100 of Us
Kash Doll Lyrics

It's a cold world but it's warmin' up
The world may seem harsh, but there are indications of positive change.

We ain't got no choice but to run it up
We are obligated to work hard and strive for success in order to survive.

It ain't just one it's a hunnid of us
We are many strong, connected individuals who will work together to succeed.

Might not mean much to you but mean somethin' to us
Our struggles and successes may not matter to everyone, but they are important to us and our community.

Wanted, black man hunted
Black men are frequently targeted and harassed by law enforcement.

Shot down, gunned up, handcuffed, punished
Black men are often subjected to violence and unequal treatment by law enforcement, leading to imprisonment and punishment.

Fightin' for the basics, to them we just a number
We struggle for basic human rights, but to society we are seen as disposable and insignificant.

Will he list you niggas? You still wanna kill your brother?
Why would you contribute to the destruction of your own community?

Made you pledge the 'legience lie, they told you we was equal
The idea of 'liberty and justice for all' is not extended to all citizens equally, especially not to people of color.

Read between the lines, being black is still illegal
Blackness is still treated as a crime, no matter how much progress society claims to have made.

Killed off all our leaders, no more power to the people
Historically, leaders of movements for equality and justice have been systematically killed or silenced, removing the opportunity for progress and change.

Here we go again, this shit lookin' like a sequel
This plight is a recurring theme, with each generation experiencing similar struggles as their predecessors.

And they know it's shady, treat they pets more humanely
The system treats animals better than it treats people, revealing a disregard for human life and dignity.

I know y'all ain't crazy, miss the form, project babies
I understand that some people may not be able to relate to my experiences because they grew up in different circumstances.

If we don't come with dividend it's never gonna change
Without tangible progress and success, nothing will change.

'Cause niggas killed my daddy before I could say his name, it's a cold world
The world is cruel, evidenced by the fact that my father was killed before I even had a chance to know him.

They keep killin' us, no charges
Police continue to engage in unnecessary violence against black individuals, and they are not held accountable for their actions.

Hope you niggas watchin', what? We just gon' keep on marchin'?
I hope that others are paying attention to the ongoing injustices and are ready to join us in action to create change.

We gon' keep on bangin'?
Are we willing to continue fighting for our rights and our lives?

Twistin' up them fingers, 'til we make some changes niggas can't do no complainin'
We will continue to fight and resist for as long as it takes to see real progress, and in the meantime, we will not allow others to silence our voices.

Wait! Hold up let me finish, y'all know that I get it
I need to clarify my message and ensure that people understand where I am coming from.

Yeah it's plenty hood niggas, I heard doin' good bidness
Many individuals in impoverished communities are working hard to create positive change and succeed against the odds.

But you know they don't see that, if you black you sell drugs
Despite positive progress and change, stereotypes about black individuals continue to exist and are perpetuated by society.

And police cannot protect what they afraid of
Law enforcement is often fearful of and hostile towards people of color, making it impossible for them to serve and protect these communities effectively.

Jealousy breeds enemies, these niggas be envious
Resentment and jealousy tear communities apart, creating enemies where there should be solidarity.

Made it out, gave back, you took that, can't be serious
Individuals who have succeeded and given back to their communities are still attacked and discriminated against, leading to a feeling of injustice and despair.

Politicians, private prisons got us fillin' up the jails
The political and economic systems are designed to imprison and control those who are marginalized, rather than providing solutions and support for those in need.

We can't keep on begging for it time to help ourselves
We cannot wait for others to provide solutions and support, we must take action and help ourselves in order to create real progress and change.
