[Verse 1: Julius]
How did I get here? I gotta sit here
Gettin' detained, somebody explain
Man, this shit here is crazy
Look, I ain't wearing a ratchet, dammit
Just wanted to ride on the Bay Area rapid transit
What's that you say? Lay flat on the platform?
Officer, why you got your knee in my back for?
I ain't resisting arrest, ain't trynna fight aggressively
You disagree, define 'resist' and 'arrest' to me
Cause this is not arrest to me, this cop is not arresting me
He's wrestling me, this type of force is beyond excessive, see
Why you decide to mess with me? Treating me like an insect
Cause me and an insect share the same type of life expectancy?
I'm the quiet type, quite polite, my type of life
Ain't on no violent path, analyse my trajectory
Okay, you search me up and down, ain't found no type of weaponry?
At this point, shouldn't my damn rights be read to me?
Whoever you're looking for, I assure you it's not me
Ah, shit; damn you shot me?? Damn, you shot me?
[Verse 2]
I'm just walking down the street, yup, ever so care-free
Trynna taste the rainbow, snackin' on my candy
I ain't got no enemies, so nobody thinks of harmin' me
I'm peaceful, any gang activity I ain't involved with, see
My hoodie's on but my face ain't hard to see
My sweater's neither black or white, it's grey
Symbol of racial harmony
But I hear a noise, I look over my shoulder
I hear footsteps, they get closer and closer
I see a male figure of Caucasian descent
But I don't recognize him, my heart's racin' a bit
Will he start chasin' me if I jog or
Start taking a different direction?
Man, these thoughts makin' me tense
I'm just a teenager, not old enough for beer yet
Can't grow a beard yet, so it's understandable
If I feel a piercing fear when I hear steps
Behind me, I fear death, spin around like a pirouette
Now I'm facing this dude, I'm thinking like
"What's up with you, man?"
Too skinny to tussle with you man, what's your issue, man?
I shouldn't be scared in this neighbourhood watch community
Damn, I figured with neighbourhood watch comes unity
Whoever you're lookin' for, I assure you it's not me
Ah, shit; damn, you shot me?? Damn, you shot me?
[Verse 3]
Me and my homeboy just strollin'
Walkin', finna hit the store
Out for a quick trip, like we always did before
Police officers stop us, I'm like
"Damn, I wonder what this is for?"
He said somethin' like "Freeze" or
"Hands Up" or "Hit the Floor"
When did I sign up to get racially profiled?
Show me the documents, am I missing forms or misinformed?
Our hands up, me and my partner unarmed
Come on, don't shoot, we ain't doin' nobody no harm
Yo, whoever you lookin' for, I assure you it's not me
Ah, shit; damn, you shot me?? Man, you shot me?
[Verse 4]
Wait, let's stop, G
Let me break it up, let me stop the narrative
All these cops embarassin' us, are we not American?
Let me speak to this killer cop in Ferguson
Missouri is in misery because of you murderin'
That young kid, come on, you ain't have to kill son
You need to change, I'm daring you to have the will, son
If cops killin' innocent niggas then I'm alarmed
I can name a few more who died at arms
There's Eric Garner in New York; John Crawford, Ohio
They both died weeks apart, hold up, I got more
Ezell Ford, Dante Parker, they lived in Cali
We gotta do more than just a fuckin' simple rally
Make you wanna get trigger happy
Fuck a candle light vigil, I'm anti-vigil, I'm a vigilante
I am Mike Brown, but spell my "Mike" "M-I-C"
I'm givin' the deceased a way to speak right now
Bite my tongue, no, I assure you that's not me
Who gone aim at change and take a shot? Me
Take a shot? Me
[Bridge]
Yo, this blue on Black crime
Man this blue on Black crime
Blue on Black crime
Man this blue on Black crime
Cops shoot the Black kind
Like they used to do in past times
Like, that's what you do to pass time?
Man this blue on Black crime
Yo, this blue on Black crime
Blue on Black crime
Man this blue on Black crime
Cops shoot the Black kind
Look how it ruins black lives
Man this blue on Black crime
I ain't cool with that
You cool with that? Fine...
