Bleed (Don't Shoot) feat. Leya Marie
Don’t Shoot
They Gotta Stop Killing Black Boys'
By: Professor Griff
Griff's Verse
In the midst of the pandemic
Blackman shot but, the news wanna spin it.
Out for a jog, said he broke in a house cuz he
Had no job.
Race tense in a southern state
unAware that triggerman filled with hate
White supremacist armed with a shotgun
Ex-Slave, he was on the run
Former cop, Not the Block watch
But you blocked the blocks,
like the Top Cop
so you wont stop
Now you lick shots, and lick shots
Hook 4xs
Don't Shoot
Bleed
Leya's Verse
Im dead but my hands were up
Shot me in the chest cuz i was standing up
The cop got scared he wasnt man enuff
Yea dey scared cuz dey ainn tan enuff
Young black king n the man is buff
They really cant fight so they need a gun
our minds are strong n our skin is tough
should b layin in my bed instead its blood
I just went and bought some candy
Hood on walkin i'm so care free
serve all?? but i was unprotected!!
my last day it was unexpected
Now i'm joggin my skin is black
Im the robber so they attacked
It was all a lie i was passin by so thats the reason i had to die
Its bull n this world is ours we fear our life for every hour say yall righteous yall really cowards we standing up to fight the power
Want us quiet but we wont mute
relax i'm breathing.... dont shoot
Hook 4xs
Don't Shoot

Bleed
Griffs 2nd verse
Slave catchers like law enforcement
quasi figures they run up on him
Their intent was to stop
hold the suspect, but, shot on the spot
The black man’s on trial,
despite the fact he was the one shot down
“White folks taken it upon themselves
To police Black bodies and send us to hell
“Cut-and-dry murder case”
Teen being gunned down because of his black race
conversation too blunt, No News, No Arrest for the last two months
Armed with your 12 gauge
Father and son filled with white rage
Racism is alive and well,
Normalized lies cuz its done so well
Libation for our fallen Soul-Jahs
