[Chorus]
To long black people been oppressed(I’m angry)
We put in numerous request (I’m angry)
About time emotions are expressed(I’m angry)
We have the right to protest(I'm angry)

To long black people been oppressed(I’m angry)
We put in numerous request (I’m angry)
About time emotions are expressed(I’m angry)
We have the right to protest(Sick of this mess)(I'm angry)

I’m angry, this ain’t no sad sweet song
Other people make music about getting along
Not directing this at everybody, they know who they are
What they been doing is far past wrong(Yeah)

Cops love to take black people's lives away
I thank God, count it as a blessing I’m alive today
Man says he can’t breath, kneeling on him anyway
People can’t do nothing but record and watch him suffocate (Woo!)
Handcuffed, pleading for his life there was no escape
Police, in case you didn’t know y'all making big mistakes
Black people fighting back we gone make the earth shake
May 25th, *one of the important dates

Jacob Blake another victim, no they didn’t take his life
Shot in the back 7 times left him paralyzed so in a way they took his life
Had kids in the back too, 8/23 another date to keep in mind

Breonna Taylor, that’s a whole other fight
Shot in her home in the middle of the night
Officer still ain't charged, shot her through the blinds
Went against policy that say they need a line of sight

Tryna live, work with the pay we getting
Ops bring inequality the way they killing
Parents tryna provide for family feed 'em
But cops tryna make the bullets fill 'em (okay)

I’m only 16 and sick of this mess
Seen my mom get pulled over and I been through the stress
What other race teaches lil kids to freeze, put your hands up
Don’t run cause a cop will put hole in your chest

What other race get pulled over, too afraid to sneeze
Cuz if you do it maybe the last time you breathe
Cops draw their guns before they get to the window
Wait for you to make a sudden move so they can squeeze
To long black people been oppressed(I’m angry)
We put in numerous request (I’m angry)
About time emotions are expressed(I’m angry)
We have the right to protest(I’m angry)(Woo!)
[Chorus]
To long black people been oppressed(I’m angry)
We put in numerous request (I’m angry)
About time emotions are expressed(I’m angry)
We have the right to protest(I’m angry)

(Done)
