Proud Boys
Lyrics
Yeah
Aye
Trials tribulations culture appropriation
Straight from plantations into incarceration
Mass segregation never got reparations
How in the world could this be the greatest nation
Crackas get loud when they feel a litle proud
Heard they crack a smile when they shooting in the crowd
Heard they blame niggas when the looting gettin wild
Heard they blame women when they rapist go to trial
Made CPS just to take a nigga child
Post ya mug shot cause they hate a nigga smile
GQ cover but they hate a nigga style
Put us in them cages then call a nigga wild
Knee up on the neck ain't even let a nigga scream
Murdered MLK ain't even let a nigga dream
Murdered Huey P said his beliefs was too extreme
Murdered Fred Hampton in the middle of his dream
Murdered Oscar Grant he was tryna make it home
Murdered Trayvon he was tryna make it home
Murdered Sandra Bland she was tryna make it home
Even murdered Breonna she was chilling in her home
Murdered George Floyd he was trynna cash a check
Murdered Willie Brown found him hanging by his neck
Murdered Rayshard Brooks he was tryna get some rest
Murdered Atatiana she was tryna get some rest
Murdered Alton Sterling he was tryna feed his fam
Murdered Eric Garner even had the shit on cam
Murdered Freddie Gray had him shackled in a van
Even shot Tamir with a toy in his hand
It's a couple things that you gotta understand
Niggas getting killed for stealing on stolen land
Niggas getting hung while they on they morning run
Mighty is the tongue but I suggest you keep a gun
Niggas getting murked just for sittin' on they porch
Niggas getting murked just for sittin' in they car
Niggas getting murked just for trynna get a meal
Niggas getting murked and we trynna make a mill
Hope you proud boy
I know you heard about them proud boys
Donnie Thornbury they some wild boys
I know you black but are you proud boy
I hope you proud boy
They so quick to cut the lights off around you
They don't know what happens in that dark plot to end a black life
But where there's an end there's a start so
When our people start wildin'
And we let them choppas sing
Know that it's the freedom of our ancestors spirit that's gon' ring around they fuckin' neck
Bet that
We ain't never had to beg to get our respect back
Even if we gotta shout from a mountain top to get our breath back
We gon' climb
We gon' get there every time
And we gon' cross them lines
Crucify us like Jesus
Burn this shit down
We resurrect
Ashes to ashes
Ashes to ashay
They get a rise outta seeing our flesh die
But surprise surprise
They done fucked up now
They let our spirits live free and unbound to a body
And all you got is fear to give
Tell you put your hands up
Slave your body to matter
Like you wasn't put here to live
Like you ain't already surrendered to a power higher than they stand
It's above you now
Get that shame from out your hands
Yeah
Aye
