DJ DX, Marvin Gaye - Riots lyrics
[DJ DX, Marvin Gaye - Riots lyrics]
They make me wanna holler
The way they do my life, yeah
They make me wanna holler
The way they do my life
This ain't living, This ain't living
Nah nah baby, this ain't living no no no no
Yo you can't tell me I'm hip
You can't tell me I'm hop
People dying everyday, they getting
Killed on they blocks, You got blacks
In the streets that like to stand and watch
While another black man gets
Recorded and shot
Show no love for these pigs cuz we hate
Crooked cops
This whole thing that you seeing
Was predicted by PAC
We tired of banging on these
Doors, it's time to break these locks
So the system
Can't blame us for not having a lot
Y'all done corrupted our culture and
Everything we created, then y'all
Sit back and laugh at black entertainment
Sick of being famous
I just wanna meet Jesus
Cuz down here on earth there's no more
Black leaders
Just a bunch of fake preachers and
A whole lot of deceivers
It's time to say peace like
The poor righteous teachers
Lord show some grievance
For this revolution war
Is blacks and puerto ricans down
For the same cause!
They make me wanna holler
The way they do my life, yeah
They make me wanna holler
The way they do my life
This ain't living, This ain't living
Nah nah baby, this ain't living no no no no
This ain't about race so forget
The competition, we live in a world
With corrupted politicians, look at
The way we living, we all playing the victim
Its time to unite, lets go against the system
Cuz killing one another won't help
Us raise our children
If morals brought money
Then we all would have millions
We are all civilians just
Living in the ghetto
Its either sell drugs, grip the chrome
Bust the metal it took Freddie to die for
Y'all to do something
When Trayvon died man y'all ain't do nothing
Eye for an eye so let's kill that man
If you don't have an idea then it's
George Zimmerman, and fuck the white house
Obama's the middleman He never
Brought change all
He did was bring pain, Hilary up next
This shit is just a game
But all this anger made the people go insane!
They make me wanna holler
The way they do my life, yeah
They make me wanna holler
The way they do my life
This ain't living, This ain't living
Nah nah baby, this ain't living no no no no
Uh heart of a lion, the eye of a panther
Why is blacks in the streets, dying
Quicker than cancer? This black
On black crime
Is not the answer, They killed Mike Brown
He even had his hands up!
They choked Eric Garner
He was cuffed in handcuffs
They popped Jordan Davis
He was parked in a red truck
They killed Rekia Boyd
Where there were no cameras
They shot Oscar Grant, so
It's time to stand up, No! Listen
Forget the food and stamps
All we want is justice and
Freedom on the land, so fuck the police
And the Klu Klux Klan
The gangs came together just
For the black man
Dam, you see we suffering in poverty
All you do is lie and fuck up the economy
But where is the equality
For all nationalities? But
You call us thugs for looting and rioting!
They make me wanna holler
The way they do my life, yeah
They make me wanna holler
The way they do my life
This ain't living, This ain't living
Nah nah baby, this ain't living no no no no
The way they do my life, yeah
They make me wanna holler
The way they do my life
This ain't living, This ain't living
Nah nah baby, this ain't living no no no no
