  And well take that ride
  Across the bloody river
  To the other side
  41 shots
  Cut through the night
  Youre kneeling over his body in the vestibule
  Praying for his life
  Is it a gun? Is it a knife?
  Is it a wallet? This is your life
  It aint no secret
  It aint no secret
  No secret, my friend, you can get killed just for living in
  Your American skin
  Yeah
  Oh yeah
  Yeah
  Oh-oh
  If I die right before I wake
  Cross my heart, then I seal my fate
  Life in the dark of the heartless
  Looking at the remedy for all this
  Everyday they look at you a target
  Falling victim, them and
  Him and her then this one, insensitivity
  Talk bad religion, skin identity
  Lack rash decision made by yours
  Pack facility with the urban boy
  Gun admitted he bear arm
  The entity, arm and leg and head made to destroy
  80% of the victim was yours
  Maybe I get to relive years of war
  Look on the corner, we been here before
  Look at the momma, you seen tears before?
  Pain bright and early
  Rain, sleet, hail, snow, worry
  More storm barricade the city
  Prosecution, unhung jury
  These days murder keep em busy
  Sweet blood flowed on the gurney
  Yellow tape tied around the street
  Colin Kaepernick was more than worthy
  I could reverse the day, reverse the time
  Reverse the block, reverse the gun, reverse the shot
  Reverse the law, reverse the flaw
  That made us all the versions of a danger flock
  Reverse the love, reverse the hate
  Reverse the hope, reverse the way we playing sin
  Reverse the moment, so we can live again
  Life and times of the American skin

  Lena gets her son ready for school
  She says, Now, on these streets, Charles
  You got to understand the rules 
  If an officer stops you 
  Always be polite 
  And never ever run away
  Promise momma youll keep your hands in sight
  Is it a gun? Is it a knife? 
  Is it a wallet? This is your life
  It aint no secret 
  Sure aint no secret 
  No secret, my friend, you can get killed just for living in
  You can get killed just for living in
  You can get killed just for living in
  Your American skin
