The Get Down

from The Curve by Tish

/

about

One never ending sentence of oppression, black history, where we lack as young people in this society, and the footsteps we follow towards a future they expect us have. First verse serves as "the never ending sentence", second verse changes to the point of view of the oppressor.

lyrics

(Verse 1)
Don't you hear them marching in?
Don't hear the sirens going off?
Gun shots sings lullabys to us when the sun sleeps
Momma thank God every night she get to see her son sleep
Cuz son gotta sit in a classroom everyday
Took God out of school, now you see them on the news
Ain't no telling when a nigga'll come make everybody..
"Lay down, Bitch" yelled the nigga to the girl walking home
Eight hours she's been missing, police said wait forty more
Now 40s getting poured for shorty found her body in the streets
Better pray young man better pray for the peace
Cuz the only piece we carry these days starting war
What a day for a dream Dr. Martin wouldn't you say?
Skittles and a Arizona took your son's life away
Just another nigga face on the news, Black Blues
We're starting to look the same
Our President looks just like us

(Hook)
You tell me which one's to blame
You tell me which way to point
Iny Mini Miny Moe
Bulletts flying through the air
Playing tag for your soul
You better get down
Get Down
Duck

(Verse 2)
Muthafucka you should get down
Get your black ass down
You're another thug,
I see it on your face right now
Head down
Put your arms behind your back
Firearms all in his face
Tie a noose around his neck
Let me see you get down from that black boy
Imma put you in your place black boy
Your name leaves me a bad taste black boy
Imma spit it in your face black boy
Let you free and watch you kill your own race,
Get Down.
