x-raided - the rubicon lyrics

[intro]
yeah
the rubicon
we at the point of no return

[chorus: x+raided]
we need healing in the streets, healing in the hood
blood keeps spilling in the streets ’cause of ill feelings in the hood
the cops playing for keeps, they shot him cause they could
and another mother weeps ’cause when you gone, you gone for good
ain’t no coming back from that (no)
ain’t no coming back from that (no)
ain’t no coming back from that
ain’t no coming back from that (no)
we need healing in the streets, healing in the hood
blood keeps spilling in the streets ’cause of ill feelings in the hood

[verse 1: x+raided]
i said they shot him cause he was wearing a hoodie in a gated community
why a body gotta be on the ground for us to give a display of unity?
they shot him cause hе was at a park playing with a toy gun
i wish i was there to tell littlе boy “run”
they say “you live by the sword but you gon die by the gun”
he never learned from a father so he learned from a son
another lost boy said “have heart, never back down, never show fear, never show tears”
looked in the eyes, they was so clear
took another 24 years to figure out that he had a miseducation
due to political forces, policies and miscegenation
i got some good advice from a alcoholic drug addict
he told me that every addiction doesn’t involve a drug habit
i wasn’t traveling but i had to check my baggage
i wasn’t traveling but i had to check my baggage
i wasn’t traveling but i had to check my baggage
and get some sanity in my life so i could stop the madness
[chorus: x+raided]
we need healing in the streets, healing in the hood
blood keeps spilling in the streets ’cause of ill feelings in the hood
the cops playing for keeps, they shot him cause they could
and another mother weeps ’cause when you gone, you gone for good
ain’t no coming back from that (no)
ain’t no coming back from that (no)
ain’t no coming back from that
ain’t no coming back from that (no)
we need healing in the streets, healing in the hood
blood keeps spilling in the streets ’cause of ill feelings in the hood

[verse 2: x+raided]
we used to play cowboys and indians, cops and robbers
always wanted to be the cop ’cause it’s more fun to pop the robber
that was childhood innocence, that’s what they taught the toddlers
then i got older and realized that my pop’s the robber
they feel so superior, they jumped on camera and shot the jogger
went home and said grace over their food like they forgot the jogger
yeah, that’s the lord’s prayer but they done forgot the father
it’s like if god came down to earth, they’d be done shot the father
i swear the native americans need to scalp some heads again
until somebody say why they named that team the redskins
they pit the blacks against the asians and the mexicans
they try to divide and conquer us, we failed that test again
everytime i turn around another brother laid to rest again
be done died in police custody, he was under arrest again
now, we looting and rioting in the streets, it’s a mess again
and the only crime i committed was being born in the flesh i’m in, d+mn!
[chorus: x+raided]
we need healing in the streets, healing in the hood
blood keeps spilling in the streets ’cause of ill feelings in the hood
the cops playing for keeps, they shot him cause they could
and another mother weeps ’cause when you gone, you gone for good
ain’t no coming back from that (no)
ain’t no coming back from that (no)
ain’t no coming back from that
ain’t no coming back from that (no)
we need healing in the streets, healing in the hood
blood keeps spilling in the streets ’cause of ill feelings in the hood

[verse 3: t+nutty]
outside being bad ’cause we tired of being good
they k!lling in these streets, n+ggas dying in the hood
all we really want is peace, probably buy it if i could
still traumatized from a homicide and i hate to hear your momma cry
got him on the ground, shot a n+gga down
f+ck calling the police, they probably not around
back to back they k!lling blacks and even all the browns
m+th+f+ckas getting choked up, you don’t even hear the sound
“give a f+ck if you can’t breathe, everybody else better leave
don’t care if you recording, not worried about who sees”
now they lynching us with their knees
“please get off my neck, sir, don’t wanna be next to have my death on social networks”
police brutality, they wanted seven experts
no trial transcripts, no paperwork, no excerpts
my heart done turned black, so dark it make my chest hurt
too far to turn back, gotta hit you with this tec
[chorus: x+raided]
we need healing in the streets, healing in the hood
blood keeps spilling in the streets ’cause of ill feelings in the hood
the cops playing for keeps, they shot him cause they could
and another mother weeps ’cause when you gone, you gone for good
ain’t no coming back from that (no)
ain’t no coming back from that (no)
ain’t no coming back from that
ain’t no coming back from that (no)
we need healing in the streets, healing in the hood
blood keeps spilling in the streets ’cause of ill feelings in the hood
