No Justice, No Peace

No justice, no peace
That's why we out here mobbin' in the streets
No justice, no peace
We won't stop mobbin' 'til our people are released
No justice, no peace
That's why we out here mobbin' in the streets
No justice, no peace
We won't stop mobbin' 'til all our people can breathe

Did you listen when we kneeled at the anthem
No, and y'all couldn't stand him
Blackballed, six years, y'all killed his career
Just because he said "give us rights, not fear"
Another day another black man dying
Black women too, so we protest and riot
Y'all say we mad cuz your country's on fire
's about time, cuz we tired, cuz
Y'all didn't listen when we marched with our hands up
Don't shoot? Found different ways to murder us
We couldn't breathe cuz you strangled us
Melanin wasn't posed to be dangerous
Can't even kick it in our own damn condos
Cops the new gangs how they bust out them shots tho
We've had enough, y'all don't even know
This ain't how it all supposed to go

We've done so much but every day, we still dying
We've come this far but the system says that we lying
No Justice, No Peace
No racist police
They kneeling for the cameras while they killing us in these streets
Raise your fists and march like Dr. King
Our time is now, so lift your voice and sing
No Justice, No Peace
No racist police
We built this country, don't we deserve to be free

Now for some education
This same force, it used to corral slaves
So don't tell me to respect em, cuz homie back in the days
My great grandparents escaped their murderous ways
246 years and we still fighting
246 years and we still dying
246 years, you ain't learned your lesson
Three generations of marching, man that shit is depressing
This right here for Harriet, this here for Dred Scott
This here for the CP5 cuz they went through a lot
This right here for Amadou, this jawn for Sean Bell
This for Trayvon, best believe we giving em hell
For Eric Garner, man, we can't breathe
Until them chains off and we free like Juneteenth
For Mike, Fred and Tamir, we put our fists up in the air
Because injustice here threatens justice everywhere

We've done so much but every day, we still dying
We've come this far but the system says that we lying
No Justice, No Peace
No racist police
They kneeling for the cameras while they killing us in these streets
Raise your fists and march like Dr. King
Our time is now, so lift your voice and sing
No Justice, No Peace
No racist police
We built this country, don't we deserve to be free

Say his name
George Floyd
Say her name
Breonna Taylor
Say his name
Tony Mc
Dade
We cry for you
We couldn't save ya
Open that case
Sandra Bland
Remember that face
Tamir Rice
Can't take his place
Sean Reed
When will it end?
Say his name
Rayshard Brooks
Korryn Gaines
Say his name
David Mc
Atee
We cry for you
Too many names
Open that case
Too many names
Remember that face
Too many names
Can't take his place
Too many names!

When will it end?

We've done so much but every day, we still dying

No justice, no peace
Day and night, we still mobbin' in the streets
No justice, no peace
We won't stop 'til all of us are free
