[Verse 1: FL]
Dimly lit Streets
Candle lit vigils for peace
Riot gear outfitted police
Tear gas, smoke bombs, plenty tasers released
Tactical weapons on standby, they're playing for keeps
Seeing tanks on the boulevards in Ferguson
Treating protest like commotion and disturbances
You would think that communism was around suburbia
The way that people that supposed to help us, really hurting us
Out here giving purpose to the merciless
I watched republicans crowdfund the murderous 2 times
Proverbial noose tie
This sh** is so unfair
My nervousness too high
It's turbulence up here
People on TV kicking all this dust up
MSNBC missing the facts all f**ed up
Black people in the power circle all puffed up
Al Sharpton on the case, but I ain't seen none much
Cause what about Renisha McBride?
What about John Crawford?
Neither of them got light
Man this sh** so awkward
Yeah this sh**'s a problem
Cops ain't switched their posture
And that boy Ezell Ford story's just like Oscar's
Damn

[Verse: FL]
I heard illegal choke holds, get you nice desk jobs
Paid vacations, time to reflect on
Lil' name change on FaceBook deflect some
But not all, answer the call of oppression
Media spins on all of your 1st impressions
Dig deeper, take what you see with discretion
Blue on black crime, who gon' get in between
My president black but even he won't come intervene
When he gone, what it mean?
Next I lose my rights?
Then I'm gon' lose the fight
I've been battling through my life?
Trying to manage, reduce the plight
Take a stand for my views despite
How they change me later
But I got love for haters
They call it thug behavior and try to justify it
Even with camera footage man, they'll just deny it
Damn
So I just disconnect sometimes
From 1-10 when the stress on 9
