Shoot
Fat Trel Feat. Rick Ross Lyrics

Our Lord, grant us good in this world
May God bless us with goodness in this life

And good in the life, to come keep us safe from the torment of the fire
And protect us from the punishment of hell in the afterlife

As we keep our hands up high and scream for justice
As we raise our hands and demand justice

Ferguson, rest in peace Mike Brown
May Mike Brown, who died in Ferguson, rest in peace

And all the young soldiers out there
And all the young people fighting for justice

God help us
May God assist us

Time to take a stand and save our future
It is time to stand up and protect our future

Like we all got shot, we all got shot
As if we all experienced being shot, we are all affected

Throwing up our hands don't let them shoot us
Raising our hands is not a reason for them to harm us

'Cause we all we got, we all we got
Because we only have each other, we are all we have

God ain't put us on the Earth to get murdered, it's murder
God did not create us to be killed, it is murder

Don't point your weapons at me
Do not aim your weapons towards me

Seen the pictures, feel the pain, scandalous how they murder son
Witnessing the images and feeling the pain, it is scandalous how they kill young men

Tired of them killing us, I'm on my way to Ferguson
We are tired of being killed, I am going to Ferguson to protest

Talked to TIP, I talked to Diddy, them my brothers walking with me
I spoke with TIP and Diddy, they are my brothers supporting my cause

Mothers crying 'Stop the riots', we ain't got to chalk the city
Mothers are pleading to end the riots, we don't have to destroy the city

I seen Cole out there, felt I should go out there
I saw J. Cole protesting, and I felt compelled to join

They left that boy for hours in the cold out there
They left that young man outside in the cold for hours

They killin' teens, they killin' dreams (It's murder)
They are killing teenagers and destroying their dreams (It is murder)

Yo, come on we gotta stick together, we all we got
We need to unite and support each other because we only have each other

Police taking shots and I ain't talkin' 'bout Ciroc
Police are shooting, and I am not referring to Ciroc vodka

I'm talking 'bout Emmett Till, I'm talking bout Ezell Ford
I am referring to the killings of Emmett Till and Ezell Ford

I'm talking 'bout Sean Bell, they never go to jail for
I am talking about Sean Bell, and they never face punishment

Trayvon over Skittles, Mike Brown Cigarillos
Trayvon was killed for holding Skittles, Mike Brown for having cigarillos

History keeps repeating itself, like a Biggie instrumental
History continues to repeat, just like the beats in a Biggie song

America's a glass house and my revenge is mental
America is vulnerable like a glass house, and my revenge is psychological

Rather use my brain than throw a cocktail through a window
I would rather use my intelligence than resort to violence

I got the keys to the city still we left in the cold
Although I have influence, we are still neglected and abandoned

Hands in the sky, still was left in the road
Raising our hands didn't protect us, we were still mistreated

Ribbon in the sky, Michael Brown, another soul
Symbol of mourning in the sky for Michael Brown, another life lost

Stole by the system, black men we pay the toll
The system has stolen from us, black men pay the price

The price is your life, Uncle Sam want a slice
The cost is your life, Uncle Sam wants his share

Black dress code now we looting in the night
We are wearing black attire and resorting to looting at night

Now we throwing Molotovs in this holocaust
Now we are throwing Molotov cocktails in this catastrophe

And I know they hate to hear me screaming, 'I'm a Boss!'
I know they dislike hearing me declare, 'I am a boss!'

Tired of the okie-dokie, lying you Pinocchio
We are tired of the deception and lies, you are like Pinocchio

Driving while black, tell me, where am I supposed to go?
Being targeted for my race while driving, where am I expected to go?

Gun shots hit the car, now I got the holy ghost
The car was shot at, and now I am filled with fear

If excessive force was a drug, then they overdosed
If excessive force was a drug, they used too much

Got us tryin'a protest, it's a slow process
We are trying to protest, but it is a slow and lengthy process

Heard it's a lot of rotten eggs in the crow's nest
There are many corrupt individuals in positions of power

People praying on they feet, police holding on they heat
People are praying while standing, and the police have their weapons

Turned on the news and seen a tank rolling down the street (Yeah)
I turned on the news and witnessed a tank driving through the street

I seen a lot of ice water tossed, and I know it's for a cause
I witnessed a lot of people pouring ice water, and I know it is for a charitable cause

My only question is, what we doing for the loss
My only question is, what are we doing to address the losses

Of Mike Brown, 'cause right now, I challenge you to use your talents to
The loss of Mike Brown, because right now, I challenge you to utilize your skills to

Speak up, and don't you ever let them silence you
Speak out, and never allow them to silence you

'Cause action speaks louder than words, that's what I heard
Because actions have a greater impact than words, as they say

Shot down with his hands up, that's what occurred
He was shot even with his hands raised, that is what happened

Man that sound absurd
That sounds ridiculous

Matter fact to me that sound like murder
Actually, to me, that sounds like murder

We want justice
We demand justice

Ay yo Game, I had a crib out there, I used to live out there
Hey, Game, I had a house in Ferguson, I used to reside there

So I know how niggas feel out there
So I understand the emotions of the people there

People stressing, protesting, unity is a blessing
People are under stress, protesting, and unity is a blessing

So it's time we come together, use our voice as a weapon
Therefore, it is time for us to unite and use our voices as a weapon

I am Michael Brown, 'cause I stand for what he stand for
I am Michael Brown, because I support the values he stood for

News say we're looting, paint pictures like we some animals
The media portrays us as animals when they report about looting

On my NWA CMG
Representing my NWA (Niggaz With Attitude) crew and my record label, CMG

Hollin' 'Rest in peace Eazy and fuck the police'
Shouting 'Rest in peace Eazy and fuck the police'

Heard another brother slain up in St. Louis
Heard about another black man being killed in St. Louis

Sure the mother feel the pain, but what you famous doing?
The mother is surely feeling the pain, but what are the famous celebrities doing?

I’m sure the general population trying to be more active
I'm certain the general population is trying to be more involved

But when the light finally catches you, you ice challenge
But when the spotlight finally reaches you, you participate in the Ice Bucket Challenge

Okay, and I support the ALS just like the rest of them
Okay, and I also support ALS, just like the others

But you have yet to pay your debt, so you just flexing then
But you have not fulfilled your obligations, so you are just showing off

'Cause everybody care for a minute, then stop
Because everyone cares for a moment, and then they stop

People only there for a minute, then stop
People are only present for a moment, and then they stop

And what's the point of giving if you ain't giving your all?
What is the purpose of giving if you are not giving your everything?

We never getting ahead, might as well give up your heart
We are not making progress, so we might as well lose hope

Where does it end?
Where does it stop?

I got my hands up, what else am I supposed to do? (Rest in peace to Mike Brown)
I have my hands raised, what else am I expected to do? (Rest in peace, Mike Brown)

Where does it end? (And all the other fallen soldiers)
Where does it stop? (And all the other victims)

Tell me, where's the love for everything we're going through? (That will not be on the news or televised, ah)
Tell me, where is the support for what we are experiencing? (That will not be covered by the media, ah)

Mercy, mercy, mercy, mercy me
Please, please, please, have mercy on me

Hope that God can save us
I pray that God can rescue us

Martin Luther King had a dream!
Martin Luther King had a vision!

But they ain't respecting Jesse up out here
But they are not giving Jesse (Jackson) the respect he deserves

And they don't really respect Obama out here
And they do not truly respect Obama in this area

Lights out, go dark it's like a nightmare
Lights off, everything is dark, it feels like a nightmare

How the fuck you play the game, but they ain't playing fair
How can you participate in the game when they are not being fair

It's going down, Armageddon right here
It is happening, it is Armageddon right here

Right now, not on TV, but right here
Right now, not on television, but right here

Put your flags in the air if you don't really care (Wave it)
Raise your flags in the air if you truly do not care (Wave it)

We need justice, yeah, we need justice here
We need justice, yes, we need justice here

Heard he surrendered but we all saw how they did him
Heard that he surrendered, but we all witnessed how they treated him

Television broadcasts, a confused country
Television broadcasts causing a confused nation

I'm a resident of a nation that don't want me
I am living in a country that does not want me

What's done is done, the town erupts in fury
What is done is done, and the town is filled with anger

And I'm already hearing 'bout this lopsided jury
And I am already hearing about this biased jury

Three faces like his, the rest another story
Three faces look like his, the others have a different view

A lot of motherfuckers need to act more worried
Many individuals need to show more concern

The revolution has been televised
The revolution has been broadcasted on television

If I sit here and do don't do nothing, homie, that's genocide
If I remain idle and take no action, my friend, it is genocide

Fuck that, we have arrived!
Forget that, we have arrived!

And who cares who ain't on our side 'cause we on our own
And it doesn't matter who is not supporting us because we only have each other

How do you preach peace to a family that just lost they own?
How can you advocate for peace to a family that has just lost their own?

My brodie Game just banged my line like 'We gotta do something'
My friend Game called me urgently saying 'We need to take action'

All that marching and that peace ain't gonna fucking do nothing
All that marching and advocating for peace isn't going to achieve anything

Fuck it, my moms, sorry, I'm ready to rage
Sorry, Mom, but I am prepared to unleash my anger

The police done let the animals out of the cage, oh Lord it's
The police have released the animals from their cages, oh Lord, it's chaos

Stand up
Rise and take action
