[Verse 1: YXVNGLXRD]
Uh, I'm screaming please don't shoot bruh
Cus i just wanna see my future
Had dreams of a family
Had dreams of a college degree
All i wanted was to go home
But i got caught with my hoodie
Innocent with iced tea, the lemon scent in the cop car with nikes
No witnesses so the cops say that it might be
The murderer that's innocent and obviously guilty
Of shooting firearms while he's neighborhood watching
I never stopped to think and realize who's watching
And now i realize what is wrong with this country
The color of my skin doesnt always define me
The prejudice stereotype of a black kid
You never know i couldve been the next black president
Instead I'm on the news right now and I'm heaven sent
[Hook] (x2)
Black Kids of Amerikkka (x3)
Yea we just Black Kids of Amerikkka, Uh (x1)
I never thought any day could be the end of it
Even if i was a criminal or innocent
No more days to be even eager or sin a sin
Pick up a book a pencil or even a pen
School was fun but now I'm gone so i can't think again
My heart is hungry but I'm gone so i can't eat again
My brain is empty but I'm gone so i can't dream again
I never thought i'd lose my life at 17 man
What happened to that dream speech that Dr. King had
He said that everybody was supposed to be equal
But now I'm dead and gone face to face with Jesus
I guess im the example of black people
So keep hoping and wishing you make another day
You never know you might see me one day
So give it up this whole planet's a cold world
Keep ya hoodies on cus it getting colder
[Hook]
