OH NO! Lyrics

You see me and my people in a fancy car

So you think we ball players or a rapper or a movie star

We be working hard grinding for our paper all kind of ways

They say we stole it cos our melanin popping all kinda ways

18 shots for my people there sitting in that fancy car

18 shots if you sitting just playing on your guitar

18 shots when you going out chilling on your holiday

18 shots when I’m in my hallway

18 shots when I’m with my family

I be out here seeing black dying all day

Feds trigger happy when they see it’s not they

Living with no voice men I ain’t feeling okay

They only get suspended leave for weeks with no pay

Living black is constantly watching your back

Living black is when you can’t even relax

Living black is discrimination all day

Living black is systems all against you all day

18 shots for my people there sitting in that fancy car

18 shots if you sitting just playing on your guitar

18 shots when you going out chilling on your holiday

18 shots when I’m in my hallway

18 shots when I’m with my family

Oh no!

See me and my people we been living here covering all kinda scars (Oh no)

The neighbours called the feds on me when I’m walking inside my yard (Oh no)

A woman living upstairs me said your people can’t sit with hers (Oh no)

An old white man told me I should leave cos this land not ours (Oh no)

This is for my people working, grinding, sitting, driving in that fancy car

This is for my people on their music thing playing on there guitar

18 shots when you going out chilling on your holiday

18 shots when I’m in my hallway

18 shots when I’m with my family

Oh no, Oh no,

They be killing all our family ya

Oh no, Oh no

Even when our kids are out to play

Oh no, Oh no,

18 shots when I’m in my hallway

18 shots when I’m with my family

And there’s really nothing left to say

Oh no!

Oooooooooooooooh oh no

Oooooooooooooooh oh no

Oooooooooooooooh oh no

Oooooooooooooooh oh no

I be singing this for my brothers there sitting in that fancy car (Oh no)

I be singing this for my sisters there playing on their guitar (Oh no)

18 shots when you going out chilling on your holiday (Oh no)

18 shots when I’m chilling there sitting in my hallway (Oh no)

Oh no, Oh no,

They be killing all our family ya

Oh no, Oh no

Even when our kids are out to play

Oh no, Oh no,

18 shots when I’m in my hallway

18 shots when I’m with my family

And there’s really nothing left to say
