Finally

Lyrics

[Intro] What is common matter? If it's your son, or your daughter, what is common matter? Oh [Verse 1] Man I'm so sick and tired of bein' sick and tired, where did we go wrong? Prolly' when they threw us on that boat and didn't bring us on Yeah that was a long time ago, man them days is long gone But we never will forget Yeah what's goin' on right now, systematic racism Man that pig just shot him in his back, he had his babies with him How much can we take before we break? That's what I wanna know Pressure bust pipes, 'ventually this shit is gonna blow Politicin' with my bro, tryna make some sense of this End up just shakin' my head, we dyin' over senseless shit I know how my pen can get, so I let that bitch speak Spittin' war on these beats, been the voice of the streets Heaven in this shit, knee deep, but I see it clear I may not make it with you, but I know we gon' get there (I know) And the time is now, ain't no turnin' round, straight ahead They said a change was gonna come, I think we finally there [Chorus] Pardon me brother Who is darker than [?]? We gotta stop killin' ourselves (Yeah) If we gon' make it through (They keep killin' us) They keep killin' us, and we killin' us Black lives gon' be few (Oh) They start rebuildin' us and healin' us Sayin' God'll get us through It's lightnin' [Verse 2] We tell 'em "Black lives matter", but they still can't feel us (Feel us) Our taxes pay the wages for the people tryin' to kill us Get us out the way, that's how they doin' our people (Doin' our people) They treat us like we less, while they tell us we equal We be fallin' for that shit, I done beefin' over nothin' Talkin' like a gangster 'til them police wanna cuff us Why we actin' petty, out here flossin' on your feti? 'Til them consequences come, nigga, you ain't even ready Had us learnin' lies, had us fightin' all they wars Shackled up in chains while we doin' all they chores Now there's little kids homeless, with nothin' to eat (Eat) And they still wanna lynch a nigga dead in the street (Dead in the street) [Chorus] Pardon me brother Who is darker than [?]? We gotta stop killin' ourselves (Yeah) If we gon' make it through (They keep killin' us) They keep killin' us, and we killin' us Black lives gon' be few (Oh) They start rebuildin' us and healin' us Sayin' God'll get us through It's lightnin' [Outro] If it's your son, or your daughter, what is common matter? You bet his friend you did one, but it's common matter If it's your son, or your daughter, what is common matter? Oh, I You bet his friend you did one, but it's common matter
