Lyrics

You may not know this song, but after today, you won't forget it
And all I'm saying is after everything they've done to us man, still we rise

I be on my Kendrick
It’s like black people suffer from amnesia (Amnesia)
Have y’all forgotten
Are your brains that rotten? (We did)
Ronald Regan sold crack to my people (My people)
Those crack babies had babies, now wild ass children (Wildin')
Got Mayweather supportin’ the villain
Meanwhile, y’all act like I cry victim
I wouldn’t be on no plane giving millions to strangers (Nah)
Leaving my people behind in danger (We in danger)
IJS, it's the government, fuck you if you protest
(All my life)
All my life in oppression
Wondering, when, where, how and even if I’m gon’ make it (Gon’ make it)
See how they strip my people of they dignity, and we walk around faking it (Stop faking)
Yeah, got PTSD, when them lights go flashin’ behind me
When them cops come, don’t remind me
The way they did Philando Castile,
The whole world watched, that shit was grimy (I saw it)
Yeah IJS, it's the government, fuck you if you protest
Acting like you too blessed to be stressed
(I’m just saying)

Go right to the stress
Yeah (Stress, ohhh) I’m just saying
It’s the government (Stress, ohhh) I’m just saying
It’s the government (Stress, ohhh) I’m just saying

It ain’t right man
The government
It’s way too much stress
It’s the government (Stress, ohhh) I’m just saying
It’s the government (Stress, ohhh) I’m just saying
It’s the government (Stress, ohhh) I’m just saying

It ain’t right man
It’s way too much stress
It's the government
(Get your hands up) It’s the government (Stress, ohhh) I’m just saying
(Everybody say) It’s the government (Stress, ohhh) I’m just saying
(Say it louder) It’s the government (Stress, ohhh) I’m just saying
(That’s what I’m talkin’ bout) It’s the government

It ain’t right man
It’s way too much stress
(I can’t hear you) It’s the government (Stress, ohhh) I’m just saying
(I can’t hear you) It’s the government (Stress, ohhh) I’m just saying
(Say it louder) It’s the government (Stress, ohhh) I’m just saying
(That’s what I’m talkin’ bout) It’s the government

Man, I watch niggas go hard on niggas
but in the face of the enemy, they’re cheerleaders
You may ask, who’s the enemy
I may say, are you kidding me?
Be for real nigga
Who put yokes of iron on our necks? (Who did it)
Oh, that’s right, no CRT so you can forget
And let history say we did it to ourselves
How long white people gon’ lie to our face
Got y’all running around here talkin’ bout, it ain’t about race
When I found out they put a white face on Jesus
That was all I need to tell these weak ass niggas
Get out of my face
Get out of my face
I’m just saying man, it’s the government
All this time and they knew it (They knew it)
Pushing all these guns up in the hood (They did it)
Got millionaires and ball players, and all these actors, man y’all no good
Got all these rappers, man, don’t get me started
You can go word to word, see I’m just being honest
Did they sell out? (Yeah)
Put the money over there conscience
Man, y’all just monsters, who done sold their soul for a couple of dollars
(I’m just saying)

Go right to the stress
Yeah (Stress, ohhh) I’m just saying
It’s the government (Stress, ohhh) I’m just saying
It’s the government (Stress, ohhh) I’m just saying

It ain’t right man
It’s way too much stress
(Everybody say), It's the government (Stress, ohhh) I’m just saying
(Get your hands up) It’s the government (Stress, ohhh) I’m just saying
(Yeah, come on) It’s the government (Stress, ohhh) I’m just saying
(Everybody say) It’s the government (Stress, ohhh) I’m just saying
(Yeah, come on) It’s the government (Stress, ohhh) I’m just saying

It ain’t right man
It's the government
It’s way too much stress
(Get your hands up) It’s the government (Stress, ohhh) I’m just saying
(Get your hands up) It’s the government (Stress, ohhh) I’m just saying
(Everybody say) It’s the government (Stress, ohhh) I’m just saying
(Say it louder) It’s the government (Stress, ohhh) I’m just saying

It ain’t right man
It’s way too much stress
(I can’t hear you) It’s the government (Stress, ohhh) I’m just saying
(I can’t hear you) It’s the government (Stress, ohhh) I’m just saying
(Say it louder) It’s the government (Stress, ohhh) I’m just saying
(That’s what I’m talkin’ bout) It’s the government
