Key Lyrics

White kids are brought in alive

Black kids get hit with like five

Get scared, you panic, you’re goin’ down

The disadvantages of the brown

How in the hell the parents gon’ bury their own kids, not the other way around?

Reminds me of Emmett Till

Let’s remind ’em why Kap kneels [2]

Black Empowerment
