears
Can't even protest peacefully without an interference
Why we seen as evil
Why we not ya equal
How I'm posed to sit in silence while you slay my people
That oath you took don't give an instant right to being lethal
Especially if you can't tell ya tasers not a pistol
Its time to make a change
Don't sit back idly and watch or country stay the same
Said ya homie black should wanna do the right thang
Go to War wit us and call the evil by its name
If you gone make excuses save ya breath and just refrain
But you can't get upset you because only got yaself to blame
When the American dream go down in burning flames
That seem to be the only way you hear our cries of pain
Just wanna live in peace
The violence to cease
To not be fearful when I'm driving next to the police
To not be murdered when I'm jogging on suburban streets
Or when I'm walking home with candy and a sweet tea
