This is the land of the free and it feel like we still in chains
I gotta stand up, they don't understand us and what's gon' change
We can't take no more, we can't wait no more
Cause they'll kill us in front a judge and the witness, and go about they business
Dusse on the rocks, I'm reading up on black privilege
Yea, tryna see the world different
Tryna spend my black dollars in these black businesses
But I need the service to be diligent
Change will be significant
Tried to hold me back but I trained hard
Leveled up just to see new niggas pull the same card
Ha, I had to tighten my grip
Flawed intentions means they likely to flip, no gymnastics
Always had ambition just had to switch up my tactics
Corporate got me thinking demographics
I am just a fabric
Of their imagination borderline aggravation stemming from fascination, real talk
Been tryna chase the lifestyle that I'll kill for
Been down so many times, they lift me up but I still fall
Still teaching myself, may be hard to understand me
Keep the money in the family
Black privilege
This is the land of the free and it feel like we still in chains
I gotta stand up, they don't understand us and what's gon' change (what's gonna change?)
We can't take no more, we can't wait no more, nooo
They say this is bigger than black, we gon' make it bigger than that ooh
When the fight is so wrong, but we been fighting so long (so long)
They say this is bigger than black, we gon' make it bigger than that ooh
This is the land of the free and it feel like we still in chains (still in chains)
I gotta stand up, they don't understand us and what's gon' change, would you tell me?
Cops taking niggas lives left and right
They plan so the stories coincide
To get an arrest gotta hold a strike
To get justice is another fight
Or a hashtag, can't get past that
How can people really laugh at
We seen his last breaths on our phones
What happened to turning all the stones
We gotta enforce laws on our own
These days I wonder bout life post quarantine
A few tracks go viral, it's closer than it seems
More food at the table, making room for the team.
Making steps in the right direction, I'm closer to my dreams
Crabs in a barrel mentality, hate to lose
When did my success become their failures, I ain't make em choose
Another day another vid of cops breaking rules
How much evidence it take to prove
Black privilege
This is the land of the free and it feel like we still in chains
I gotta stand up, they don't understand us and what's gon' change (what's gonna change?)
We can't take no more, we can't wait no more, nooo
They say this is bigger than black, we gon' make it bigger than that ooh
When the fight is so wrong, but we been fighting so long (so long)
They say this is bigger than black, we gon' make it bigger than that ooh
This is the land of the free and it feel like we still in chains (still in chains)
I gotta stand up, they don't understand us and what's gon' change, would you tell me?
Tell me...
