burden x mesus - riot for me lyrics

[chorus: burden]
what if i was on my knees and executed by police?
what if i was being choked and they knew that i couldn’t breathe
if i was in the cop car, i was k!lled in the backseat
with hands cuffed and locked behind me, y’all ain’t losing any sleep
ain’t n0body ’bout to riot for me and that’s a fact
ain’t no protests with signs for me, ’cause i ain’t black
ain’t no hashtags online for me or fighting back
ain’t n0body ’bout to riot for me, bet y’all don’t riot for me

[verse 1: burden]
ain’t it demonic, how the news make a piece of sh+t look iconic?
how ironic, if the ratings go up, so does the profits
you can change the station, but they’re reading from the same script
white man gunned down by police, ain’t n0body play that clip
no one gave a sh+t, i won’t get no famous case
i won’t get no downtown monument where they paint my face
i won’t get no nfl jersey spot that say my name
oh that’s right, since i’m white, the situation ain’t the same
black lives matter, asian lives matter, spanish lives matter
ain’t allowed to say caucasian lives matter, why?
that don’t fit the narrative, that would mean equality
truth in the mainstream media, that’s mythology
they been using my people, your people, good people, poor people
either we wake up or they gon’ keep on using more people
i tried to warn people, supply ’em the truth
if the victim was me, y’all wouldn’t riot and loot
[chorus: burden]
what if i was on my knees and executed by police?
what if i was being choked and they knew that i couldn’t breathe
if i was in the cop car, i was k!lled in the backseat
with hands cuffed and locked behind me, y’all ain’t losing any sleep
ain’t n0body ’bout to riot for me and that’s a fact
ain’t no protests with signs for me, ’cause i ain’t black
ain’t no hashtags online for me or fighting back
ain’t n0body ’bout to riot for me, bet y’all don’t riot for me

[verse 2: mesus]
this is so exhausting, way the news talking
it’s like black folks only ones dead in coffins
black on black ain’t a tragedy, huh?
guess news cameras ran out of batteries, huh?
live by the gun, die by the gun
when it happens in the hood y’all ain’t saying nothing
but soon as that trigger finger white
y’all be tearing sh+t up on the same night, say i ain’t right
say i ain’t white, let’s say that i’m black
get pulled over, try to run away and scr+p
reaching for the strap but he get it first
so i slug him in the face at the same time that it bursts
now i’m just another reason to riot, a name on a shirt
when the truth is i just got what i deserved
when you playing dumb games then you winning dumb prizes
‘less it’s whites k!lling blacks they don’t give a f+ck who dies
[bridge: mesus]
when you gonna realize they just trying to divide us?
red, white, and blue, it’s the colors that unite us
getting sick and tired of the looting and the riots
when the truth is if i was dead then y’all be dead silent
