Live from Brooklyn / For all my white people outraged by the fact that Kaepernick is kneeling / more than you are outraged by the extrajudicial killings of unarmed black civilians / for real, my white people caught up in their white feelings / this one’s for you, for you…

Cause we can do better / say it with me “BLACK LIVES MATTER” / that’s the name of this shit, “BLACK LIVES MATTER” / nobody asked you to make a fuckin remix to this shit / nobody asked you to remix the name of this shit / and for real: white rappers, white rappers who aren’t on board with this shit right now / you need to turn your rap ID card in right now / we comin for you / what happened to peace? / what happened to peace? / Governments earn peace, society earns peace / pay for that with justice / we pay for that with justice / so what happened to peace? / we’ll get to that once we get some justice in the streets.
