Still a target, but the badge is the new noose Yeah, we all see it, but cellphones ain’t enough proof So we still lose [Hook: Jill Scott] I say hey, sunshine Oh how the day can be so long I say hey, sunshine Oh how the day can be so long [Verse 2: Pusha T] I don’t got no march in me, I can’t turn the other cheek While they testing your patience, they just testing my reach Funeral flowers, every 28 hours Being laid over ours Sworn to protect and serve, but who really got the power? Looking over their allowances Building prisons where the mountains is Laptops is for the county kids Metal detectors is where ours is They’ll never re-write this, like they re-wrote history The fact that the Statue of Liberty was black is a g.d. mystery And so it goes, every truth don’t get told All these cops get cleared, and lives are stole Every goose don’t lay gold whoa Just another n----- dead, just another n----- dead Send another to the FEDs, send another to the FEDs They call in the National Guard Public Enemy, I am Chuck D Flavor Flav in Louis V, but I’m Huey P Woo! The new elite, it’s either you or me Let the sunshine, cause their dark clouds try to ruin me [Bridge: Jill Scott] It’s more and more and more than Baltimore From shore to shore, oh lord Patience torn, patience gone, oh lord [Hook: Jill Scott] I say hey, sunshine Oh how the day can be so long I say hey, sunshine Oh how the day can be so long
