They gone tell me be quiet, they gone say I'm stirring up the pot
They gone say I'm too emotional, they gone say I need to calm down 
Usually I hold it in, I don't wanna mess the paper up
I don't wanna be too aggressive, that could make you uncomfortable 
But do you know what that feel like, handcuffed scared for you life 
Pray to God he ain't had a bad day, this could be your very last night 
This so exhausting, Lord knows we tired 
They say wait for the facts like I can't believe my eyes 
Wake me up from this nightmare. Tell me that this ain't true 
Do black men have rights, Do black men bear the image of God too
Cause if we do, then tell me, why we always get shot down 
Why we can't get a trial date, Why is death the only answer now 
I know that it's good cops, word to officer Fitzgerald at my church 
But tell me why the bad cops never get to see the justice system work 
But I know the Lord still just, and I know he still love us
But I'm starting feel in America 
The justice system means just us

And I don't have no explanation, I'm just hurt
And I know that it's complicated, but it still hurts 
If we supposed to be free, why it feel like chains hanging on me x8

Listen homie keep your head up, yea I know you prolly fed up
It feel like they ain't hearing us, feel like they only fearing us 
All I know is that we hear today, there's a God and he feel our pain 
All I know is every time we pray, he'll be there to wipe our tears away 
We are more than criminals, we are more than imbeciles
Our fathers ain't all dead beats, we ain't all thugging in the streets 
The Land of opportunity is only for the ones with opportunity 
We just trying to catch up, years after slavery
All that I'm saying, is it's complicated and I don't get all of it 
But all that I know is this pain in my heart, oh yea I feel all of it 
I know the Lord still just, and I know he still love us
But I'm starting feel in America 
The justice system means just us

And I don't have no explanation, I'm just hurt
And I know that it's complicated, but it still hurts 
If we supposed to be free, why it feel like chains hanging on me x8
