[Verse 1]
And I'm in denial
And it don't take no x-ray to see right through my smile
I know, I be on the go
And there ain't no drink out there that can numb my soul
Oh no
[Hook] x2
All we wanna do is take the chains off
All we wanna do is break the chains off
All we wanna do is be free
All we wanna do is be free
[Verse 2]
Can you tell me why
Every time I step outside I see my niggas die
I'm lettin' you know
That there ain't no gun they make that can kill my soul
Oh no
[Hook] x2
[Eyewitness account from Dorian Johnson:]
So there was like, officers pulling him inside the car
Hes trying to pull away and at no time the officer said
That he was going to do anything until he pulled out his weapon
His weapon was drawn and he said, "I'll shoot you" or, "I'm going to shoot" and in the same moment, the first shot went off, and we looked down and he was shot and there was blood coming from him
Then we took off running
[Verse 3]
Are we all alone, fighting on our own
Please give me a chance, I don't wanna dance
Somethings got me down, I will stand my ground
Don't just stand around, don't just stand around
[Eyewitness account from Dorian Johnson:]
And as we took off running I ducked and hid for my life, because I was fearing for my life, and I hid behind the first car I saw. My friend, he kept running, and he told me to keep running because he feared for me too. So as he was running the officer was trying to get out of the car, and once he got out the car he pursued my friend but his weapon was drawn. Now he didn't see any weapon drawn at him or anything like that, us going for no weapon. His weapon was already drawn once he got out the car. He shot again, and once my friend felt that shot, he turned around and put his hands in the air, and started to get down but the officer still approached with his weapon drawn and he fired 7 more shots and my friend died
