Lyrics to Burn It Down

[Verse]

Yeah, twelve killing niggas every second

Got me stressin', riding 'round with illegal weapons for protection

We been begging, we been begging, we been begging

Fighting this oppression, still getting neglected

Burn that shit down 'til its melting (Burn it down)

Burn that shit down 'til they get the message (Burn it down)

Burn that shit down 'til they respect us (Burn it down)

Burn that shit down

Momma pray for me, even when you ain't sleeping

So scared to die, I don't sleep, I be up geekin'

Got smoke with the opps, fuck the cops

Got me ridin' 'round with Glocks, scrеaming "fuck polices"

Or policies, you know what I mean, and I mеan it

I ain't never seen racism, 'til I seen it

Niggas hanging from trees in 2020, I can't believe it

2020 with that chopper, I bet I'ma hit 'em

What the fuck I'm 'posed to tell my children?

Since we colored, we ain't got no privilege

Since we colored, we ain't really got no meaning (Fuck no)

Since we colored, they kill us for no reason

No, no, no, no, I ain't going for that (I ain't going for that)

My ancestors been fighting for too long for that (Too long)

And this dick on that .40 is too long for that (Swear its too long)

Fuck 'em

Twelve took my breath away when I heard him say "I can't breathe" (I can't breathe)

Kaepernick took a knee, but twelve took a life with their knees

Over 400 years niggas been protesting for peace

Even protesting peacefully, but get shot and get beaten

How long you think we 'gon keep going for that? (How long?)

How long you think we 'gon keep going through that? (How long?)

How long you think you 'gon keep doing us that? (How long?)

How long you thought it would take before we react?

We smarter than we ever been (Ever)

And we know how to shoot F&N's

Taking headshots, ain't no legs and limbs

Taking headshots, fuck the legs and limbs

I been ridin' round, feeling like a monster

Police tryna take me from my son and my daughters

I ain't pussy, and thats the way I was brought up

Streets taught us, never let 'em take nothin' from you

President got us twisted like a Backwood

Let me know if I'm tripping or is it that good

I ain't seen a cracker hanging out in the backwoods

I wish the KKK would, I swear to God its gonna be a massacre

If I start snatching up white folk like I'm a wrestler

And make 'em come to my house, work for me, and call me master, while they locked and shackled

And take 'em away from all their family and children

And now they try to run away from me, I whip 'em

And if they go against me, I probably'll kill 'em

Would you respect me, or call me a killer?
