400 years - micahtron lyrics
[chorus]
over 400 years
how many more
of my people gotta die up in this war>
they been lynching
and k!lling us like a sport
in the midst of revolution
what your allies hoping for?
in the midst of revolution
do your allies open doors?
a closed mouth don’t get fed
that’s exactly what they taught us
we out here fighting
for our sons and our daughters
it’s either h*ll or high waters
nothing can hold us
[verse 1]
no justice, no peace
defund white supremacy
defund the police
martin luther had a dream
and they k!lled my n*gga too
’cause they knew he was a king
screaming: “let our freedom ring
and we shall overcome”
while he held the bible
staring down the barrel of a gun
one shot, the man’s gone
no hope to move on
so we burning cities down
and take whatever we want
look
we ain’t ask to be black
but we proud as a b*tch
wit’ our fair nappy hair
melanin skin rich
thick ass and full lips
fried chicken and hot grits
watermelon and hot chips
you f*cking culture vultures
imitating our music and style
but don’t support us
wanna rape our young sons and
beautiful daughters
then turn around and call us n*ggas
like y’all ain’t just want us
[chorus]
over 400 years
how many more
of my people gotta die up in this war>
they been lynching
and k!lling us like a sport
in the midst of revolution
what your allies hoping for?
in the midst of revolution
do your allies open doors?
a closed mouth don’t get fed
that’s exactly what they taught us
we out here fighting
for our sons and our daughters
it’s either h*ll or high waters
nothing can hold us
[verse 2]
look
we birth leaders and they k!ll ’em
so ain’t no hope for the people
if it ain’t no voice to lead them
bleed ’em
on the street
cnn newsfeed
record repost to social media
and then repeat it
wake up and go to sleep
we dream the enemy
finding peace in the streets
is all we wanna see but
not until the revolution has diseased
’cause they got us face down
on our necks ’til we can’t breathe and
tear gas in our face
so we don’t see them
sneak attack
undercover’s march
like we don’t peep them
my people screaming
f*ck the police dem
’cause every day they f*cking us up
then say we need them
defund the whole system
give us back our freedom
oh, wait, we never had that
’cause we was only heathens
that’s why we call upon jesus
the only name that we can drop
to try to save us from the demons
[outro]
400 years
how many more
of my people gotta die up in this war?
they been lynching
and k!lling us like a sport
in the midst of revolution
what your allies hoping for?
what your allies hoping for?
