Let me talk to em

Let me talk to em , 

Let me give y’all that real , 

I’m tell you what it is & what it’s not , 

Let me talk to em ?

Let me give y’all some knowledge , 

Knowledge is power , 

Brains is power , 

Your words is powerful , 

Used your words not yours guns , 

Your hands not your guns , 

Don’t point your gun at us , 

Don’t shoot at us ,

Don’t call us out our names , 

Let me talk to em , 

I don’t think they hear me , 

Put down the guns , 

Pick up a book , 

Used your words , 

Used your voice , 

Used your feet , 

Used all your might , 

But put down the guns it’s a better way , 

Things can change , 

Better days can come apon us , 

Tomorrow can be better than yesterday, 

Tomorrow the sun will raise you can do something different tomorrow, 

You can’t pray , 

You can give thanks , 

Let me talk to em , 

Let me tell y’all y we fail , 

Because we greedy, 

As blacks we have to be on top , 

As blacks we have to flex , 

As blacks we take our own but get mad when the white man kill us , 

We want everybody to stop but us , 

We match against everybody but us ,

We come together with everybody but our own , 

Let me talk to em , 

Things are going get ruff until we make a change , 

People may say this not their place so who place is it , 

Who gonna take the stand , 

I don’t think y’all hear me , 

I don’t think y’all believe me , 

I don’t think y’all understand,

We as blacks are holding our self back , 

We are why we failing , 

We are the reason why our young children in gangs because we brought them up around this ,

Nobody broke the code , 

Everybody just did the same thing again and again ,

It’s not new it’s worth , 

It’s scary,

It’s fearful ,

It make you not wanna be around nobody or nothing , 

Life nowadays is weird,

My people the time is now ,

Let me talk to em , 

Let me tell them that real knowledge that real talk , 

Let me give them something to learn from , 

Let me give them something to think about ,

Let me talk to em ,
