The Bigger Picture

Lil Baby

Protests and growin' national outcry continues over the death of George Floyd (Section 8 just straight cooked this motherfucker up) Last night, people protestin' in Minneapolis escalated As demonstrators were lashed by tear gas and rubber bullets The main message here, the main message here, the main message here Is that they want to see those officers involved They want to see those officers arrested Officers arrested (I can't breathe, I can't breathe) Trade my 4x4 for a G63, ain't no more free Lil Steve I gave 'em chance and chance and chance again, I even done told them please I find it crazy the police'll shoot you and know that you dead, but still tell you to freeze Fucked up, I seen what I seen I guess that mean hold him down if he say he can't breathe It's too many mothers that's grievin' They killin' us for no reason Been goin' on for too long to get even Throw us in cages like dogs and hyenas I went to court and they sent me to prison My mama was crushed when they said I can't leave First I was drunk, then I sobered up quick When I heard all that time that they gave to Taleeb He got a life sentence plus We just some products of our environment How the fuck they gon' blame us? You can't fight fire with fire I know, but at least we can turn up the flames some Every colored person ain't dumb and all whites not racist I be judgin' by the mind and heart, I ain't really into faces Fucked up, the way that we livin' is not gettin' better, you gotta know how to survive Crazy, I had to tell all of my loved ones to carry a gun when they goin' outside Stare in the mirror whenever you drive Overprotective, go crazy for mine You gotta pay attention to the signs Seem like the blind followin' the blind Thinkin' 'bout everythin' that's goin' on I boost security up at my home I'm with my kind if they right or they wrong I call him now, he'll pick up the phone And it's five in the mornin', he wakin' up on it Tell 'em wherever I'm at, then they comin' I see blue lights, I get scared and start runnin' That shit be crazy, they 'posed to protect us Throw us in handcuffs and arrest us While they go home at night, that shit messed up Knowin' we needed help, they neglect us One of them who gon' make them respect us 'Cause I can see in your eye that you fed up Fuck around, got my shot, I won't let up They know that we a problem together They know that we can storm any weather It's bigger than black and white It's a problem with the whole way of life It can't change overnight (nah) But we gotta start somewhere Might as well gon' 'head start here We done had a hell of a year I'ma make it count while I'm here God is the only man I fear Fuck it, I'm goin' on the front line He gon' bust your ass if you come past that gun line You know when the storm go away, then the sun shine You gotta put your head in the game when it's crunch time I want all my sons to grow up to be monsters I want all my daughters to show out in public Seems like we losin' our country But we gotta stand up for somethin', so this what it comes to Every video I see on my conscience I got power, now I gotta say somethin' Corrupted police been the problem where I'm from But I'd be lyin' if I said it was all of them I ain't do this for the trend, I don't follow them Altercations with the law, had a lot of them People speakin' for the people, I'm proud of them Stick together, we can get it up out of them I can't lie like I don't rap about killin' and dope, but I'm tellin' my youngins to vote I did what I did 'cause I didn't have no choice or no hope, I was forced to just jump in and go This bullshit is all that we know, but it's time for a change Got time to be serious, no time for no games We ain't takin' no more, let us go from them chains God bless they souls, every one of them names It's bigger than black and white It's a problem with the whole way of life It can't change overnight (nah) But we gotta start somewhere Might as well gon' 'head start here We done had a hell of a year I'ma make it count while I'm here God is the only man I fear They trainin' officers to kill us, then shootin' protesters with these rubber bullets They regular people, I know that they feel it These scars too deep to heal us What happened to COVID? Nobody remember It ain't makin' sense, I'm just here to vent It happen to one of your people, it's different We get it, the system is wicked, just learn how to pick it Knowledge is power, I swear I'm a witness, I know that I'm gifted I won't go too deep 'cause I'm scared they'll get me Ain't scared to admit it, some shit I can't mention It's people who can, well, here's the chance I won't take the stand, but I'll take a stand for what I believe Must not be breathin' the air that I breathe You know that the way that I bleed, you can bleed I never been a fan of police But my neighborhood know I try to keep peace So it's only right that I get in the streets March for a reason, not just on GP Our people died for us to be free Fuck do you mean? This was a dream Now we got the power that we need to have They don't want us with it and that's why they mad, yeah It's bigger than black and white It's a problem with the whole way of life It can't change overnight (nah) But we gotta start somewhere Might as well gon' 'head start here We done had a hell of a year I'ma make it count while I'm here God is the only man I fear It's bigger than black and white It's a problem with the whole way of life It can't change overnight (nah) But we gotta start somewhere Might as well gon' 'head start here We done had a hell of a year I'ma make it count while I'm here God is the only man I fear
