lyrics
[Verse I]
Say something, you should say something, you should say something /
Pray or something, that’s the new fad, just to pray and humbly /
Ask your god or whatever religion for that grace coming /
#hashtag it, get that trending topic just to gain something /
Exploit it baby, exploit it for the cream honey /
Pay your team, baby, you can live your Black dream, baby /
Scheme, baby, undercut the real ones on the scene, baby /
Hop in your vehicle and go stupid, what you think they can /
Say baby, leave ‘em mute ‘cause they can’t say a thing, baby /
Open your newsfeed and see the culture you feasting on /
And the people inside it struggling, baby- wait a /
Minute, now you seem angry, baby, you don’t get that we been /
Dealing with your type for a while, huh? Sounds about /
White- I mean, right, but right about now? I’m fed up /
And everytime we mention it you get indignant quick ‘cause it ain’t /
Affecting your kids or way of life and it’s harsh…
[Hook]
So we march (you get mad) we protest (you get mad) /
Give our hearts (you get mad) yet we blessed (and you mad) /
When we speak (you get mad) so we knee (you get mad) /
We get killed (you get silent) yet you don’t see why we riot /
We complain (you get mad) we maintain (you get mad) /
Do our thang (you get mad) stay the same (you get mad) /
Use our wits (We think fast) self-defense (you get mad) /
We get murdered (and you silent) and you don’t see why we violent /
Why won’t you-
[Bridge]
Say something (something) /
Say something (something) /
Say something-
[Verse II]
Say something, you should say something, you should say something /
Pray or something, that’s the new phase just to pray and humbly /
Ask God or whatever your faith for that grace coming /
Hashtag that #PrayForPuertoRico, get that trending topic /
Make it viral then shoutout your team, gone and link something /
Exploit it baby, exploit it for the cream- hold up /
See i’m just tired of all of it, stupidly lacking in common sense /
All of this BS I’m off it, annoyed I have to defend myself from this ignorance /
See I could see that my vocals cn come off as shocking to most /
And i appreciate you and yours for letting me know, but ELJAY ain’t shamed over here /
These people don’t seem to get that we taking a knee to keep from grabbing pistols and /
Throwing these fists, suspending Jemele ain’t gon’ quiet your set, blackballing Kaepernick /
Ain’t gonna stop us, we’ll never forget, I’m about three minutes away from just /
Turning Incredible Hulk with the rage, endangering all of your women and children and /
Asking you afterwards if you relate, but I know that ain’t the way or the wave /
So I just funnel all that energy into finding a difference to make…
[Hook]
