Chorus
Hands up, don't shoot
Hands up, don't shoot
I just used to be a young black man, now I'm black and blue
You see fifty stars on the flag, but they don't see a star in you
They say I'ma be the one to blame even if I keep it cool
Even if I keep it cool

Verse 1
Every day, we find a way to maintain
Police reign hell on our great name
To make us think being black ain't a great thing
Feels like a trap, it's so sad we get shot for being

Chorus
Hands up, don't shoot
Hands up, don't shoot
I just used to be a young black man, now I'm black and blue
You see fifty stars on the flag, but they don't see a star in you
They say I'ma be the one to blame even if I keep it cool
Even if I keep it cool

Verse 2
Got rid of the chains, still gotta find a way to escape
I try to be brave, I pray the Lord my soul to take
I'm thinking anyone could be a traitor
I wonder when the world is gonna wake up
Supposed to protect our lives, not take 'em
Supposed to protect our lives, not take 'em

Chorus
Hands up, don't shoot
Hands up, don't shoot
I just used to be a young black man, now I'm black and blue
You see fifty stars on the flag, but they don't see a star in you They don't see a star in you
They say I'ma be the one to blame even if I keep it cool
Even if I keep it cool

Outro
Even if I keep it cool
Even if I keep it cool
Even if I keep it cool
Even if I keep it cool
