Blackface
White man down
Black paint
Yell our race, stand in the crowd
While you screaming “All Live Matter”
Our men being shot to the ground
Blackface
But you got white lips
Blackface
Why you making your white supremacy the top of the list?
Blackface
You tryna catch these hands?
Cus’ you can catch me outside
Take that black paint off Man
You’re a fool
The disrespect is on 10
Claim you’re just having fun
These lies needa end
I’m tired of the mistreat
I just only want peace
Next time I see you with that black paint on
It’s finna be a rumble in the streets
