lyrics

[Verse 1: PHZ-Sicks]
I, I, I always wanted to drop a song and
Watch Twitter talk about me to no end
And Who knew? That I was only one bullet away from actually fucking trending
I need to stop pretending this don't affect me
The whole community suffers from PTSD
Whenever we see red & blue LEDs
In our rear view mirrors thinking God please
Thinking "Oh God, please"
Hope this officer sees that I'm a human being and far from the problem
But he came with his prejudice, now that cross I'm force to bear is now burning on my lawn, man
I don't wanna go out
Pulling my ID out
With the taste of copper running from my mouth
From hearing shots ring out
As my lights flicker out
To the sound of my mom as she screaming out
She be shrieking out

[Chorus: PHZ-Sicks]
Why you take my son? (Son)
That girl looks like me (Me)
That father ain't coming home (Home)
Strange fruit on the concrete (-Crete)
If i forget my turn signal
And the cops end up killing me
I hope my people go Mookie for Radio Raheem for me
And riot in my memory
Riot in my memory (Fuck it up, fuck it up)
R-Riot in my memory (Fuck it up, fuck it up)
R-Riot in my memory
R-Riot in my memory (Fuck it up, fuck it up)
R-Riot in my memory (Fuck it up, fuck it up)
R-Riot in my memory
Riot in my memory (Fuck it up, fuck it up)
Riot in my memory (Fuck it up, fuck it up)
R-Riot in my memory
I said if the cops end up killing me
I hope everybody riot in my memory
Riot in my

[Verse 2: PHZ-Sicks]
Fox News probably say I'm no angel, point to lyrics from one of my song
But you're closer to the devil than an angel your damn self, so how can you judge what's wrong?
Judging without knowing what's going on
Screaming what about black on black crime
When we been marching and shouting against that
But those news cameras never come
No damn coverage, torture porn from our suffering, good cops always say nothing
An 8mm shoot a 9mm into a black body has become the nation's snuff film
They Put us on a boat, try to break out spirit, using a tube to force feed us
These pundits a joke, try to break our hope, using a tube to do the same through the media
Film a black mom screaming

[Chorus: PHZ-Sicks]
Why you take my son? (Son)
That girl looks like me (Me)
That father ain't coming home (Home)
Strange fruit on the concrete (-Crete)
If i forget my turn signal
And the cops end up killing me
I hope my people go Mookie for Radio Raheem for me
And riot in my memory
Riot in my memory (Fuck it up, fuck it up)
R-Riot in my memory (Fuck it up, fuck it up)
R-Riot in my memory
R-Riot in my memory (Fuck it up, fuck it up)
R-Riot in my memory (Fuck it up, fuck it up)
R-Riot in my memory
Riot in my memory (Fuck it up, fuck it up)
Riot in my memory (Fuck it up, fuck it up)
R-Riot in my memory
I said if the cops end up killing me
I hope everybody riot in my memory
Riot in my

[Verse 3: PHZ-Sicks]
At 8, I was the cutest kid and would be held by white strangers
2 years later, their purses they would clutch
Crossed the street if I popped up, asked me where I come from
Like they see me coming out the door before they rolled up
Do you know what that did to my innocent?
Take a young kid and place on him criminal intent
Make me wanna walk up to you, fake a punch to see you flinch
Look you in your eyes and say "You ol' racist bitch"
Nothing change but me getting a little taller and a little more awkward
All you see is a potential monster
Not a child but a man, enemy not a friend
And you can go ahead and pretend
That none of this is true, that you treat people like you
You would pass on episode of What Would You Do?
But you just a bystander, holding a camera
Filming my demise, so my mom can have that image for life
So how you gonna

[Chorus 2: PHZ-Sicks]
Riot in my memory (Fuck it up, fuck it up)
R-Riot in my memory (Fuck it up, fuck it up)
R-Riot in my memory
R-Riot in my memory (Fuck it up, fuck it up)
R-Riot in my memory (Fuck it up, fuck it up)
R-Riot in my memory
Riot in my memory (Fuck it up, fuck it up)
Riot in my memory (Fuck it up, fuck it up)
R-Riot in my memory
I said if the cops end up killing me
I hope everybody riot in my memory
Riot in my
