l3roccoli - why lyrics

(man, they don’t care about us. they look at us like we’re something less than a human, with all this racism bullsh+t, i swear man… we gotta stand against this sh+t, you know what i’m sayin’?)

(police commotion)
put your hands up, get on the ground (get down)
don’t move, stay down (stop resisting)
if you rise up they gon’ take you to the ground (on the ground)
they ain’t like us but the like to put us down (on the ground)
why us, ain’t no trust (f+ck the cops)
say it again, ain’t no trust (f+ck the cops)
why you always gotta treat us like we thugs (we ain’t thugs)
some people grew up out the mud, nah wassup?! (we out the mud)

you can see all of the history it’s around us
400 years of a oppression, still ain’t gave up
they don’t care how it is, we gotta change up
pick a weapon, a gun or your heart
understand you gotta learn how to pick smart
understand that either way, it’s gon’ be hard
understand that every day, everyday
everyday you ask yourself, why it always us

why us, all the time (why us)
why me even though i know i’m right (why me)
why you using rubber bullets but you know we ain’t violent (we ain’t violent)
always tryna oppress us, tryna keep all of us silent (h+ll nah)
you don’t know where we’ve been through, you don’t know where we’ve been
you don’t understand the cause, you don’t understand your privilege (you don’t understand)
why us, why them (why us)
puttin’ people all up in your cages, that’s your freedom?

puttin’ your knee up on his neck you could’ve freed him
he was just going for a jog but you k!lled him
she was an emt, you busted in and took her living
he was tryna see his mom with his kids, but you pulled the trigger (that’s some bullsh+t)
she was tryna find a job find an opportunity
then she end up dead, you was tryna get impunity
so many names, so many stories, the brutality
so many dead just because of your mentality

how the h+ll we get like this (how)
why the h+ll we like this (why)
all the time it’s like this (why)
d+mn, stop the bullsh+t (d+mn)
politician bullsh+t, law enforcement bullsh+t
systematic bullsh+t, entitled ass bullsh+t
i know we gotta fight this, i know we gon’ survive this
it don’t matter where you from, you can still put in sum’
trust and believe, that they gon’ change, put your foot down
trust and believe that if we stop, we ain’t gettin’ nun’ (h+ll yeah)

i hope you understand me and i hope you get it (you got me, n+gga)
it ain’t easy but it ain’t complicated (it ain’t easy)
ain’t no time to fool around, gotta be serious (gotta be serious)
they don’t care about about us, they be full of hatred
put your hands up, get on the ground, don’t move, stay down
put your hands up, get on the ground, don’t move, stay down

puttin’ your knee up on his neck you could’ve freed him
he was just going for a jog but you k!lled him
she was an emt, you busted in and took her living
he was tryna see his mom with his kids, but you pulled the trigger
she was tryna find a job find an opportunity
then she end up dead, you was tryna get impunity
so many names, so many stories, the brutality
so many dead just because of your mentality

george floyd, ahmaud arbery, breonna taylor, kendra names, james perez, akai gurley, mike brown, tamir rice, eric garner, freddie grey, sandra bland
so many names
so many stories
so many lives
so much hate
