Noah Bentley - No Chill lyrics
[Intro: lockwood.] How you take something so pure As a human life And make it endure All this pain and strife? [Verse 1] They see my mood and then they ask me what my problem is Its always on the news, but they just won't acknowledge it Its easier to get rap sheets than scholarships I guess that's why this country's got more prisons than colleges And planned parenthood's k**ing children on the DAILY And the government is funding them like man this sh** is crazy How they asking me the reason for the way I'm feeling lately While they're selling off the body parts of those aborted babies And CNN confirmed Cliff Huxtable's a rapist NBC said Donald Trump about to rule the nation But really you can miss me dawg if you watch FOX news Cuz the sh** that they be spitting is fiction, its not true Really its not cool with your racist disposition I don't believe that Sandra Bland hung herself in that prison I know that I'm a rapper and I'm not a politician I'm just tired of believing what lies on the the television [Hook] *news clips* (Chant) No chill, no chill, no chill [Verse 2] Crooked cops will find any reason to k** us I won't believe that Mike Brown died over some swishers I can't accept Eric Garner lost breath over cigarettes Won't get no rest till its justice for all my n***as So I'm crying over Oscar Grant and Tamir Rice And also John Crawford III ain't commit no crimes I'm praying to forgive their k**ers, yeah they all need Christ But every time I wear a hoodie, I see Trayvon's eyes Man…somebody bout to catch a fade like Steve Smith My auntie said I'm filled with rage, I need to repent I told her every single day, you know my knees bent I'm really feeling on a mission, I won't relent People just like me out here dying on the weekly Fake friends just don't know what its like to be me Cuz really if you did, you wouldn't tell me take it easy But I guess for other people, these just stories on the TV True [Hook 2] *news clips* (Chant) No chill, no chill, no chill [Verse 3] I'm hurting. Cutting on my television I see another black life taken by cop's decision I talked to the people round me Said I think this needs attention Not only they didn't listen, they said "protest isn't Christian" Man! You hate my people yet pretend like we friends I finally figured out---y'all afraid of this skin I'll Kaepernick every anthem til the system is fixed Bro my n***as is done camping, now we getting intense Its no chill No chill, no chill no chill No chill no chill, no chill No chill No chill No chill Its no chill No chill, no chill no chill No chill no chill, no chill No chill No chill No chill Its no chill [Outro] I lay my head down at night I can't see the end in sight These images washing over me They take hold of me And they show me we got no chill It sends chills all through my body Its all the politicians lobbying It seems like they're all phony And not concealing it Til we deal with it, I won't chill [Jesse Williams Outro] But freedom is somehow always conditional here "You're free," they keep tellin us But, she would have been alive if she hadn't acted so...
