[KRS-One, SUN-One - Murder We Just Saw lyrics]
Yeah we done heard it before
What we looking at
It's the beginning of civil war
Finally we just might be getting
Right to the core
The proof in that the truth of
That murder we just saw
Fuck this there is no justice
And it's a shame because
America is above this
But it's really not because these
Cops they are racist
The very foundation of America is racist
Yeah we all know it but nothing ever changes
They part of the system that puts us in cages
Time to break out every race, all ages
This is not anarchy, this is what change is
You don't have the right to tell
Me what my pain is
Or tell me how to protest or what my aim is
You the fucking problem
That's where the blame is
Cops killing black people
That's what insane is
Weak politicians we know what your name is
You can vote while I'm getting
Choked by a racist
All the actualizations against
Us are baseless
And falsifying the evidence and
Burying the cases fTP
Yeah we done heard it before
What we looking at
It's the beginning of civil war
Finally we just might be getting
Right to the core
The proof in that the truth of
That murder we just saw
Yeah we done heard it before
What we looking at
It's the beginning of civil war
Finally we just might be getting
Right to the core
The proof in that the truth of
That murder we just saw
Fuck that, criminal justice they run that
They can have guns but ask me where my gun at
They the criminals but it's me
They want to come at
Who's telling them to put their gun back
Fuck that when it's gonna end?
Being killed by a cop is the sixth
Leading cause of death for black men
And then the courts don't convict them
When the camera shows they the criminals
And we are the victims
Yeah we done heard it before
What we looking at
It's the beginning of civil war
Finally we just might be getting
Right to the core
The proof in that the truth of
That murder we just saw
Yeah we done heard it before
What we looking at
It's the beginning of civil war
Finally we just might be getting
Right to the core
The proof in that the truth of
That murder we just saw
And they'll always be one more
As long as white society holds
The monopoly on all law either or
That's the only law we follow
Cause colonial custom is what
We trained to model shots in the air
This is just another day for me
Modern day slavery still requires the bravery
Street photography making slavery
Plain to see we used to die aimlessly now
The camera aims at me
One shot saving me, the other shot slaying me
But how is this condition
Any different from slavery
White supremacy is still trying to enslave us
When our voices ignored unless
White folks save us
I appreciate the protests for sure
But when we gonna end the
Monopoly of white law
We follow their laws while they follow none
We're told to be peaceful while
They're busting a gun
Yeah we done heard it before
What we looking at
It's the beginning of civil war
Finally we just might be getting
Right to the core
The proof in that the truth of
That murder we just saw
What we looking at
It's the beginning of civil war
Finally we just might be getting
Right to the core
The proof in that the truth of
That murder we just saw
Fuck this there is no justice
And it's a shame because
America is above this
But it's really not because these
