Change - Juveyel, Jadakiss, Tish Hyman

Restrained face down with a so-called spit hood over his head

Minutes later he was unconscious

Seven days later Prude died after being taken off life support at the

hospital

The medical examiners office ruled his death a homicide

Now Rochester residents are demanding answers

These cops killin niggas like we animals

Some white people act like they ain’t understandin us

Man how the fuck you ain’t understandin us when it’s a video every week of how

they mishandle us

They say stop resisting

Correct me if I’m wrong but resisting is a charge how you gone catch a charge

if you ain’t livin?

Shits ridiculous

Stop the shootin we a stop the lootin

More of a Malcolm X approach we tried Martin Luther

Takin babies away from mothers

Man how long we gotta suffer?

I got a son on the way

I gotta teach ‘em to obey like a slave

Or they’ll kill ‘em where he lay

Too many tears mama cried a whole lake

How much water till the levee gone break

Put on the Devil shoes

Put on the Devil shoes

No more asking for reparations

We gotta take it

We gotta take it

The world the world

RIP to Daniel Prude I ain’t tryna start a feud

Imagine if the roles reverse and we started killin you

(Oh my God)

Scary sight I could imagine

But this the type of shit that shouldn’t happen

(Anytime)

Oh I see action respect action

How you stand over his body and you laughing?

Shit is tragic

See if you not a felon you should register ya weapon

Cause all we got is us for protection

No more asking for reparations

We gotta take it

We gotta take it

The world the world

They tell us to vote I’m not sure though

(Not sure)

I think I’m ready to go to war though

(Ready)

Over the dollar bills and euros

The police killings are now plural

(Too many) 

Education and healthcare

(Yes)

No more section 8 and welfare

(Uh uh)

Use your resources its help there

What we need to learn to practice is self-care

(Facts)

Single mothers home schooling

Ain’t no Wi-Fi they home coolin

(Light up)

Who suffers?

the child does

(Damn)

This is nothing to be proud of

(Nah)

They say it starts in the household

If they don’t kill you they beat you until you out cold

Police say you offended the officer

(Damn)

One question how so

Too many tears mama cried a whole lake

How much water till the levee gone break

Put on the Devil shoes

(Put ‘em on)

Put on the Devil shoes

(Put ‘em on)

No more asking for reparations

(No more)

We gotta take it

We gotta take it

The world the world
