Tell The Children
Tink

[Intro:]

Don't shoot

Tell the children to watch out, watch out

Don't shoot

Tell the children to watch out, watch out

Don't shoot


[Skit]

I'm here, I'm putting my life on the line for my people, I'm putting life on the line for everybody in this country. I believe in equality for everybody. And why do cops tell us we can't be like, like you said, we have a right to defend ourselves. Marshall Law


They have complete domain over us, they are like Gods. If they tell you not to do something, you cannot do it. And if you do, they will treat you like a dog. You will be shot down. Well at least for a black man, I'm not sure for everybody but I do understand that, I hope it's not like that for everyone


[Refrain]

Tell the children to, watch out

Keep runnin', runnin', runnin', runnin'

They're gainin' on us, oh they're gainin' on us

Keep runnin', runnin', runnin', runnin'

(Keep on, keep on)


[Verse:]

Plot twists, an enemy and his kids

We in the crib, it's a quarter past ten

Where your brother at? Run up in his room, pulled the cover back

Where I'm from niggas leave the porch and they don't make it back

Police life, nana starts pacing

Fuck the pigs want, what brings you here on this occasion?

Pow, pow, pow, pow, pow

Boys been gunned down, your boys is having fun now

With our blood and our sons, disturbing the peace

He's more afraid of him when he's the one with the piece?

Aaah, nana drop, she hollering Why God?!

[?] me tell us it's nothin' but their job

They profile us

Then they wonder why he grow up being prejudice and so violent

They trigger us down from the rich to the poor

They'll fuck with you cause they can't believe that it's yours

Registration, I'll give these fuckin' streets motivation

They wanna take us out so they start making allegations

I'm fed up, police comin' so we sped up

My nana told me fuck twelve keep yo' head up


[Refrain]


[Verse 2:]

King died for us niggas living in poverty

50 years later we still don't have equality, it bothers me

A badge is a pass to do whatever

So now we living in fear of the people here to protect us

Yo, they lie and disrespect us, kill us, and then neglect us

The problem when nobody sees the view from our perspective

My people shed blood from the acres you had stole

Now my people shedding blood on the gravel left in the cold

How these news anchors talking 'bout the struggle

These niggas had it good, never had a pat down up in they hood

Never had to take a charge, never had to stop the car

Never had to hit the stands so you would never understand

Be one hunnid, I'll meet you at the top just like a summit

My flows are repugnant, I'ma make you sound redundant

I really am messiah, bless the [?] before you tie it

Then I'm grabbing out I'll hook 'em [?]

Them niggas see me flyin' uh


[Refrain]
