Angels cry
Another body slain in the street
And we been needing change needing peace
We dying we can't take it no further
Heard the angels cry and they scream murder, murder
Heard the angels cry and they scream murder, murder
Know you hear them angels crying
Tired of seeing my brothers die and mamas cry
R.I.P. George Floyd when I seen that video I cried
I can do everything right but police can still take my life
Officers killin us can't do anything we helpless
Unarmed but they still shooting us we defenseless
If you ain't black you won't feel the pain, all these killings insane
I pray to God the deaths won't ever be in vain cause America gotta change
It's hard being black when your life ain't valued
If all lives matter why I gotta beg for mines
Yesterday was George Floyd today could be me, tomorrow could be you
We screaming Black Lives Matter, but they don't wanna see a black man prosper
Don't wanna see us succeed tried to keep us dumb
Didn't want us to learn how to read, but we gon overcome that's a guarantee
Another body slain in the street
And we been needing change needing peace
We dying we can't take it no further
Heard the angels cry and they scream murder, murder
Heard the angels cry and they scream murder, murder
Know you hear them angels crying
United we stand together we fall, but our leader he tryna divide us all
Be brave stay smart and stand tall
We gon build a bridge dig a tunnel if they build a wall
We all the same people we all bleed red
But damn why so many people silent when my people dead
Officer got a gun I ain't got shit but he filled me with lead
Emptied six bullets in me cause he was fucking scared
2020 This shit still going on I thought that was dead
Nah I'm the one dead, officer a hero is what some said
This is America land of the free, we gon hit the streets march for equality
For the people saying all lives matter, shit I don't see none of your people dying
Probably don't even fear for your life while driving
Police consider driving while black a crime
That's why we stay strapped from time to time
Another body slain in the street
And we been needing change needing peace
We dying we can't take it no further
Heard the angels cry and they scream murder, murder
Heard the angels cry and they scream murder, murder
Know you hear them angels crying
Like M.L.K. I got the same dream, one day we'll all be equal be free
Ain't promoting violence but if you gon shoot me regardless
Shit, I'd rather have my glock on me for protection, cause you mother fuckers heartless
Mr Bump acts like he doesn't have a clue, no justice no peace fuck the police
Black is excellence never forget, America was built on our blood and sweat
Pain and sacrifice the price was our life
R.I.P. Mike Brown another young black kid gone too soon
August 9th 2014, 21 days before my 20th birthday
Will never forget hands up don't shoot
I do it for Michael Brown I do it for Trayvon Martin
I do it for the niggas on the yard locked up wrongfully convicted innocent of any crime
Guilty for the color of their skin
If you don't support black lives matter...FUCK YOU
Another body slain in the street
And we been needing change needing peace
We dying we can't take it no further
Heard the angels cry and they scream murder, murder
Heard the angels cry and they scream murder, murder
Know you hear them angels crying
