| Yeah, yeah
|
| Never turn your back and think everything is just okay
|
| Hear 'em talk but still pay attention to what they don’t say
|
| That’s more important, I hear you though
|
| Uh, yeah, I hear you though
|
| Yeah, I hear you, yeah
|
| Keep my ears open wide, keep my eyes wider, yeah
|
| You never really know what they see inside ya, nah
|
| Who’s really out for your best interests and who’s pretending when
|
| They reach out to show you love that’s never genuine, but
|
| Your intuition tell you who’s for your cause and who’s for your failure
|
| Could be the ones who’s looking real familiar
|
| Backs against the wall causes us all to act defiant
|
| I witness how your country go silent when blacks is dying
|
| I witness how it give and in return, ain’t getting nothing
|
| Since days of a youngin', cops ain’t gave me one reason to trust 'em
|
| It’s not what they say, it’s what they don’t
|
| It’s not what they doin', it’s what they won’t
|
| Yeah, live mobs tryna rile us up
|
| I’m more offended by the ones who stand silent, not speaking loud enough
|
| Yeah, yeah
|
| Never turn your back and think everything is just okay, uh
|
| Hear 'em talk but still pay attention to what they don’t say
|
| That’s more important, I hear you though
|
| Uh, yeah, I hear you though
|
| Yeah, I hear you, yeah
|
| Yeah, gotta ask why they never act for us
|
| It’s more of turning a blind eye and quiet as gag orders
|
| Ignoring the fact, or footage caught on camcorders
|
| Ignoring what happened, perhaps they feeling mad for us, nah
|
| Feeling bad for us, you watching the same wars
|
| You see what I’m seeing fully, still say it never happened
|
| Guess my eyes lying to me, surely feeling exhausted
|
| Uh, with all this talking and all this dearly departed
|
| With brothers that’s getting caught up, ayy, uh
|
| But the silence from so many says a lot
|
| Gotta question it, always part of the plot
|
| Gotta question it, who is calling the shots
|
| Either with us or you not
|
| Gotta watch out for the ones you couldn’t trust
|
| When it’s time to talk the talk, you better keep it on the hush
|
| Yeah, yeah
|
| Never turn your back and think everything is just okay, uh
|
| Hear 'em talk but still pay attention to what they don’t say
|
| That’s more important, I hear you though
|
| Uh, yeah, I hear you though
|
| Yeah, I hear you, yeah |
