There's no real reason, they don't have any right
We live in fear
We've got no rights
Just looking for some homeys he can rough up in a fight
We've got no rights
The cops they did it just 'cause those kids color and their age
When cops can kill
No, it's not right
It's not right
They say we're here
We've got no right
They say we're here to keep the peace
It's not right
To keep the peace
All those cops they walked off free, but him he's in a grave
We've got no rights
When cops can kill
Fear of what you're gonna do, when a cop's talking shit to you
To keep the peace
It's not right
When cops can kill
They say, "That's not the truth", but this happens every fucking day
We've got no rights
It's not right
We live in fear
To keep the peace
We've got no rights
They say we're here
We've got no right
Patrol man cruising in his car at night
To keep the peace
We live in fear
When cops can kill
Pulled over 3 kids in a total rage
To keep the peace
It's not right
Driving in a neighborhood that's reigned by whites
Ain't healthy for a black man trying to live a lengthy life
They say we're here
It's not right
Next thing you know there's bodies all over the place
When cops can kill
3 kids vs. 6 or 7 cops all armed with billy clubs
To keep the peace
We've got no rights
We live in fear
It's not right
It's just that in their eyes he's not the correct shade of white
They say we're here
His name is Johnny Gammage, one of thousands they have slain
We've got no rights
His back up came and they're all acting tough
They say we're here
Fear of what you're gonna say, when the cops come gunning your way
Fear of what you shouldn't do, when the cops try to provoke you
When cops can kill
They say we're here
It's not right
We live in fear
What a buncha fuckin' shit
Fear that on any given day, the cops should take your life away, away
We've got no rights
We live in fear
