lyrics
Yeah, yeah
My brother just put your hands up
Yo, yo
Flashing lights all in your face, just put your hands up
If you comply, they'll let you slide, just put your hands up
Fit the description and you twitching, put your hands up
How they got badge and they got gun, but they can't stand us
My brother just put your hands up
Put'em up, put'em up, yeah
Put'em up, put'em up
My sister just put your hands up
Put'em up, put'em up, yeah
Put'em up
Yo
Asking for license registration, they just profiling
Protect and serve the customers, but there ain't no smiling
Maybe masking trauma daily got you so violent
Ain't too many whistle blowers, it's a code of silence
How we so divided
Thought we all breathed in the same air
Choke holds, now you know
They ain't playing fair
Looking like what was described over a radio
Wrong is probably how this goes
It's science, check the ratios
Hoping Horatio arrives for some advocacy
Too many Hamlets been consumed by what tragedy brings
Been trying to heal from all this hurt that my people endure
Hearing them shout reach out the window and open the door
Heart racing wondering what I did
Treatment different cause I live
In this neighborhood and skin
It's wrong but that's just how it is
Argumentative
That's when the homie said you need to hush
If they ask you to comply my guy, just put your hands up
Yeah, yeah
Damn
And if they ask you to comply my guy, just put your hands up
Yeah
And if they ask you to comply
Goodbye
Yeah
Yeah
Woooo
Flashing lights all in your face, just put your hands up
If you comply, they'll let you slide, just put your hands up
Fit the description and you twitching, put your hands up
How they got badge and they got gun, but they can't stand us
My brother just put your hands up
Put'em up, put'em up, yeah
Put'em up, put'em up
My sister just put your hands up
Put'em up, put'em up, yeah
Put'em up
My people just put your hands up
Put'em up, put'em up, put'em up, put'em up
Put your hands up
Put'em up, put'em up, put'em up, put'em up, yeah
Put your hands up
Put'em up, put'em up, put'em up, put'em up
Put'em up, put'em up, put'em up

R.I.P. TYRE NICHOLS
A new study, undertaken by Ravi Shroff, an assistant professor holding joint appointments at NYU Steinhardt and NYU CUSP, and his colleagues at the Stanford Open Policing Project, found that in a dataset of nearly 100 million traffic stops across the United States, black drivers were about 20 percent more likely to be stopped than white drivers relative to their share of the residential population.
The study also found that once stopped, black drivers were searched about 1.5 to 2 times as often as white drivers, while they were less likely to be carrying drugs, guns, or other illegal contraband compared to their white peers.
