We lost faith
We lost faith
Christ died for our sins, King died for our rights
That’s right
We lost faith
Going in in 2017
I’m tryna tell you why black lives need to matter more
You can’t relate, we lost faith
You love your Starbucks, you love your Apple Store
You love the park, you walk your labrador
I walk with my dogs, we look like Michael Rapaport
Your 14 year old son in your van bumping Macklemore
It’s 'bout to be a new year, I’m tired of back and forth
Five undercover cops stopped to call me, a cam in it
I want to sue the city of New York for damages
I’m tryna tell you how it all got started 'cause of Reagan
You walk out and the cops tryna shoot you like Cary Fagan
Call 9−1-1 to get popped, that shit sound so scary, ain’t it?
Could you see blood coming from a rose if it’s red?
If you could you could tell I’m already dead, yeah
They see a nigga with money, they make him Michael Jackson
If we work together we can really reclaim the planet
They keep on preaching progression, I see we moving backwards
Feeding us lies, weep and cry
That’s why we scream to the sky
We lost faith
We lost faith
Christ died for our sins, King died for our rights
That’s right
We lost faith
Christ died for our sins, King died for our rights
That’s right
We lost faith
