Sometimes it's hard to wake up in the morning
Mind full of demons, I don't wanna hear 'em anymore
Got me heartbroken fine, so many babies screaming
Cause they're seeing destruction before they see a human being
Skin head, dead head
Everybody gone bad
Situation, aggravation
Everybody allegation
In the suite, on the news
Everybody dog food
Bang bang, shot dead
Everybody's gone mad
All I wanna say is that
They don't really care about us
We'll never get our day until we learn to pray
All I wanna say is that
They don't really care about us
We can all make a change so I'm told but I haven't seen the change unfold
Beat me, hate me
You can never break me
Will me, thrill me
You can never kill me
Jew me, sue me
Everybody do me
Kick me, kike me
Don't you black or white me
All I wanna say is that
They don't really care about us
I keep hoping please, if you prefer to breathe
All I wanna say is that
They don't really care about us
Communities in need of people that will lead
Tell me what has become of my life
I have a wife and two children who love me
I am the victim of police brutality, now
I'm tired of bein' the victim of hate
You're rapin' me off my pride
Oh, for God's sake
I look to heaven to fulfill its prophecy...
Set me free
Skin head, dead head
Everybody gone bad
Trepidation, speculation
Everybody allegation
In the suite, on the news
Everybody dog food
Black male, black mail
Throw your brother in jail
All I wanna say is that
They don't really care about us
I keep hoping please if you prefer to breathe
All I wanna say is that
They don't really care about us
Communities in need of people that will lead
Tell me what has become of my rights
Am I invisible because you ignore me?
Your proclamation promised me free liberty, now
I'm tired of bein' the victim of shame
They're throwing me in a class with a bad name
I can't believe this is the land from which I came
Skin head, dead head
Everybody gone bad
Situation, speculation
Everybody litigation
But if Roosevelt was living he wouldn't let this be, oh no!
Skin head, dead head
Everybody gone bad
Situation, speculation
Everybody litigation
Beat me, bash me
You can never trash me
Hit me, kick me
You can never get me
You know I really do hate to say it, the government don't wanna see
But if Roosevelt was living he wouldn't let this be, oh no!
Skin head, dead head
Everybody gone bad
Situation, speculation
Everybody litigation
Beat me, bash me
You can never trash me
Hit me, kick me
You can never get me
Some things in life they just don't wanna see
But if Martin Luther was livin'
He wouldn't let this be, no, no
Skin head, dead head
Everybody gone bad
Situation, segregation
Everybody allegation
In the suite, on the news
Everybody dog food
Kick me, kike me
Don't you wrong or right me
All I wanna say is that
They don't really care about us
I keep hoping please, if you prefer to breathe
All I wanna say is that
They don't really care about us
Communities in need of people that will lead
All I wanna say is that
They don't really care about us
All I wanna say is that
They don't really care about
All I wanna say is that
they don't really care about
All I wanna say is that
They don't really care about us
Keep your eyes open I
can only say I'll trie
Until the day I die
Rest in peace Michael... ♥
