Sulaiman - No Way lyrics

[verse: C. Rich] Take a look Look at me Said I'm not a prisoner But i'm still not free I wake up every morning chained down In my mind Too many lectures Learned no lessons Too much black and white When we're all brothers in His eyes Tell all my people they should never let go Say we'll make it better we just gotta tell them no No to the violence No injustice for me No to the Police k**in our men in the streets [hook] So we tellin them no way No way, no way, no way Gotta tell them no way No way, no way, no way Say we can't take it no more... Say we can't take it no more... [verse: C. Rich] Take a look Look at me I gotta pack a pistol, just to get somethin to eat My money come in real high But i spend it real low I stay poppin the flats like That's all i know And i stay askin why Why we don't go Run from the corners, blocks in the heat Child shot dead, you can see him in the street Tell all my people they should never let go Say we'll make it better we just gotta tell them no No to the violence No injustice for me No to the Police k**in our men in the streets [hook] [verse: DAVE] They hit Michael with his hands up Shot Oscar with his hands bound Wasn't no oscar for Michael Or prison for Zimmerman under that stand ground So we stand UP, 'til somebody stand trial For Ezell and Eric Ramarley and Amadou How we gon take that sh** layin down? Let Ferguson tell it, that's just how they want it I'm nervous, my son on the way and they say he a threat by his first day Better chance at a conviction than grad school admission by 25th birthday Lemmie not tweak tho, them white people tell us that we a post-racial society So post all they housing discrimination, acts of hatred and racial profiling [verse: Sulaiman] Used to say we three fifths of a human but now they just act like we one half of nothing In Kemet my n***as was ruling but now they pretend like we can't have discussions Drillin and bussin Frackin and stackin The sh** got me feeling like blacker Pythagoras... I wish I could give you this theorem this serum to bolster ya abacus Erect a Babylon sorta Cialis They try to tear it down gotta be adamant Gotta be Adam it gotta be Eve If they left the fruit on the trees And still used the seeds And buried em down by the leaves I'm Moses, I'm quoted as being the leader of men when it comes to exceeding the sin The system they keepin me in I be tellin em..
