kainan seth - hands up lyrics

[verse one]
it’s a lot of things i gotta explain to my friends
like i don’t have much privilege even though i’m light-skin
and when i’m in louisiana i don’t blend in
and when i was a kid, i still was a black man
when people see me, they know that i’m creole
melting pot of culture, yet forever a negro
both parents shades of brown, their skin ain’t pasty
yet i had blue eyes, and white skin as a baby
growing up in mansfield, texas was a challenge
i couldn’t find common ground, i was off balance
humans of all color challenged me when i stated my race
then got mad when i yelled racist in they face
i turn on the tv, the blacks are rarely the hero
we normally the villain and reviewed much less than a zero
just cause we magic don’t mean we ain’t real
jesse williams told the truth, take it, deal or no deal
we souls, man, not just statistics
i wanna see justice, i don’t care about ballistics
our black lives matter just as much as the other ones
but that’ll never happen ’til we make moves meant for the son

[chorus]
hands up, don’t shoot
stop k!lling us
hands up, don’t shoot
stop k!lling us
hands up, don’t shoot
stop k!lling us
hands up, don’t shoot
stop k!lling us

[hook- danielle christine]
we just wanna survive
but we’ve tears in our eyes
all creeds and colors
we’re all sisters and brothers

[verse two]
people dying, people dying, people still dying
somebody just got k!lled, i’m not even lying
i don’t wanna see my people only in flashbacks
we made in god’s image, we are more than some hashtags
i can’t take this, i just can’t take this
look at it online, another life was just taken
none of this is new, i already know that
but don’t justify murder with some bull cr-p
i see it trending on twitter, i wanna be mistaken
but i don’t wanna end up bitter, cause my soul aching
christ is on the throne, so i don’t need to snap
don’t fiend for the cheese and get stuck in the mouse trap
if we want unity, we have to shut up
our actions speak volumes, like how a dap mean what up
y’all think y’all can make america great again? you can’t!
that’s why in the end, we’ll have to face someone greater than us

[chorus]
hands up, don’t shoot
stop k!lling us
hands up, don’t shoot
stop k!lling us
hands up, don’t shoot
stop k!lling us
hands up, don’t shoot
stop k!lling us

[hook- danielle christine]
we just wanna survive
but we’ve tears in our eyes
all creeds and colors
we’re all sisters and brothers

[verse three]
now police brutality is a tragedy
and to say only some grieve is a travesty
i know some forget this is our reality
but the only way out is through the majesty
we gotta find how hidden hate is in society
’cause some are mad at human variety
if we give it back to god, he’ll stop anxiety
and that’ll lead to social sobriety
the main problem is false superiority
all it give out is false authority
and it say you can reign if you are majority
but who gets caught in the storm is the minorities
however, this is to not be the case
no one’s pure based on complexion of the face
adam and eve founded our genetic base
and that means we all one species: huh, the human race

[chorus]
hands up, don’t shoot
stop k!lling us
hands up, don’t shoot
stop k!lling us
hands up, don’t shoot
stop k!lling us
hands up, don’t shoot
stop k!lling us

[hook- danielle christine]
we just wanna survive
but we’ve tears in our eyes
all creeds and colors
we’re all sisters and brothers
