Pop pop That's regardless Pops told me that the number degrees That I got don't make me less a target I could be minding my own In my zone really tryna get the harvest I ain't even gotta start it Yeah this world can be heartless Shoot you walk with no charges See this historical element Centuries yeah the story we telling it Started with a disease of the melanin Never get any ease, we the felons See This thing called justice Be hard to find when it's just us On the other side of that gun barrel We fear the one who might bust us Either lock lock Or that pop Glock But that drop top getting stopped Assuming we playing hopscotch With them hot rocks But we not Yeah they riding round on our block This ain't even round where they stay I never know if it's gonna come So I wake up everyday pray Yuh Hands up, hands up, hands down It don't matter They shoot you down to the ground Yeah They don't wanna see you making moves B They don't wanna see you making moves B Hands up, hands up, hands down It don't matter They shoot you down to the ground Yeah They don't wanna see you making moves B They don't wanna see you making moves B I know why they scared a young black men They can't find a soul looking thru my black skin Uh Michael Jackson hmm Cleared up Damn They still drag ya name thru the dirt bruh Even with the fame you ain't worth none I'm a thug with a bone to pick Play a harmony you won't forget Time after time it's the same people getting off Yeah we noticed it Pray to God that my church service never hits the news like a bulletin Shots fired Killing my dogs ain't no Rottweiler Heart full of fear that's yo desire All lives matter look who's deciding ah Just let me get 5 Milly till I'm 38 before you shoot me in my 31 good vertebrae Then you see me flop on yo TV screen Lance Stevenson Turn me into another face on a T Shirt Sell it for $20 our pockets real hurt But that's the cost of a life when u built for the hearse so they say Hands up, hands up, hands down It don't matter They shoot you down to the ground Yeah They don't wanna see you making moves B They don't wanna see you making moves B Hands up, hands up, hands down It don't matter They shoot you down to the ground Yeah They don't wanna see you making moves B They don't wanna see you making moves B Yo They don't want us making moves B Try to stop the movement Probably choke us out right on the street, until homie stop moving When I see a cop on my block, put my head down, keep it moving I just wanna get home, chill, put my feet up, and watch a movie Damn Man I swear some cops are lazy Trigger happy, shooting babies Probably clap on an old lady OMG this shit is crazy You're a target, whether you're taking a train or a Mercedes So I'm dangerous cause I'm black You're mistaken Look I don't want no problems with you, I just wanna live Wanna live in peace and be treated fair See you on the streets, be happy that you here Be filled with hope, when I call you and not filled with fear OK your job is rough, and it's dangerous yo But you shooting people down, that obey you though We need change now, not next year Just wanna feel safe Hope I made that clear Ay, Brooklyn Hands up, hands up, hands down It don't matter They shoot you down to the ground Yeah They don't wanna see you making moves B They don't wanna see you making moves B Hands up, hands up, hands down It don't matter They shoot you down to the ground Yeah They don't wanna see you making moves B They don't wanna see
