K-Proetic - Don't Ask Why
Don't ask why the system broke, it ain't fixed you know that it was built like that
Don't ask why these racist monsters all hated Colin when he kneeled like that
Don't ask why they kill your leaders then question why you feel defeated
That's how they were built to treat us, they don't even got real skills to beat us, like Damn
We gotta strategize, then organize, with a focused mind
With the young man's strength and the older guys
Who are old and wise, then mobilize, like that
We gotta purchase black, black families deserve the racks
Don't lowball, they worth the stacks
Where ya wallet and ya purses at
Don't ask why these politicians, never have the heart to listen
To your problems and honestly, they don't play a part in fixing
Not one thing but we give 'em large positions
Don't ask why these cops don't serve and protect. They don't deserve your respect
Ain't y'all know they were slave patrol in the days of old
Now they murder for checks
Let it be set in stone
We must protect our own
So please invest in a legal weapon, protect your home
The same people who plotted to make them buildings crash
Know what they did to your ancestors in the past, still they ask
Why do you walk like that?
Why do you talk like that? Get chalked like that?
Why do you rap like that?
Why do you act like that? Trap like that?
Why do you dress like that?
Why do you rep like that? Stress like that?
Why do you move like that?
Why do you groove like that?
I said I'm black yall! I'm black yall!
I'm black yall! I'm black yall!
Don't run me down or gun me down in my backyard (In my backyard)
Don't ask why they fear for they life every time they approach us and blast us
Don't ask why they pro-life until that life grows up to be a black one
Don't ask why they gave us syphilis and had smallpox in the blankets then
Don't ask why these black soldiers all fought for a country that hated them like damn
Don't ask us why they looting?
It all starts with a violent shooting
No justice, these cops are ruthless
But I know why, it is not confusing
Wake up, the truth around us
Please don't argue with fools about it
Don't ask why these dudes are violent
Real question is what we doing 'bout it
I don't talk to Satan
Begging him please stop the heinous
Crimes we facing, across the nation
Bank on yourself and God to save us
Cause imma have some kids
Imma show them what real black magic is
Imma teach them about each activist
And how they paved the way for us blacks to live
Let it be set in stone
We must protect our own
So gain some financial knowledge, learn to invest and grow
The same people who turned Black Wall Street into ash
Know what they did to your ancestors in the past, still they ask
Why do you walk like that?
Why do you talk like that? Get chalked like that?
Why do you rap like that?
Why do you act like that? Trap like that?
Why do you dress like that?
Why do you rep like that? Stress like that?
Why do you move like that?
Why do you groove like that?
I said I'm black yall! I'm black yall!
I'm black yall! I'm black yall!
Don't run me down or gun me down in my backyard (In my backyard)
I said I'm black yall! I'm black yall!
I said I'm black yall! I'm black yall!
Don't run me down or gun me down in my backyard (In my backyard)
