D. Lynch, Jidnak - Ferguson Nights lyrics
[D. Lynch, Jidnak - Ferguson Nights lyrics]
The images from this weekend of violence
In the streets, stores being looted
And riot police with dogs barking and
Charging at protesters seem like they
Are out of another era but
This outburst of violence is
Going on in present day St louis
Missouri it all started with
The fatal shooting by police of
An unarmed black teenager
We speak the way we feel
They don’t do us no favors
A life was lost, the cops gettin' no waivers
Let them all know we ain’t taking no favors
Gettin' yours pig, yeah sooner or later
It’s on every channel now
Just look at the news it’s a civil war yo
What does the president do?
He sends out tanks, riot tools to be used
Against poor people tired of being abused
This nation’s askew it feels like there
Ain’t a thing we can do
Watch our brothers die put they
Name on a tattoo run and join the navy
You got something to prove
It’s on every channel now
Just look at the news
A kid’s dead in the streets
And vengeance is due screaming for blood
A head for the world to view
They coming for death ‘cause vengeance is due
Better look in the mirror 'cause
That person is you
As we get closer in, better hold ya wife
Light went to dark, live the coldest nights
Could lose my life on the roll of the dice
Death is just a shadow on Ferguson Nights
As we get closer in, better hold ya wife
Light went to dark, live the coldest nights
Could lose my life on the roll of the dice
Death is just a shadow on Ferguson Nights
I ain’t afraid of death
Not afraid to get shot
If they push me wrong, then I’m killing a cop
Fight for Michael Brown yo
I’m blowing the spot
Kill Zimmerman too for bringing the pot
It seems like since him
The violence never stopped
And they blame it on race, gangsta rap
And games such a fucking disgrace
Ya minds just going to waste
Man, what in the fuck happened to this place?
We got crooked cops and racist politicians
Homophobic Christians, a conservative mission
Blame it on the Muslims
The whole nation’s bitchin'
Nothing but prejudice the media’s spitting
Screaming death to Islam in
The name of Christ
While the police go and take another life
From St louis yo, to ABQ
Out for blood, ‘cause vengeance is due
As we get closer in, better hold ya wife
Light went to dark, live the coldest nights
Could lose my life on the roll of the dice
Death is just a shadow on Ferguson Nights
As we get closer in, better hold ya wife
Light went to dark, live the coldest nights
Could lose my life on the roll of the dice
Death is just a shadow on Ferguson Nights
Keep lying to ‘em
McDonald’s flow they lovin’ it
Everything’s confusing when it’s coming
From the government
So they make us feel with all
These problems and the struggle shit
Born into a society where
Everything is limited
Born into this poverty but I
Ain’t going ending it
I’m a fucking rebel on the front line
I am in this shit
Coppers they all head chopping they
Trying to split your wigs
Telling our rebels keep calm
Load us with sedatives they lying to us
That shit on TV is propaganda
Better grip your kids, kiss your wife
You better call your nana
I know some people in high
Places who speak proper grammar
I got some lawyers who get paid
To keep me out the slammer
Me and D lynch murdering beats
With no knife or hammer
And I got anger deep inside of me
So I take a lot of drugs
Just to cope with society
We ain’t starting no riots
We’d rather move quietly
I stole a lot of shit and sold it for pennies
But all the wrong that I did
Bitch you still couldn’t offend me
I just wanna' feed my fam'
Before this war reaches ending
But, I ain’t getting fucking paid for
All this knowledge I’m lifting
We living relentless they like to
Hang our freedom from fences
We came from the churches when niggas
Chop they just do their dishes
Ain’t no repentance
My niggas out here living malicious
You tell me you love this world
Bitch I think you’re suspicious
As we get closer in, you better hold ya wife
Light went to dark, live the coldest night
I could lose my life at the roll of the dice
Death is just a shadow on Ferguson’s Night
As we get closer in, you better hold ya wife
Light went to dark, live the coldest night
I could lose my life at the roll of the dice
Death is just a shadow on Ferguson’s Night
In the streets, stores being looted
And riot police with dogs barking and
