Daye Jack, Killer Mike - Hands Up lyrics

I'm feeling broken hopeless
No one to hold me love me
The world so controlling i'll show ya
People been dying crying

Living with my head down hands up
No no don't shoot don't shoot
No no don't shoot living with my head down
Hands up no no don't shoot don't shoot
No no don't shoot

I want to live forever angel here
To hold my head up
Don aggravated man in blue my
Death is on the schedule
Looking at a mirror skin is
Burning living in a kettle
Grew up in a melting pot
Black child going mental
Brothers underground who's next
Feel the venom
These snakes ain't tame moving independent
(police) without a leash
All my niggas falling by the several
Calling on a angel at the
Pearly gate saying hello
Living with my head down hands up
No no don't shoot don't shoot
No no don't shoot living with my head down
Hands up no no don't shoot don't shoot
No no don't shoot

Hold on shooter don't forget your gun
Papa told ya you wouldn't die so young
No no no loser couldn't this win one
You not a soldier, boy you need to run

Maybe, the kid that you refer to as a thug
Is just somebody else's baby
A baby, a ba ba ba ba baby why mom go crazy
When she see her baby laying
Facedown on the burning pavement, amen
Can I get an Amen? (Amen) Get behind me Satan
That's some shit I heard my grandma say
But the devil working overtime
And never take vacay
And you might have to let the devil know
That you will spray AK
In the neighbour, women, child
That community you stay
Move with the mind of Malcolm
And your heart is MLK
Meaning nonviolence surely is the
Right and proper way
But if a devil do you harm
Then that devil die today
Black Lives Matter, tired of boys dying
Tired of moms and dads crying
Tired of being passed
Tired of being in a private Palestine
Time ticking on tomorrow
We ain't got a lotta
I pray the prayers pardon Assata

I'm feeling wounded weeping
This body bruising hurting
Thought I was chosen a new man
No one had told me i'm falling

Living with my head down hands up
No no don't shoot don't shoot
No no don't shoot living with my head down
Hands up no no don't shoot don't shoot
No no don't shoot living with my head down
Hands up no no don't shoot don't shoot
No no don't shoot
