Bite Back Lyrics

I saw like four... five... police cars on the 405
Fly by in code
3 time to hold the line
They see the weapon in you
No sudden moves if you do
Our very bodies are shotties
Wait till we use our minds

Woke up this morning
To people mourning
Another brother they murdered
Just as a warning
That if we speak up
About how they treat us
They'll do it over and over
Until we bite back

This time we bite back
So lets bite them back
This time we bite back
They'll do it over and over
Until we bite back

Fuck forgiveness god's a witness and she has seen it all
That's your Jesus, those light features don't look like me at all
I want more pictures of we in books that teach history
I want to be there when the final racist statue falls

Woke up this morning
To people mourning
Another sister, we miss her
Tensions are soaring
This time we speak up
Make sure they see us
They just gon beat us won't feed us
Until we bite back

This time we bite back
So lets bite them back
This time we bite back
They'll do it over and over
Until we bite back

That gospel from which you haven't continued to benefit from is the curse by which we continue to be destroyed
So please, please stop preaching their painful privileged gospel and let us live free
Free of the anxiety we experience knowing our bodies will be targeted and destroyed
As if to serve as a symbol of the power they have convinced us we do not possess
Our beautiful bodies like trophies placed upon the mantle of a collapsing structure
We are the fucking trophies and we are the fucking victims saying
Let's fucking bite back

This time we bite back
So lets bite them back
This time we bite back
They'll do it over and over
Until we bite back
This time we bite back
Let's fucking bite back
This time we bite back
They'll do it over and over
Until we bite back

Bite back
