Every once in a while, somebody is getting shot in the back
For no reason, for no reason
Seems like every day now, somebody is getting kicked in the face
For no reason, for no reason
No reason, you ain′t got no reason
Crimes demand sentences, you say there are tendencies
Potential ones, oh, yes, potential ones
But there ain't no Muslims, there ain′t no extremists
Only potential ones, potential ones
Potential ones, potential ones
Now look what you've done, now that you shot him down
Why can't you take the barricade down?
Such a dead-end conspiracy to blame an entire community
It ain′t no new thing, it ain′t no new thing
Either way, you can't win, that′s a hard way to begin
Who's deserving, who′s unworthy?
Who's deserving, who′s unworthy?
Now my ass is on the line, and my brother left me betrayed
You called me sand n----r, still, I don't take your bait
Billions of people live the modest way
Trying to make it through each day
Mixed-up confusion will not break up their game
Mixed-up confusion makes the innocent blamed
Every once in a while, somebody is getting shot in the back
For no reason, for no reason
Seems like every day now, somebody is getting kicked in the face
For no reason, for no reason
No reason, you ain't got no reason
Now look what you′ve done, now that you shot him down
Why can′t you take the barricade down?
No freedom, no reason
You ain't got no freedom
You ain′t got no reason
You ain't got no freedom
You ain′t got no reason
You ain't got no reason
No freedom, reason
You ain′t got no reason
You ain't got no freedom
You ain't got no
