DmCBbAm
Our Lord, grant us good in this world, and good in the life,
DmCBbAm
To come keep us safe from the torment of the fire, as we keep our hands up high
DmCBbAm
And scream for justice Ferguson, rest in peace Mike Brown
DmCBbAm
And all the young soldiers out there, God help us
[Chorus]
DmCBbAm
Time to take a stand and save our future, like we all got shot, we all got shot
DmCBbAm
Throwin' up our hands don't let them shoot us 'cause we all we got, we all we got
DmAmC
God ain't put us on the Earth to get murdered, it's murder
DmAmC
God ain't put us on the Earth to get murdered, it's murder, don't point your weapons at me
[Verse 1] (The Game)
DmDm
Seen the pictures, feel the pain, scandalous how they murder son,
AmC
Tired of them killing us, I'm on my way to Ferguson
DmDm
Talked to TIP, I talked to Diddy, them my brothers walking with me
AmC
Mothers crying "Stop the riots", we ain't got to chalk the city
DmDm
I seen Cole out there, felt I should go out there
AmC
They left that boy for hours in the cold out there
DmDm
They killin' teens, they killin' dreams
AmC
(It's murder) Yo, come on
[Verse 2] (Diddy)
DmDm
we gotta stick together, we all we got
AmC
When police taking shots and I ain't talkin' 'bout Ciroc
DmDm
I'm talkin' 'bout Emmett Till, I'm talking bout Ezell Ford
AmC
I'm talkin' 'bout Sean Bell, they never go to jail for
DmDm
Trayvon over Skittles, Mike Brown Cigarillos
AmC
History keeps repeating itself, like a Biggie instrumental
DmDm
America's a glass house and my revenge is mental
AmC
Rather use my brain than throw a cocktail through a window
[Verse 3] (Rick Ross)
DmC
I got the keys to the city still we left in the cold
BbAm
Hands in the sky, still was left in the road
DmC
Ribbon in the sky, Michael Brown, another soul
BbAm
Stole by the system, black men we pay the toll
DmC
The price is your life, Uncle Sam want a slice
BbAm
Black dress code now we lootin' in the night
DmC
Now we throwin' Molotovs in this holocaust
Bb Am N.C.
And I know they hate to hear me screamin', "I'm a Boss!"
[Chorus]
DmCBbAm
Time to take a stand and save our future, like we all got shot, we all got shot
DmCBbAm
Throwin' up our hands don't let them shoot us 'cause we all we got, we all we got
DmAmC
God ain't put us on the Earth to get murdered, it's murder
DmAmC
God ain't put us on the Earth to get murdered, it's murder, don't point your weapons at me
[Verse 3] (2 Chainz)
DmDm
Tired of the okie-dokie, lyin' you Pinocchio
AmC
Driving while black, tell me, where am I supposed to go?
DmDm
Gun shots hit the car, now I got the holy ghost
AmC
If excessive force was a drug, then they overdosed
DmDm
Got us tryin'a protest, it's a slow process
AmC
Heard it's a lot of rotten eggs in the crow's nest
DmDm
People prayin' on they feet, police holdin' on they heat
AmC
Turned on the news and seen a tank rollin' down the street (Yeah)
[Verse 4] (Fabolous)
DmC
I seen a lot of ice water tossed, and I know it's for a cause
BbAm
My only question is, what we doin' for the loss
DmCBb
Of Mike Brown, 'cause right now, I challenge you to use your talents to
Am
Speak up, and don't you ever let them silence you
DmC
'Cause action speaks louder than words, that's what I heard
BbAm
Shot down with his hands up, that's what occurred
DmCBbC
Man that sound absurd, matter fact to me that sound like murder we want justice
[Verse 5] (Yo Gotti)
DmCBbAm
Ay yo Game, I had a crib out there, I used to live out there So I know how niggas feel out there
DmCBbAm
People stressing, protesting, unity is a blessing, so it's time we come together, use our voice as a weapon
DmC
I am Michael Brown, 'cause I stand for what he stand for
BbAm
News say we're looting, paint pictures like we some animals
DmCBbC
On my NWA CMG hollin' "Rest in peace Eazy and fuck the police"
[Verse 6] (Wale)
DmCBbAm
Heard another brother slain up in St. Louis, sure the mother feel the pain, but what you famous doin'?
Dm
I'm sure the general population trying to be more active
CBbAm
But when the light finally catches you, you ice challenge
DmC
Okay, and I support the ALS just like the rest of them
BbAm
But you have yet to pay your debt, so you just flexin' then
Dm N.C.
'Cause everybody care for a minute, then stop
Bb Am N.C.
People only there for a minute, then stop
DmC
And what's the point of giving if you ain't giving your all?
Bb N.C.
We never getting ahead, might as well give up your heart
[Bridge] (TGT & Swizz Beatz)
DmCBbAm
Where does it end? I got my hands up, what else am supposed to do?

Uh, I heard he surrendered, but we all saw how they did him
DmCBbAm
Television broadcasts, a confused country, I'm a resident of a nation that don't want me
DmCBbAm
What's done is done, the town erupts in fury, and I'm already hearing 'bout this lopsided jury
DmCBbC
Three faces like his, the rest another story, a lot of motherfuckers need to act more worried
[Verse 9] (Problem)
DmCBb
The revolution has been televised, if I sit here and do don't do nothin', homie, that's genocide
