[Intro: Common]
I realize, I am the hopeful black woman who was denied her right to vote
I am the caring white supporter killed on the front lines of freedom
I am the unarmed black kid who maybe needed a hand, but instead was given a bullet
I am the two fallen police officers murdered in the line of duty
We look to the future and we want to create a better world
Now is the time to change the world
[Verse 1: Juicy J]
God bless America, home of the brave
We ain't picking cotton no more but we're still slaves
They talk about peace, but how that's gon' be
When police leaving young niggas dead in the street
When niggas start shooting back, how they gon' act
And they wonder why a nigga stay strapped
They wonder why we trap, for real, real niggas don't rat
Black man, born with a target on his back
Standing with his hands up, screaming "Don't shoot!"
Biggest gang in America, the boys in blue
Now we gon' ride, now we gon' loot
Cause that black man could have been me or you
[Hook]
Don't shoot!
Don't shoot!
Don't shoot!
Don't shoot!
Don't shoot!
