Trust me, they gon’ need an army (Ah)/ Rubber bullets bouncin’ off me (Ah)

Pandemic fly on the runway, in my hazmat/ Judgin’, runnin’ through the house to my art, all black
(…)
Black love, we gon’ stay together/ Curtis Mayfield on the speaker (Woo)/ Lil’ Malcolm, Martin mixed with momma Tina (Woo)/ Need another march, lemme call Tamika (Woo)/ Need peace and reparation for my people (Woo)”
