Hands Up - Tg3

Pop pop

That’s regardless

Pops told me that the number degrees

That I got don’t make me less a target

I could be minding my own

In my zone really trynna get the harvest

I ain’t even gotta start it

Yeah this world can be heartless

Shoot you walk with no charges

See this historical element

Centuries yeah the story we telling it

Started with a disease of the melanin

Never get any ease, we the felons

See

This thing called justice

Be hard to find when it’s just us

On the other side of that gun barrel

We fear the one who might bust us

Either lock lock

Or that pop Glock

But that drop top getting stopped

Assuming we playing hopscotch

With them hot rocks

But we not

Yeah they riding round on our block

This ain’t even round where they stay

I never know if it’s gonna come

So I wake up everyday pray

I know why they scared a young black men

They can’t find a soul looking thru my black skin

Uhh Michael Jackson hmm

Cleared up

Damn

They still drag ya name thru the dirt bruh (damn)

Even with the fame u ain’t worth none (damn)

Im a thug with a bone to pick

Play a harmony you won’t forget

Time after time it’s the same people getting off

Yeah we noticed it

Pray to god that my church service never hits the news like a bulletin

Shots fired

Killing my dogs ain’t No Rottweiler

Heart full of fear that’s yo desire

All lives matter look who’s deciding ahh

Just let me get 5 Milly till I’m 38 before you shoot me in my 31 good vertebrae

Then you see me flop on yo tv screen Lance Stevenson

Turn me into another face on a T Shirt

Sell it for $ 20 our pockets real hurt

But that’s the cost of a life when u built for the hearse so they say

Yo.

They don’t want us making moves B. Try to stop the movement

Probably choke us out right on the street, until homie stop moving

When I see a cop on my block, put my head down, keep it moving

I just wanna get home, chill, put my feet up, and watch a movie.

Damn

Man I swear some cops are lazy.

Trigger happy, shooting babies

Probably clap on an old lady.

OMG this shit is crazy.

You’re a target,

whether you’re taking a train or a mercedes.

So I’m dangerous cause I’m black.

You’re mistaken

Look.

I don’t want no problems with you, I just wanna live.

Wanna live in peace

and be treated fair.

See you on the streets, be happy that you here.

Be filled with hope, when I call you and not filled with fear

OK your job is rough, and it’s dangerous yo.

But you shooting people down,

that obey you though.

We need change now;

not next year.

Just wanna feel safe.

Hope I made that clear
