j-r3mi - die young lyrics

[verse 1]
i think it’s f+cked up that
that a d+mn black man
gotta be scared and prepared to die young
die dumb at the hands of a white man’s gun
why you think i run when i see you come by?
alright, my son
if a cop approach you, this is what you don’t do
f+ck that, teach your kids how to love black people
and not fear ‘em. we all act equal
we eat, we sleep, we bleed
we drink, we pee, we need love
i just think you need therapy, and you need hugs
drown out hate with love. i hate it, but
i gotta see both sides and weigh the cup
conservatives mind+f+cked
it’s blind luck if they change
these government bots, man, they all sound the same
(they ain’t never gonna change)
look at the coins that you got
whose name’s on the face?
who built this country?
ain’t none of them safe
the thing about history is it tells what we made, and it shows our mistakes
we gotta learn from it and turn subjects of pain into peace for the brain
we gotta learn from it (gotta learn)
turn subjects of pain (subjects of pain) into peace for the brain
[chorus]
people who die young become the fire
in the hearts and souls of all the fighters
loved ones, raise your lighters to the sky
come together, and we will know the future’s brighter

[verse 2]
came to a red light and sped by
i’d rather have nine fines than be the next guy
who died in police custody
i can’t study ‘cause a man got put in the dirt for nothing
by four on+duty officers, please, i cannot breathe
can you hear my call?
i need my mom
i’ma sing my song
and pray for the days that our freedom comes
i can walk in the street, go for a run in the back where i live
get to my crib and not get hit by eight shots in the rib
in no d+mn world should a mamma’s kid die ‘fore the mamma did
i get sick as f+ck at the sh+t i see on the news
it sucks

[outro]
rest in power to george floyd
breonna taylor
and ahmaud arbery
and everybody else who’s been taken from this world by evil people
in senseless acts of violence
and to everybody out there
be safe
and i love you
