Xodiax - The Declaration lyrics

[Verse 1] Just woke up to the sad news Another n***a shot down on tulip street So many flowers in the Black garden With they pedals plucked over concrete Young women dawning angel wings Tryna fly to safety getting hung in cells Black bodies burning down in churches Tryna pray to God cuz we live in hell Traffic stops turn to funerals And raised hands turn to "k** me now" Cops already on the next victim Before the last victim even hit da ground Tell me who you protecting? Who you arresting? That's why I spit wit a message? You will be contested [Hook] That's why I'm yelling I'M HERE And I ain't going nowhere I ain't going nowhere America I'M HERE And I ain't going nowhere I ain't going nowhere White privilege I'M HERE And I ain't going nowhere I ain't going nowhere All my people WE HERE And we ain't going nowhere We ain't going nowhere We ain't going no [Verse 2] Nooses hanging off of a college trees Racism in the campus breeze n***as saying that it ain't a hate crime the same people Shouting they can breathe My momma telling me to make it home And it hurts my heart I can't promise that Shawty saying trust her, she love me But my people dying got my heart detached Cuz that last text might just be my last That last drink might just be my last The last time that I dap my n***a Might be the last time that we hang and laugh Cuz they k**ing us off They k**ing us all But believe through it all Believe thought it all [Hook] I'm yelling I'M HERE And I ain't going nowhere I ain't going nowhere America I'M HERE And I ain't going nowhere I ain't going nowhere White privilege I'M HERE And I ain't' going nowhere I ain't going nowhere All my people WE HERE And we ain't going nowhere We ain't going nowhere We ain't going no
