America's Fire - Kolo

People are tired, exhausted like an extinguisher

The fire’s rising, it’s hard to keep down the temperature

Can’t keep my cool when cops is out here ruthless

Before they pull us over they already plan to shoot us

Before we’re even born the system set up just put us down

They only love us when we balling or we rapping

And even then the love is fake your lacking in your action

If you see all that’s been happening, and don’t speak out on this madness

Where’s your empathy, try to see it through our lens

Why you value more the life of animals than you do men

Why you don’t see me as equal but still claim me as a friend

Why you act like centuries of oppression saw its end

Your silence deserves conviction, your ignorance is malignant

Any semblance of justice, you fill is just a figment

Of your imagination cops pull up like the blazers

Weapons drawn no hesitation inciting these situations

He wasn’t even armed resistance was never proven

His record’s non-relevant, your mind is too obtuse

To think that you the judge and jury, out here playing God

You hunting us for sport, Rest In Peace to Ahmad

So we running out of patience, burning down your stations

Looting all your property, so can make a statement

This the last resort since our voices being quieted

You’re to blame for America’s fire

America’s fire

Burning and looting, gas in the night sky

The blue walls form a trap that’s on all sides

White signs fill the black streets with hope

And my people never fall we gon' rise like the smoke yeah

Let it burn down, let it all burn down (yeah, yeah)

Let it burn down, let it all burn down (yeah, yeah)

Let it burn down, let it all burn down (yeah, yeah)

All burn down (yeah, yeah)

It’s just the worlds exfoliation

Removing all the evil on the surface we been facing

How are you surprised that a war is what we’re waging

When the congress broke its promises to those who built the nation

The war against injustice, the wrath of the incumbent

The lack of understanding of the hole you put us under

The lack of empathy when you see cries from a mother

The lack of action when you see the badge kill our brothers

Your ways are woven deeply in the fabric of America

Stitched by the founders, sewed the privilege you inherited

Didn’t pick that cotton that they used to make the cloth

And knew they lied when they wrote liberty for all

The garment needs a wash better yet incineration

And that’s what’s burning in the buildings that’s been blazing

The legacy of hate, the memories of pain

The Tulsa massacre, genocides on our race

The things we can’t erase, depicted as mistakes

Strategic laws, set up just to keep us second place

The laws we’ll eviscerate we no longer implore

Justice will be served, Rest In Peace George Floyd

Yeah we running out of patience, burning down your stations

Looting all your property, so can make a statement

This the last resort since our voices being quieted

You’re to blame for America’s fire

America’s fire

Burning and looting, gas in the night sky

The blue walls form a trap that’s on all sides

White signs fill the black streets with hope

And my people never fall we gon' rise like the smoke yeah

Let it burn down, let it all burn down (yeah, yeah)

Let it burn down, let it all burn down (yeah, yeah)

Let it burn down, let it all burn down (yeah, yeah)

All burn down (yeah, yeah)
