lyrics

Whatchy’all wanna do?
Whatchy’all wanna do?
Whatchy’all wanna do?

All we get from the cops is disrespect
knee in the neck
All we get from the cops is disrespect
knee in the neck

Lucky we don’t seek revenge
your tired words would fall again
None shall prosper evil deeds
and the truth will carry me

Might be a fake bill in the Twin Cities
selling Staten Island loosies
might be a run ‘neath the Georgia sun
or traffic stop and cop havin’ fun

Whatchy’all wanna do?
Whatchy’all wanna do?
Whatchy’all wanna do?

Rise up no more lies
kill us then apologize
Rise up take them down
one by one we’ll stand our ground

Could be a gun that he’s licensed for
or a no-knock bashing through the door
carving wood near the Puget Sound
tossed in cop van cuffed and bound
Devil’s shade on a thin blue line
spillin’ blood like red wine
dread of black skin through white eyes
Cops know from slave days aim up high

Lucky we don’t seek revenge
your tired words would fall again
None shall prosper evil deeds
and the truth will carry me

Living with the pain of the ancestors
Raging veins of protestors
When you gotta tell your kid every time they leave
give ‘em no excuse to make your momma grieve

All we get from the cops is disrespect
knee in the neck
All we get from the cops is disrespect
knee in the neck

Lucky we don’t seek revenge
your tired words would fall again
None shall prosper evil deeds
and the truth will carry me

So so tired but we ride the lightning
so so tired heavy heart tightening
so so tired but we keep on fighting
so so tired – time for incitin’

Whatchy’all wanna do?
knee in the neck
Whatchy’all wanna do?
Whatchy’all wanna do?
Whatchy’all wanna do?
knee in the neck
Whatchy’all wanna do?
Whatchy’all wanna do?
