Ain’t no mercy in the street
From the north to the south, from the west, to the east
(Oh no)
And we ain’t lettin’ up no release
If we don’t see justice, you don’t see peace
(Say word)
Ain’t no mercy in the street
From the north to the south, from the west, to the east
(Oh no)
And we ain’t lettin’ up no release
If we don’t see justice, you don’t see peace
I ain’t here to be civil or cordial
All this evil got me feelin’ immoral
I’m gettin’ wild, gettin’ loud, bein’ vocal
Cause real niggas don’t die we immortal
Fist in the air so you know what I stand for
You ain’t wit it you can go and hit the back door
Don’t even try to call me “fam” again
You made it clear you don’t care about my mans and them
But tell me this
If it was me would you care then
If I was killed by a cop would you spare them
If you saw my name on that list, would you call bullshit
Tell me, what would you declare then
Would you march in the streets for me
Would that make you donate to my family
If the answer is yes your support is feeble
You can’t love me and then hate my people
(Let's go)
Ain’t no mercy in the street
From the north to the south, from the west, to the east
(Oh no)
And we ain’t lettin’ up no release
If we don’t see justice, you don’t see peace
(Say word)
Ain’t no mercy in the street
From the north to the south, from the west, to the east
(Oh no)
And we ain’t lettin’ up no release
If we don’t see justice, you don’t see peace
I’ma say they names till my lungs give out
Yellin’ “BLACK LIVES MATTER” in a public crowd
They ain’t give a shit before, but they listenin’ now
Hit the dirt for the work and we finishin’ proud
But do not get it twisted there’s more work to do
Applyin' the pressure till change follows through
My passion and energy all staying true
To all of the fallen we do this for you
George Floyd
Eric Garner
Carrying your legacy we takin’ it farther
Breonna Taylor
Sean Reed
Sandra Bland
David McAtee
Tamar Rice
Clifford Glover
Trayvon Martin
Terrence Crutcher
Philando Castile
Freddie Gray
Claude Reese
Aiyana Jones and Ahmaud Arbery
(Let's go)
Ain’t no mercy in the street
From the north to the south, from the west, to the east
(Oh no)
And we ain’t lettin’ up no release
If we don’t see justice, you don’t see peace
(Say word)
Ain’t no mercy in the street
From the north to the south, from the west, to the east
(Oh no)
And we ain’t lettin’ up no release
If we don’t see justice, you don’t see peace
(Let’s go)
To the various other names
We have not forgotten you
And we will continue to fight for you
I wish you all could see how we’ve all come together in your honor
We love you
And we miss you
Injustice will no longer be tolerated
Racism will no longer be passed aside or accepted
All lives WILL not and CANNOT matter
Until Black Lives Matter
