they’re laughing, i’m crying - y.b. calinsights@icloud.com lyrics
they’re laughing, i’m crying
verse 1
they sent their popo to intimidate me
harass me, arrest me, injure me, and k!ll me
then they said, “are you taking good care
of your women and children?”
i responded, “we have problems, sure enough
but you’re intimidating, harassing
arresting, injuring our women and children too.”
chorus
they said, “boy, you’re just making excuses
popo ain’t got nothing to do with your problems
you created them all yourself, it’s all in your imagination.”
i said, “structural racism ain’t real?”
“no, boy, just a figment of your imagination.”
basically, the way it’s s’posed to work is
we laugh, you cry!
got that?
verse 2
every day’s a battle, just trying to survive
while they’re out there living their easy lives
they don’t see the pain, don’t understand the fight
they just turn away, saying everything’s alright
chorus
they said, “boy, you’re just making excuses
popo ain’t got nothing to do with your problems
you created them all yourself, it’s all in your imagination.”
i said, “structural racism ain’t real?”
“no, boy, just a figment of your imagination.”
basically, the way it’s s’posed to work is
we laugh, you cry!
got that?
bridge
but i stand tall, won’t back down
through the tears, through the frowns
one day we’ll rise, one day they’ll see
the truth behind our history
chorus
they said, “boy, you’re just making excuses
popo ain’t got nothing to do with your problems
you created them all yourself, it’s all in your imagination.”
i said, “structural racism ain’t real?”
“no, boy, just a figment of your imagination.”
basically, the way it’s s’posed to work is
we laugh, you cry!
got that?
outro
we laugh, you cry, that’s how it’s been
but we’ll keep fighting until we win
