(Section 8 just straight cooked
Last night, people protestin'
As demonstrators were lashed
The main message here,
the main message here,
Is that they want to see
those officers involved
Amaj7
They want to see those officers arrested
Officers arrested
G#sus4
(I can't breathe, I can't breathe)
Verse 1
ain't no more free Lil Steve
and chance again,
I even done told them please
Amaj7
I find it crazy the police'll shoot you
and know that you dead,
but still tell you to freeze
G#sus4
Fucked up, I seen what I seen
I guess that mean hold him down
if he say he can't breathe
They killin' us for no reason
G#m/B
Been goin' on for too long to get even
Throw us in cages like dogs and hyenas
Amaj7
I went to court and they sent me to prison
My mama was crushed
when they said I can't leave
G#sus4
First I was drunk, then I sobered up quick
When I heard all that time
that they gave to Taleeb
He got a life sentence plus
C#m
We just some products of our environment
How the fuck they gon' blame us?
G#m/B
You can't fight fire with fire, I know,
but at least we can turn up the flames some
I be judgin' by the mind and heart,
I ain't really into faces
is not gettin' better,
you gotta know how to survive
G#m/B
Crazy, I had to tell all of my loved ones
to carry a gun when they goin' outside
Amaj7
Stare in the mirror whenever you drive
Overprotective, go crazy for mine
G#sus4
You gotta pay attention to the signs
Seem like the blind followin' the blind
C#m
Thinkin' 'bout everythin' that's goin' on
I boost security up at my home
G#m/B
I'm with my kind if they right or they wrong
I call him now, he'll pick up the phone
he wakin' up on it
Tell 'em wherever I'm at, then they comin'
G#sus4
I see blue lights, I get scared and start runnin'
That shit be crazy, they 'posed to protect us
While they go home at night,
that shit messed up
G#m/B
Knowin' we needed help, they neglect us
One of them who gon' make them respect us
Amaj7
'Cause I can see in your eye that you fed up
Fuck around, got my shot, I won't let up
G#sus4
They know that we a problem together
They know that we can storm any weather
Chorus 1
It's a problem with the whole way of life
But we gotta start somewhere
Amaj7
Might as well gon' 'head start here
We done had a hell of a year
G#sus4
I'ma make it count while I'm here
Verse 2
God is the only man I fear
He gon' bust your ass
if you come past that gun line
G#m/B
You know when the storm go away,
then the sun shine
You gotta put your head in the game
when it's crunch time
Amaj7
I want all my sons to grow up to be monsters
I want all my daughters to show out in public
G#sus4
Seems like we losin' our country
But we gotta stand up for somethin',
so this what it comes to
I got power, now I gotta say somethin'
G#m/B
Corrupted police been the problem
where I'm from, but I'd be lyin'
if I said it was all of them
Amaj7
I ain't do this for the trend, I don't follow them
Altercations with the law, had a lot of them
G#sus4
People speakin' for the people,
I'm proud of them
Stick together, we can get it up out of them
about killin' and dope,
but I'm tellin' my youngins to vote
I didn't have no choice or no hope,
I was forced to just jump in and go
Amaj7
This bullshit is all that we know,
but it's time for change
Got time to be serious, no time for no games
let us go from them chains
God bless they souls,
every one of them names
Chorus 2
It's a problem with the whole way of life
But we gotta start somewhere
Amaj7
Might as well gon' 'head start here
We done had a hell of a year
G#sus4
I'ma make it count while I'm here
God is the only man I fear
Verse 3
then shootin' protesters
with these rubber bullets
G#m/B
They regular people, I know that they feel it
These scars too deep to heal us
What happened to COVID?
Amaj7
Nobody remember It ain't makin' sense,
I'm just here to vent
G#sus4
It happen to one of your people, it's different
We get it, the system is wicked,
just learn how to pick it
C#m
Knowledge is power, I swear I'm a witness,
I know that I'm gifted I won't go too deep
G#m/B
'cause I'm scared they'll get me
Ain't scared to admit it,
some shit I can't mention
Amaj7
It's people who can, well, here's the chance
I won't take the stand,
but I'll take a stand for what I believe
G#sus4
Must not be breathin' the air that I breathe
You know that the way that I bleed,
you can bleed
But my neighborhood know
I try to keep peace
G#m/B
So it's only right that I get in the streets
March for a reason, not just on GP
Amaj7
Our people died for us to be free
Fuck do you mean? This was a dream
G#sus4
Now we got the power that we need to have
They don't want us with it
and that's why they mad, yeah
Chorus 3
It's a problem with the whole way of life
But we gotta start somewhere
Amaj7
Might as well gon' 'head start here
We done had a hell of a year
G#sus4
I'ma make it count while I'm here
God is the only man I fear
It's bigger than black and white
It's a problem with the whole way of life
It can't change overnight (nah)
But we gotta start somewhere
Might as well gon' 'head start here
We done had a hell of a year
I'ma make it count while I'm here
God is the only man I fear
