Wyclef Jean, Dre Island - Justice lyrics
[Wyclef Jean, Dre Island - Justice lyrics]
Sitting on millions
My friends swimming in billions
We’re killers in America
Top shottas in America
We just trappin’ in America
Ain’t no killer here
Ahmaud Ahmaud how many Ahmaud
Is it gonna take for us to realize on
This planet we just … apes too much
no investigation didn’t y’all see
The footage
They took him down like deer in the forest
I can’t let this be the new norm
They put the judges in place
Long before we born
King had a dream, they put him away
Gave him holiday
And now they still lynching everyday
Pistol, shotgun told you where he lay
Ray Charles probably rolling in his grave
Catch a killer in my hoodie get his sentence
If the ops put us down he gets suspended
Young gifted and black is a gift
You would think it was a curse
Man the way that they switchin’ be winching
To thinking that we crowding up space
Line us up with chalk, then erase
Sitting on millions
My friends swimming in billions
We’re killers in America
Top shottas in America
We just trappin’ in America
Ain’t no killer here
How much more left to beg before we
Free the shackles and the chains
How much more blood to spill
Before we realize these days
I know you still see they treating
Us like the modern day slaves
I see your wicked intentions and
Im gonna give you dementia
So let's get our self together
I know we’ll be okay as Jah as my witness
I’ll fly you to my grave
My friends swimming in billions
We’re killers in America
Top shottas in America
We just trappin’ in America
Ain’t no killer here
Ahmaud Ahmaud how many Ahmaud
Is it gonna take for us to realize on
This planet we just … apes too much
no investigation didn’t y’all see
The footage
They took him down like deer in the forest
I can’t let this be the new norm
They put the judges in place
Long before we born
King had a dream, they put him away
Gave him holiday
And now they still lynching everyday
Pistol, shotgun told you where he lay
Ray Charles probably rolling in his grave
Catch a killer in my hoodie get his sentence
If the ops put us down he gets suspended
Young gifted and black is a gift
You would think it was a curse
Man the way that they switchin’ be winching
To thinking that we crowding up space
Line us up with chalk, then erase
Sitting on millions
My friends swimming in billions
We’re killers in America
Top shottas in America
We just trappin’ in America
Ain’t no killer here
How much more left to beg before we
Free the shackles and the chains
How much more blood to spill
Before we realize these days
I know you still see they treating
