No teardrops, no more teardrops No teardrops (Hold on!), no more teardrops No more teardrops, no more No teardrops, no more teardrops No more teardrops, no teardrops
Police cars on fire in the gas and the dogs on a leash The seem like somethin' in the sixties They takin' knees like Lewinsky beating women like Bobby did Whitney That's why the only blue we salute is to barbecue at the precinct Hanging by the pigtails, burned Wendy's Strange fruits swingin' from the trees White folks 'cause they can't leave Try to life, that's a real quarantine They just the mask off when they can't breathe But we got officers in our esophagus Face blue 'cause he out of oxygen Got his brains blew by one of his Add you to the list of his He came in the night, now we're mourning fist up to no-knock warrants But the fascism ain't the only warrin' Look at the way the patriarchy and tore him Look at the blood, the filled with teardrops I ain't slavin' for 'em, I ain't 'bout to crop Pissed off, my lock in gridlock I'm with this shits, nigga, the bullshit stop
No teardrops, no more teardrops No more teardrops, no tears No teardrops, no more teardrops No teardrops, no more tears
I'm tired of only seein' at the funeral Tired of learnin' my homie's name at the I'm tired of wearin' suits, man, ain't suitable I'm tired of runnin', but the keep shooting me Niggas dyin' and we still buyin' Nigga, ain't the time for the tomfoolery A of the times, shit ain't what it used to be I throw a on, look at what they do to me .223 cocked, I don't need a This Street, we done got a bailout They try to tell us to in the government But even Barack is president, niggas had to sell rocks One out of fifteen niggas in the block The other fourteen, don't care about I'm in the courtroom pullin' my out I get another year for each one of my dreadlocks At times, you gotta fight to get your life back But if you fight back, you might get your life And just to fight back, you have the right stack 'Cause Johnny Cochran hit you with the price tag X, Huey Newton, they don't like that Hell, hell nah, they don't that nigga try to hit me with a nightstick I'm going for my clip, I ain't goin' out that
No more teardrops, no teardrops No teardrops, no more tears No more teardrops, no more No more teardrops, no more
