This Weather Got Me Fucked Up (Basketball JOne$ Remix)

This Weather Is Still Fucked Up BBJ REMIX VER 2

I see you my brother.
I see that you would kill my sisters and brothers,
with your brothers in blue.

They have separated me from you.
They have ripped us apart.

They have put fear and hate in your heart
that you would wear this badge,
wield these weapons
on our people
day 
after 
day 
after 
day 
after 
day 
after 
day 
after
day 
after 
day
after 
day

I can't 
say her name 
enough times to make it stop.
I can't say their names enough times to make it stop.

You, my brother 
I see you.
I see your weapons, 
I see your badge, 
I see your uniform, 
I see your smirk
Unforgivable.

and You are in there
And I still love you Fiercely.

I am still held
when you are not.
I am sourcing all of my love-
all of my love, all of our ancestors, the elements, the moon, 
this fly on my face
as I stare into your eyes
I am ready to die so we can all be free.
I want you free, too.

I love you
and I will Never be able to trust you
when you are wearing blue.

I See You My Brother. Take off your Blue.

You can't say Black Lives Matter
cuz you've been made to believe you don't matter
if not attached to the system that shatters-
family after family after family after family,
hearts after hearts,
ecosystems- broken parts.

Get on both knees, and offer the Earth your dis-ease.
Pray and listen, 
confess, cry.
Let your tears glisten
and flow,
until you see brand new.
Til you see and move thru
all the ways they've hijacked you.

I am here with you.
My brother,
take off your blue.
