But girl I need you more right now
I been sitting at the table
And when the world turned upside down
All my memories were fatal
Tell me I don’t have to lie, I don’t have to lie
I don’t have to lie no more
No
I don’t have to die, I don’t have to die
I don’t have to die no more
Tell me I don’t have to lie, I don’t have to lie
I don’t have to lie no more
No
I don’t have to die, I don’t have to die
I don’t have to die no more
And when I see my people cry
I been mentally unstable
And I been scared to go outside
I can’t even if I’m able
Tell me I don’t have to lie, I don’t have to lie
I don’t have to lie no more
No
I don’t have to die, I don’t have to die
I don’t have to die no more
With you by my side I feel unstoppable
Only with you I get vulnerable, mmm
You say that’s honorable
Society say that’s not tolerable
Only with you by my side I get chances to cry
I always hear people say that I look angry but none of them bother to come ask me why
Cuz we in a wartime, and people been dying the whole time
They out here debating whose life matters more, I guess being black is a whole crime
It’s all the fear, lust, greed
Stand by me
F**k police
I'ma march down fist up through the streets
Life’s so hard if you look like me, jeez
Ain’t that facts, I find that
Real hard to believe, the other side gonna try to tell us relax
As long as I know you got me, we gon’ make it through this too shall pass
I'ma go protest for the peace, start the bail fund if I don’t call you back
But girl I need you more right now
I been sitting at the table
And when the world turned upside down
All my memories were fatal
Tell me I don’t have to lie, I don’t have to lie
I don’t have to lie no more
No
I don’t have to die, I don’t have to die
I don’t have to die no more
Tell me I don’t have to lie, I don’t have to lie
I don’t have to lie no more
No
I don’t have to die, I don’t have to die
I don’t have to die no more
