Erick The Architect and Col3trane - WTF

He sends a blow to every Black American
Black people in United States, that's what he was sayin'
Why, why is it a player to you?
Because he's a part of me
Because he looks like me
And it scares me, he's a Black man and I'm a black man
(Yeah, yuh)

I woke up to a voice that wasn't my own (wake up)
Couple feet from me, dirt, cement, and limestone
I heard the cries bellow from this woman dressed in black
Held her tears, as if we can reconfigure this or that (wish I could change)
Not human, with multiple shots wounded
The hooty hoos patrollin' the block, deploy the units
They started shootin', they rendezvousing, only such a squad can do it
And they foolish if they think that lootin' shit is all we doin' (stupid)
It's bigger issues brewin', I'm just tryin' to join the movement
I'm just tryin' to warn the students, we at war, it's more than music
Damn, I'm humbled by the hindrance of man (uh-huh)
Back and forth we've endured all the ignorance of man (uh-huh)
Even in the smallest increments we bigger incident (bigger)
We gotta learn to embrace all the differences in hair
I don't know (what?), He don't sound like all the other shit I'm playin'
I'm just sayin' we all fucked if we sinkin' in the sand, yeah

Brother, don't go outside
There's murderers left and right
The rivers are running dry
They fillin' 'em with our kind
They're supposed to be on our side
I don't pray for nothin' (what the fuck is goin' on?)
But if I did, I'd pray for everybody under the sun
'Cause we're all fucked, yeah

Watchin' every day with your lyin' ass (watchin')
Couple cowards chillin', hid behind the bag (cowards)
I won't comply, sucka man you know the type
Reinforce my genes clone the test tubes with the prototype
Stop you mid-sentence this is unforeseen senses (hold up)
Plot and redistribute, open up that black business (come on)
See all my guy's winning, free the people, photo finish
But this is still a race you either with us or against us
I, I, I wanna fight the censorship, they silence us with shots
Not frequently enough to stop givin' what I got
Because too many of us, too many of us rot
Few have lived undetected by the demons from the top
Shadow lurkin' for the perfect murder
Fuck with us, we gon' crash the server
No Glocks, just Mr. Robot (yeah)
I hate to say its true, but I got evidence on you
If we all fucked, yeah, best believe it's fuck you

Brother, don't go outside
There's murderers left and right (yeah)
The rivers are running dry (dry)
They fillin' em with our kind
They're supposed to be on our side
I don't pray for nothin'
But if I did, I'd pray for everybody under the sun (imagine that)
'Cause we're all fucked (yeah)

I said, brother, don't go outside (ayy)
There's murderers left and right (ayy)
The rivers are running dry (ayy)
They fillin' em with our kind (ayy)
They're supposed to protect our lives
But they killin' us, what the fuck?
Where's the trust in being human?
I don't see no love
'Cause we're all fucked

Any time a black man in this country
Stands up for his constitutional rights, he dies
