skitch hybrid – 4/5 lyrics

chorus

what you don’t understand/ is you only 4/5 of a man/ and that was always a part of
the plan/ so you gotta expand/ you still only 4/5 of a man/ no matter how hard you fought or
you ran/ see i’m tellin’ you fam/ that you only 4/5 of a man/ even when you do the best that
you can/ they won’t give you a hand/ ’cause you only 4/5 of a man and oppression is the law
of the land

verse

a 200 year old piece of paper wrote down what a n+gga is worth
then the media told the rest of the earth/ reach the precipice first/
change gon’ come as i’m knocked to my knees
i stand and bleed for the right just to breathe
felt the l!ck of the lash ’til the change of a name
make me vision this plantation in flames
while i’m breakin’ these chains/ don’t pull out your bible to explain
i ain’t playin’ white jesus’s games
put the crown on your head while the noose tied around your neck
you gon’ die showin’ proper respect
the king was gloatin’/ while this cotton i picked cut my fingers open
shoved it down his wife’s throat, now the queen is chokin’
quiet down! her thrashin’ is gettin’ frantic
body runnin’ out of oxygen, eyes wide wit’ panic
field hands found the bodies, i turned around and said “n+gga run!”
bein’ black is a crime but bein’ free is a bigger one
chorus

what you don’t understand/ is you only 4/5 of a man/ and
that was always a part of
the plan/ so you gotta expand/ you still only 4/5 of a man/ no matter how hard you fought or
you ran/ see i’m tellin’ you fam/ that you only 4/5 of a man/ even when you do the best that
you can/ they won’t give you a hand/ ’cause you only 4/5 of a man and oppression is the law
of the land

verse

cops are occupyin’ armies turnin’ hoods to war zones
caution tape got the area cordoned
you thought you had rights?/ exercise ’em and you losin’ your life
you see them blue lights you better think twice
put your cigarette out, i don’t care that you still in your car
this is texas, b+tch you know where you are?
don’t be breakin’ up fights, we’ll say you was sellin’ loose cigarettes
and use that excuse cut off your breath/ when we choke you to death
’cause you big enough to look like a threat/might even k!ll you durin’ a wellness check/
that twenty’s fake so my knee’s on your neck/
for 8 minutes ’til you don’t have a pulse
even though the accusation is false
it’s a no+knock raid we’ll put bullets in you while you asleep
the real target’s already in custody, but it’s nothin’ to me
had to stand my ground he reached for my gun
witnesses say he started to run/ now forensics is done
evidence the grand jury won’t see
keepin me free is priority
don’t be playin’ wit’ guns, n+gga i don’t care that you only twelve
it’s a toy that you got off the shelf/ someone called me for help
and their life is worth much more than yours
what you doin’ in these parks or these stores?/ don’t you come here no more
my constituents, most of my core/ every vote cast for keepin’ you poor
that’s just what they stand for
they’d rather hurt you than help themselves
rather turn they own country to h+ll/ time is startin’ to tell
start at 3/5 you made it to four, they don’t wanna see you finally arrive at the five
rather you not survive
they remember when you hung from the trees
strange fruit with the blood on the leaves
while you tryin’ to be equal and free/ the agenda they don’t want you to see
is slowly surely push you back down to three
chorus

what you don’t understand/ is you only 4/5 of a man/ and that was always a part of
the plan/ so you gotta expand/ you still only 4/5 of a man/ no matter how hard you fought or
you ran/ see i’m tellin’ you fam/ that you only 4/5 of a man/ even when you do the best that
you can/ they won’t give you a hand/ ’cause you only 4/5 of a man and n+gger is the name
they put on our brand
