Untouchable

[00:00.48] Hands up, officer don't shoot

[00:05.26] Then pull your pants up, promise you won't loot

[00:11.07] We may never understand each other, it's no use

[00:16.13] We ain't ever gonna grasp what each other goes through

[00:21.72] Black boy, black boy, we ain't gonna lie to you

[00:24.38] Black boy, black boy, we don't like the sight of you

[00:27.04] Pull up on the side of you

[00:28.62] Window rolled down, 'profile'

[00:30.49] Then we wonder why we see this side of you

[00:33.70] Probably comin' from the dope house

[00:35.81] We could let you slide but your tail light is blew, out

[00:38.93] We know you're hidin' that Heidi Klum

[00:40.47] On you another drug charge, homie, it's back inside for you

[00:43.94] And just in case a chase might ensue, we got that tried and true

[00:47.07] Pistol drew right at you, we'd be delighted to unload it

[00:49.39] In your back, then walk up and lay that taser on the side of you

[00:52.06] Fucked up, but what the fuck am I to do?

[00:54.97] I keep tellin' myself, keep doin' like you're doin'

[00:57.34] No matter how many lives you ruin

[00:59.01] It's for the red, white and blue

[01:00.27] Time to go find a new one and split his head right in two

[01:02.65] No one's ever indicted you

[01:04.22] Why? 'Cause you're a...

[01:05.25] White boy, white boy, you're a rockstar

[01:07.64] (My momma talkin' to me, tryna tell me how to live)

[01:10.29] White boy, white boy, in your cop car

[01:12.95] (But I don't listen to her 'cause my head is like a sieve)

[01:15.65] White boy, white boy, you're untouchable

[01:18.04] (The world's coming to an end, I don't even care)

[01:20.68] Nobody can tell me shit cause I'm a (big rockstar)

[01:25.76] Black boy, black boy, we don't get your culture and

[01:29.20] We don't care what our government's done to fuck you over, man

[01:31.86] Don't tell us your attitude's a result of that

[01:34.52] Balderdash, where'd you get the chip on your shoulder at?

[01:37.44] Why you kicking that soda can?

[01:39.30] Pull your pants up, we 'bout to roll up and

[01:41.12] Throw your ass in the van cuffed

[01:43.01] You don't have to know our plans or what our intentions are

[01:45.63] Our cards are close to our chest, you better show your hands

[01:48.56] And put our minds more at ease

[01:51.26] Or get shot in the thyroid, comply or die, boy

[01:53.64] We're fightin' a crime war, here come the swine

[01:56.32] Tryna clean up the streets from all these minorities

[02:00.30] That's what we call 'em pigsties for

[02:01.95] They're like eyesores to police

[02:03.81] Talk to you like just a piece of trash

[02:07.01] Feels like we're stuck in a time warp to me

[02:09.70] As I kick these facts and get these mixed reactions

[02:12.62] As this beat backspins, it's like we're drifting back in

[02:15.29] To the sixties, having black skin is risky

[02:17.67] 'Cause this keeps happening

[02:18.74] Throughout history, African-Americans have been treated like shit

[02:22.98] And I admit, there have been times where it's been embarrassin' to be a...

[02:26.13] White boy, white boy, you're a rockstar

[02:28.53] (My momma talkin' to me, tryna tell me how to live)

[02:31.17] White boy, white boy, in your cop car

[02:33.82] (But I don't listen to her 'cause my head is like a sieve)

[02:36.53] White boy, white boy, you're untouchable

[02:39.17] (The world's coming to an end, I don't even care)

[02:41.56] Nobody can tell me shit cause I'm a (big rockstar)

[02:46.34] Seems like the average lifespan of a white man

[02:49.81] Is more than twice than a black life span

[02:51.98] I wonder sometimes if it has a price scanner

[02:54.39] I feel like checking out on life, can't escape this circumstance

[02:58.11] I'd rather hear 'em say "Die N-word" than Die Antwoord

[03:01.57] Ninja, now it's better disguised banter

[03:04.24] But that's life, strapped 'cause we're strapped financially

[03:07.17] And can't find answers

[03:08.50] We're applying, but McDonald's

[03:10.10] Seems to be the only franchise that'll hire

[03:13.20] So how can we have higher standards?

[03:14.77] As Dallas overshadows the battle for Black Lives Matter

[03:18.22] We fight back with violence but acts like that are

[03:20.87] Black eyes on the movement

[03:22.74] Which makes black lives madder

[03:24.87] At cops and cops madder

[03:26.23] That's why it's at a stalemate

[03:28.08] Can't arrive at a compromise so it's Black Ops

[03:30.76] I wonder if we hire more black cops, the crap stops

[03:35.04] The block is our backyards, officers, not the crack spot

[03:38.51] Call the attack dogs off of us, man

[03:40.29] You always act all pissed off at us at a traffic stop

[03:43.20] And bad cops fuck it up for the good cops, and man, stop

[03:47.72] Sendin' white cops in the black neighborhoods

[03:50.63] Who ain't acclimated to 'em, like that's the way to do it

[03:53.30] Who seen some fuckin' videos of rappers waving guns

[03:56.24] And know nobody black so they act afraid of us

[03:58.88] And that's racism, the fear that a black face gives 'em

[04:02.36] A subconscious racist

[04:04.23] Wait, why are there black neighborhoods?

[04:05.83] 'Cause America segregated us, designated us to an area

[04:09.81] Separated us, Section-Eight'd us

[04:12.25] When we tear it up's the only time attention's paid to us

[04:14.93] And education sucks, and every day's another

[04:17.85] Freddie Gray for us, a levy breaks or fuzz

[04:20.79] Why is it they treat us like dryer lint?

[04:24.26] We just want a safe environment for our kids

[04:27.46] But can't escape the sirens

[04:28.82] Don't take a scientist to see our violent nature lies in

[04:31.51] The poverty that we face so the crime rate's the highest in

[04:34.40] The lowest classes, it's like a razor wire fence

[04:37.33] And we're trapped in these racial biases

[04:39.19] That plague our society which makes our anxiety levels raise

[04:42.67] Every time we see a devil's face

[04:44.24] Lions, tigers, and bears, oh my

[04:46.92] It's more like billy clubs and gats

[04:48.45] And we really love it when you think we're guilty 'cause we're black

[04:51.38] "But you kill each other, facts

[04:52.71] You peel each other's caps, for silly stuff like hats"

[04:55.64] Single mother strugglin' through substance abuse

[04:58.56] While people with nothin' to lose shoot each other for shoes

[05:01.49] Fuck your Republican views

[05:03.61] Pull ourselves up by our bootstraps, where the fuck are the boots?

[05:06.27] And streets act as a narrator, don't gotta read comics

[05:09.92] Or be that into characters, just to see that, just to be black

[05:13.65] You better be strapped with a derringer

[05:15.51] Or be "capped in America" like Steve Rogers

[05:18.19] 'Cause no one oversees these cops and

[05:21.15] All we see is 'em beat charges

[05:23.02] We done seen 'em beat Rodney King unconscious, and got off

[05:26.21] So we don't need all you crooked police officers' peace offerings

[05:29.97] Just keep marchin', 'til we reach congress

[05:35.30] But they're gonna say you're tryin' to take an irrational stance

[05:38.49] If you try to slander the flag but

[05:39.86] Somebody has to be the sacrificial lamb

[05:42.24] So they call it a Kaepernick tantrum

[05:44.09] If you don't stand for the national anthem

[05:46.50] We raise it, you better praise it

[05:48.10] Or you'll be made to feel like a traitor, we'll

[05:49.91] Treat you like Rodney Dangerfield

[05:51.51] Home of the brave is still racist 'ville

[05:53.66] So this whole nation feels like a plantation field

[05:56.32] In a country that claims that its foundation was based on United States ideals

[06:00.83] That had its Natives killed

[06:02.15] Got you singin' this star-spangled spiel

[06:04.28] To a piece of cloth that represents the "Land of the Free" that made people slaves to build
