C. Rich - No Way lyrics
rate meTake a look, look at me
Said I'm not a prisoner
But I’m still not free
I wake up every morning chain down in my mind
Too many lectures learned no lessons
Too much black and white
We are all brothers in his eyes
Tell all my people they should never let go
Say we'll make it better we just gotta tell ‘em no
No to the violence, no injustice for me
No to the police killing our men in the streets
So we telling ‘em no way
No way, no way, no way
Gotta tell ‘em no way
No way, no way, no way
Say, we can't take it no mooooore
Say we can't take it no moooooore
Take a look, look at me
I got in pack a pistol, just to get something to eat
My money come in real high
But I spend it real low
I stay popping a flats like
That's all I know
And I stay asking why
Why we don't go?
Run from the corners, blocks and the heat
Child shot dead, you can see ‘em in the street
Tell all my people they should never let go
Say we'll make it better we just gotta tell ‘em no
No to the violence, no injustice for me
No to the police killing our men in the streets
So we telling ‘em no way
No way, no way, no way
Gotta tell ‘em no way
No way, no way, no way
Say, we can't take it no mooooore
Say we can't take it no moooooore
They hit Michael with his hands up
Hit Oscar with his hands bound
Wasn't no Oscar for Michael
Or prison for Zimmer man under that stand ground
So we stand up 'til somebody stand tril
For Ezell and Eric, remaining and I’mma do
How we gonna take that shit layin’ down?
Get ferguson and tell it that's just how they want it
I'm nervous, my son on the way and they say he will treat by his first day
Better shut at a conviction than grad school admission by 25th birthday
Let me not tweak on, then white people tell us that we a post racial society(yeah right)
So post all they housing discrimination, acts of hating and racial profiling
Used to say we three fif of a human but now they just act like we a half of nothing
And Kemet with my niggas was ruling but now they pretend like we can't have discussions
Drillin’ and bussin’, frackin’ and stackin’
The shit got me feeling like blacker ?
I wish I could give you this theorem the serum to bost y’all abacus
Stay and try to tear it down gotta be adamant
Gotta be Adam, gotta be Eve
If they left the fruit on the trees
Still used the seeds muried ‘em down by the leaves
I'm Moses, I'm close as being their leader of men
Since they come to exceeding the sin
Since the system keeping me in
I’ve be telling them
So we telling ‘em no way
No way, no way, no way
Gotta tell ‘em no way
No way, no way, no way
Say, we can't take it no mooooore
Say we can't take it no moooooore
