Police The Police

What am I supposed to do? Yeah
Ain't walked a mile in my shoes, but ya
Act like you know what I've been through
'Cause your privilege
Lets you look the other way
And have nothing to say
When you hear my people cry, yeah
I'm not ready to die, no

I can't breathe
No justice, no peace
We stand side by side, as one
To undo what they have done
I'm gonna fight for my color
I'm gonna stand with my brothers
The tears from my sister
Don't comfort my mother
Yeah, not when she's scared for my father

Who gon' police the police? Eh
Who gon' police the police? Tell me
Racism bloodies the streets
What makes you better than me?
Who gon' police the police? Eh
Who gon' police the police? Tell me
Racism bloodies the streets, eh
So who gon' police the police?

What if you were born in my skin
Wonder, would you feel different?
'Cause you don't have to hate me
They taught you the wrong thing
Why can't we be gray?

When they screaming "I can't breathe"
No justice, no peace
We stand side by side, as one
To undo what they have done
I'm gonna fight for my color
I'm gonna stand with my brothers
The tears from my sister
Don't comfort my mother
Yeah, not when she's scared for my father

Who gon' police the police? Eh
Who gon' police the police? Tell me
Racism bloodies the streets
What makes you better than me?
Who gon' police the police? Eh
Who gon' police the police? Tell me
Racism bloodies the streets, eh
So who gon' police the police?

I got a testimony I don't like to talk about
See, I been profiled and I been beat down
I'm emotional, it's messing up my speech now
I'm tryna preach now, should let me reach out
If you walking by the people, keep your head up
Don't be afraid to use your voices when you fed up
Had a time [?] and, yeah, I sped up
Soon as I seen them lights, I knew I messed up
I ain't do nothing wrong, you couldn't tell me that
Like, "Just be patient and comply", how you gon' sell me that?
When I be seeing people getting dropped on the pavement just for waving
Lord, please forgive [?] this country in need of saving

Who gon' police the police? Eh
(Take these handcuffs off us)
Who gon' police the police? Tell me
(Take your knees off our necks)
Racism bloodies the streets
([?] our rights)
What makes you better than me?
Who gon' police the police? Eh
Who gon' police the police? Tell me
Racism bloodies the streets, eh
So who gon' police the police?

Call on all my folks
We stand one together
