(Chorus – Kenneth Whalum)
I won’t tell you that it’s gon be ok
And I can’t see the sun through all the darkened rays
I don’t claim to have the answer, it’s more than some can say
I won’t tell you that it’s gon be ok
It might not be ok
(Verse – Big K.R.I.T.)
Mommas been crying and they gon keep crying
Black folk been dying and they gon keep dying
Police been firing and they gon keep firing
The government been lying and they gon keep lying
Propaganda news channels, that sh*t is all for show
Camera phone videos is like all we know
Diluting what an eye witness might really say
Because the whole world saw a murder yesterday
Now your account ain’t what it used to be
According to them your eyes can’t adjust to the violence you ain’t used to see
Police brutality is all in your mind
And the tactics that they use only look worse in rewind
And people die everyday, you should get used to it
Hands behind yo back, face down, and still say you shooting
Can’t breathe
Knee where your neck be like why you moving?
Kids in your car and they on like what you doing?
Like why you chilling? F**k yo’ feelings
Why you smiling when I’m so serious?
I ain’t patrolling your space, like why you living?
Stop asking questions, why you feel me?
You look suspicious, I think you dealing
Step out the car, fit the description
Someone I feel, I need a killing
Blood on the curb, I didn’t spill it
Nother civilian, nother not guilty
Nother T-shirt, nother rap lyric
Nother life gone, I can’t forgive it
(Chorus – Kenneth Whalum)
I won’t tell you that it’s gon be ok
And I can’t see the sun through all the darkened rays
I don’t claim to have the answer, it’s more than some can say
I won’t tell you that it’s gon be ok
It might not be ok
