Paroles de 'I Need Answers' par Dizzy Wright

The images from this weekend's
Violence in the streets
Stores being looted and riot police
With dogs barking and charging protesters
It all started with the fatal shooting
By police of an unarmed black teenager

The fbi has now opened an investigate of the shooting
The shooting of eighteen year old micheal brown
Has opened a wound in the community

Neva thought today God would take my friend
But I'm dealing with it
The police is at it again
And they killing the innocent
They consider us gangsters
If we don't walk around acting like brothers is feminine

Y'all run off adrenaline
How ya obey the law by harassing a citizen?
How we supposed to feel safe if ya always act scared of us?
Somebody must have told ya a lie
Not surprised that they calling us animals

Living in poverty, tryna survive
They say don't be mad at the cops
96 Percent killing is black on black crime
They don't want us to be outraged
But how we eva gon' change if we don't even try

Why, do they kill us when they feel uncomfortable?
This shit is dysfunctional
We lost one of my homies about a month ago
Why, do we always feel like a target?
I know it's because of my skin, what would ya call it?
I need answers man

Please tell me something
How out of the blue, the one in the black
Get shot down fo nothing
I just don't know, it feel like some nonsense
Feel like some bullshit
Please tell me something
I need answers man
All of the sudden, boys in the blue shoot boys who are black

Shoot them fo nothing
Where they do that at?
I just don't know it feel like some nonsense
Feel like some bullshit
Please tell me something
I need answers man
It's no science to it
They treat us bad cuz they see how we living

Tell us take what was given
The government been
Against us since the very beginning
What if we took our guns off us and put em on y'all
And then asked God fo forgiveness
Trying to get thru to the public
Marching and screaming fo justice
Only get us pushed to religion

Hands up, don't shoot!
We beg to be humans, we must got a snake involved
If martial law can happen any minute
Then what's an unpaid suspension if ya break the law?
Killin' us isn't the answer
Establish facts befo the propaganda
Look, these regular people with regular lives
Badges should come with a body camera
Why erry chance they get

Why, do they kill us when they feel uncomfortable?
This shit is dysfunctional
We lost one of my homies about a month ago
Why, do we always feel like a target?
I know it's because of my skin, what would ya call it?
I need answers man
I need answers man
I need answers man
We need, answers

What now, fight back, bust back till they scared of that
Cuz willie lynch wrote a letter on controllin black people
And we still ain't repent from that
Might as well pull out the rope
I'm not pointin no fingers, I'm blamin us both
It's obvious we can stand fo the right things
But media plays a problem with the things they promote
Fightin in a lose lose battle, tryin' to raise peace

But it don't come natural
Walkin in the streets, holdin up signs
And they throwin tear gas at us like the shit don't matter
It was a peaceful protest befo looters
We the violent ones, but they the shooters
Can't be teachin these kids ya gon' be
Mistreated by the police fo bein a human

I mean what kind of future is that?
What it take to get back? I'm a man, I know betta
Maybe me and my folks should vote betta
Or maybe I should get out this country
Cuz they aren't gon' eva respect us
Until we start fuckin up all of their money
But until then, pump yo fists if ya still in
Cuz we will win, time to get at it

Why, do they kill us when they feel uncomfortable?
This shit is dysfunctional
We lost one of my homies about a month ago
Why, do we always feel like a target?
I know it's because of my skin, what would you call it?

I need answers man
Please tell me something
How out of the blue, the one in the black
Get shot down fo nothing
I just don't know, it feel like some nonsense
Feel like some bullshit
Please tell me something
I need answers man

All of the sudden, boys
In the blue shoot boys who are black
Shoot them fo nothing
Where they do that at?
I just don't know it feel like some nonsense
Feel like some bullshit
Please tell me something
I need answers man
