black in america - celis lyrics

[intro]
reporter 1: in charlotte, north carolina a man involved in a car accident over the weekend went looking for help and wound up dead. he was shot again and again by a police officer who is now facing criminal charges
reporter 2: there are new developments in two high profile racially charged police shootings. they involve the deaths of two black men in separate incidents, one taking place in california the other in louisiana
reporter 3: police in california are investigating why two sacramento police officers shot and unarmed black man twenty times, and k!lled him

[verse 1]
get yo hands up, down on your knees, face on the pavement
no sudden moves or you ain’t making arraignment
they aiming, scared badges with minor training
self defense after they shooting is what they claiming
this ain’t a game boy, you better comply
don’t resist or you n-ggas will be saying goodbye
locked and loaded c-cked back, pigs ready to bust
and they never hesitate to turn any n-gga to dust
he reaching for something shoot open fire
bullets, hitting flesh, life slowly expires
now you, gasping for air, it’s leaving your body
for getting rowdy pay the piper i ain’t talking bout roddy, naw
f-ck your rights they ain’t reading miranda’s
said they, feared for they life, bullsh-t propaganda
brothers, are getting k!lled but wonder why i’m excited
f-ck a conviction, these pigs ain’t even getting indited

[chorus]
being black in america (bia, bia)
being black in america (bia, bia)
being black in america
this is what its like being black in america
being black in america (bia, bia)
being black in america (bia ,bia)
being black in america
let me show you what it’s like being black in america

[verse 2]
black, lacking of hue absent of light
enveloped into darkness n-gga i am the night
soiled or stained with dirt, gloomy or dismal
without moral quality wicked evil abysmal
these are terms that you use to define me
a thug is the label that you want to -ssign me
you put me in cage where they want me to rot
but won’t recognize the reason how i got in this spot
stripped my, culture heritage and religion
then they, replaced it with drugs i see the addiction
turnt us, against us each other i can see the division
how’s a brother suppose to make it living in these conditions, huh?
a man down by police getting beat
it’s a, man down lying dead in the streets
another, man down lying under the sheet
it’s just another man down cause of lies and deceit

[chorus]
being black in america (bia, bia)
being black in america (bia, bia)
being black in america
this is what its like being black in america
being black in america (bia, bia)
being black in america (bia, bia)
being black in america
let me show you what it’s like being black in america

[refrain]
b-i-a n-gga
gun to the head man they want a n-gga dead
this is b-i-a n-gga
many years bled been a lot of bloodshed
this is b-i-a n-gga
hate it when u black shoot a n-gga in the back
this is b-i-a n-gga
naw f-ck that sh-t man it’s time to fight back, get him
