Shahroz Role Reversal
[Intro]
Rest in peace George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery
Philando Castile, Eric Garner, Amadou Diallo, Trayvon Martin and the countless others
[Verse 1]
Rest in peace to the victims
And rest in hell to the system, yeah
Bogus drug charges, got my brothers in the prisons
It's time to fill em', with dirty cops and politicians
Guess what, you need a history lesson
Police in America, the roots were invented
The Carolina colonies made the slave catchers
That's centuries ago but we still get affected
So when you plant a seed, and it starts real toxic
How do you believe, they feeding you good product
Wait, now I want you to imagine this
Role reversal, but now you're the Kaepernick
Flip the map, so it's Africa on top
Ships full of Europeans, chained and they locked
And everybody laugh, call it crackas in a box
Til' they crackin' off the whip, on yo back, when it's hot
And imagine every country we invaded
We turned white skin into something that you hated
Instead of Trump, it's me as the president
Black and brown, making America great again
Livin' with no privilege for the fairer skin
And honestly Karen, you're f..cking embarrassing
So if I'm chillin, you should mind yo f..cking business
Pressin' charges while we dead, and somehow you're the victim
Man, this some shit I'll never get
How you think you better from the color of your skin
Race was a construct made by white men
But you gettin' spray tans, cause you lack melanin
Human genetics, we're virtually the same
Divide and conquer is the name of the game
Yeah I know, that some pharaohs gon' pharaoh
Some people are just evil, down to the marrow
I'm not talking to them, I'm talking to you
If we're changing history, you got a part to do
Yeah
[Outro]
Everybody has a part to play
But it starts with improving ourselves
Reflecting and realizing how we've been shaped and influenced
What we can do to make the world better
How we can lift each other up and not let history cycle how it has
Cause in the end, love is a powerful force
Peace
