America’s Fire

Kolo

People are tired, exhausted like an extinguisher 
The fire’s rising, it’s hard to keep down the temperature 
Can’t keep my cool when cops is out here ruthless 
Before they pull us over they already plan to shoot us 
Before we’re even born the system set up just put us down 
They only love us when we balling or we rapping
And even then the love is fake your lacking in your action 
If you see all that’s been happening, and don’t speak out on this madness
Where’s your empathy, try to see it through our lens 
Why you value more the life of animals than you do men 
Why you don’t see me as equal but still claim me as a friend 
Why you act like centuries of oppression saw its end 
Your silence deserves conviction, your ignorance is malignant 
Any semblance of justice, you fill is just a figment 
Of your imagination cops pull up like the blazers 
Weapons drawn no hesitation inciting these situations
He wasn’t even armed resistance was never proven 
His record’s non-relevant, your mind is too obtuse 
To think that you the judge and jury, out here playing God 
You hunting us for sport, Rest In Peace to Ahmad 
So we running out of patience, burning down your stations 
Looting all your property, so can make a statement 
This the last resort since our voices being quieted 
You’re to blame for America’s fire 
America’s fire 

Burning and looting, gas in the night sky
The blue walls form a trap that’s on all sides 
White signs fill the black streets with hope 
And my people never fall we gon’ rise like the smoke yeah 

Let it burn down, let it all burn down (yeah, yeah)
Let it burn down, let it all burn down (yeah, yeah)
Let it burn down, let it all burn down (yeah, yeah)
All burn down (yeah, yeah)

It’s just the worlds exfoliation
Removing all the evil on the surface we been facing
How are you surprised that a war is what we’re waging  
When the congress broke its promises to those who built the nation 
The war against injustice, the wrath of the incumbent 
The lack of understanding of the hole you put us under 
The lack of empathy when you see cries from a mother 
The lack of action when you see the badge kill our brothers 
Your ways are woven deeply in the fabric of America 
Stitched by the founders, sewed the privilege you inherited 
Didn’t pick that cotton that they used to make the cloth 
And knew they lied when they wrote liberty for all 
The garment needs a wash better yet incineration 
And that’s what’s burning in the buildings that’s been blazing 
The legacy of hate, the memories of pain 
The Tulsa massacre, genocides on our race 
The things we can’t erase, depicted as mistakes 
Strategic laws, set up just to keep us second place 
The laws we’ll eviscerate we no longer implore 
Justice will be served, Rest In Peace George Floyd 
Yeah we running out of patience, burning down your stations 
Looting all your property, so can make a statement 
This the last resort since our voices being quieted 
You’re to blame for America’s fire 
America’s fire

Burning and looting, gas in the night sky
The blue walls form a trap that’s on all sides 
White signs fill the black streets with hope 
And my people never fall we gon’ rise like the smoke yeah 

Let it burn down, let it all burn down (yeah, yeah)
Let it burn down, let it all burn down (yeah, yeah)
Let it burn down, let it all burn down (yeah, yeah)
All burn down (yeah, yeah)
