Lyrics
If I die today mama I loved ya Said if I die today mama I loved ya If I die today mama I loved ya
Listen I'm dead inside Is my religion a threat to ya He was only 17 was shot and killed Was he a threat to ya
What type of system this is How you gone serve this country When they killing your own blood
And I'm dead inside Ion even think I belong All they do is hate on us Whether it's our religion or skin complexion They shoot us They shoot us
Yeah told em my hands up wasn't resisting He pushed me on the ground I started bleeding Told him I was suffocating couldn't breathe Yeah people was on my side calling that man crazy yeah But this the world we live in People rather have man rule this world than see a woman People can't stand same sex marriage yeah People hate and kill Cause that shit easy yeah
Feels like we going back in time This ain't the fucking 60s
They say don't take your life for granted You only brought back on this earth If you ain't learned your lesson If you ain't learned your fucking lesson
Wonder what they'll say when they figure out we all bleed the same way We all bleed the same way Said fuck the world cause can't nobody understand the pain that you been through Fuck the world cause can't nobody understand the pain that you been through I said you only brought back on this earth if you ain't learned your fucking lesson
Just shoot me 10 times Just shoot me 10 times I don't wanna go back in time I've had enough my hands up
Yeah mama if I die today I loved ya Mama if I die today I loved ya Mama if I die today I loved ya I loved ya Mama if I die today I loved ya Mama if I die today I loved ya Mama if I die today I loved ya Loved ya
