Elephant in the Room ft. Lefty Rose Lyrics

What are you trying to accomplish? What would you like this to be the endgame for you

A little space please

I mean, ultimately it's to bring awareness and make people realize what's really going on in this country

There are a lot of things that are going on that are unjust, people aren't being held accountable for

And that's something that needs to change

That's something that, you know, this country stands for freedom, liberty, justice for all

And it's not happening for all right now

There's a lot of things that need to change

One specifically is police brutality

There's people being murdered unjustly and not being held accountable

Cops are getting paid leave for killing people

That's not right. That's not right by anyone's standards

I'm going to continue to stand with the people that are being oppressed

To me, this is something that has to change

And when there's significant change, and I feel like that flag represents what it's supposed to represent

And this country is representing people the way that it's supposed to, I'll stand

Fuck the NFL, they can go to hell, for the way they treatin' Kap

First they propped him up, just to pimp him out, now they stab him in the back

Tell me why it's like that, mad cuz he speakin' facts

Took a knee and y'all still can't see, cops is out here killing blacks

Hell nah, that ain't justified, damn right these pigs lie

And y'all eat it up like dumb fucks, same scenario happens every time

Cop pull out, shots go off, Black folk get killed while the cop gets off

Video showing y'all all the proof, blame the victim like that's the truth

See, that's that shit I don't like

Fake news, far beyond just black and white

Look at what they trying to do, Civil war, yeah they want part two

Like a remix, funny how everybody can't see this

Or maybe they don't want to, hard to care when it really don't affect you

But I bet you might lose your shit, if your son or daughter had to take the hit

So, quit telling us to let it go when you really don't know what we've been through

A closed mind will never take the time to see the other side of the issue

You have people that practice law and are lawyers and go to school for eight years

But you can become a cop in six months and don't have to have the same amount of training as a cosmetologist

That's insane

Ain't about the military, ain't about your damn flag

This is social injustice, how the hell you can't see that

It's empathy you lack, wanna dance around the fact

That a world made for whites is twice as hard for blacks

Ain't about the military, ain't about your damn flag

This is social injustice, how the hell you can't see that

It's empathy you lack, wanna dance around the fact

That a world made for whites is twice as hard for blacks

Built a country on our backs, built a country on our backs

And every person of color, go ahead, check the stats

Built a country on our backs, built a country on our backs

And every person of color, go ahead, check the stats

From the slave trade to the railroad, get out the way or get steamrolled

America, the next episode, don't give a shit, just freeload

Got land, I'ma take that, y'all was here first, we laugh at that

It's mine now, no take backs, Is there a problem here, just show the strap

Strong arm, steal shit, then collect the profit

Call it manifest destiny, no way to stop my progress

It's obvious, we don't give a fuck about none of y'all

As a matter of fact, be grateful, you're even allowed to live here at all

Got jobs, got family, got a house, got a wife

But just know, better stay in line or I will sacrifice your life

Damn right, game tight, exterminate y'all out of spite

That's what white privilege sounds like

Ain't about the military, ain't about your damn flag

This is social injustice how the hell you can't see that

It's empathy you lack, wanna dance around the fact

That the world made for whites, is twice as hard for blacks

Ain't about the military, ain't about your damn flag

This is social injustice, how the hell you can't see that

It's empathy you lack, wanna dance around the fact

That the world made for whites, is twice as hard for blacks

Built a country on our backs, built a country on our backs

And every person of color, go ahead, check the stats

Built a country on our backs, built a country on our backs

And every person of color, go ahead, check the stats

I mean, someone that's holding a curling iron has more education and more training

Than people that have a gun and are going out on the street to protect us

Do you think you might get cut over this

I don't know. But if I do, I know I did what's right

And I can live with that at the end of the day
