Wanna ask the government
why yall hate us so much
Wanna ask the other color
why yall hate us so much
Wanna ask the law
why yall hate us so much
Wanna ask the prosecutor
why yall hate us so much
Is it our skin color
Or is it the way we talk
You hate us cause we us
Or you hate us
cause we fought
Is it the way we live
Or is it the way we walk
We never had shit so
it can't be nothing we bought
The shit yall took us through
probably the reason we off
Our pride we still got it
the only thing we ain't lost
Defending ourselves shit
that was something
we was taught
Done been through
the roughest times
but all of it ain't our
fault
Wish I can add up the years
in prison our peoples caught
The government the strippers
we ain't really have a choice
Your peoples go to college
mine peoples go to court
Yo peoples was
born with money
my peoples was born broke
Yo peoples lived in mansions
my peoples hung from ropes
Yo peoples had it made
all my peoples had was hope
Yo peoples had help
all my peoples heard was NO
My peoples thought about it
yo peoples cut our throats
The respect we had for
one another shit
wasn't even close
We had to entertain
that was our only open door
If we wanted to make it
we had to rap sang
or try sports
We couldn't afford a full
ride shit my people poor
My people ain't mad yo
people hates us though
But we the one who
struggling so
why yall hate us for
The police want us bad
the judge hate us more
The jury think we guilty
before we come
through the door
And yall take our money
but yall wont help us though
And yall biggest
fear is to see my people grow
But our biggest fear is
too die before we turn 24
In every lawyers past
design to sank us more
And every time we go
to jail yall get paid though
But when we ask for money
yall slam the door
They say our president black
but we can't tell though
We only got ourselves
now that's what's real though
I know yall hate our guts
that's how yall feel though
But yall ain't gotta like us
just let us live though
And cause we black bruh
don't mean we steal though
And just cause
we from the ghetto
don't be mean we dumb bro
We just as smart as ya'll
but ya'll don't want
the world to know
But all we wanna know
why ya'll hate us so much
why ya'll hate us so much
why ya'll hate us so much
all we wanna know
why ya'll hate us so much
why ya'll hate us so much
why ya'll hate us so much
