about

"If It Was Us" was written and recorded just days after the events that took place in Washington D.C. on 1/06/2021. We share it with you during a time when those that committed these acts against the country are being charged . Black Folk Inc. ask the simple question : What Would Happen "If It Was Us" ? We hope that this song can encourage an open dialogue to discuss the inequities in this country. Thank you

lyrics

If It Was Us

If It Was Us

If It Was Us

All we wanted was black lives to matter
but did it really matter
crackers look out they windows like look at them niggas act a fool
but then again them rules be double sided
especially when them so called rubber bullets be flying
fuck you mean I’m out here doing me peacefully
but the way you be eyeballing makes me keep my piece with me
we been dealt these cards lord such a long time
running from these crooked coppers like bank robbers I’m
fed up while folks keep hollering keep ya head up
how can I keep my head up when my neck is stuck
under yo knee and you telling me to breathe
all I see is my see is my deceased mama I wonder
If It Was Us
best believe they would have called them tanks and hell nah it wouldn’t have been no blanks
yeah If It Was Us
we wouldn’t made it pass the gate
handcuffed and thrown straight in the clink
If It Was Us

yeah If It Was Us

if it was us
they’d be constantly killing us
making us feel -like everything we do is villainous
this is us —who don't put up a fuss or fight much
be the same ones that seem to be bust on sight just
ain't right —this melting pot
is sweating hot
you can be laying in the bed and get shot
meanwhile they pandering and gerrymandering
chattering bout vote tampering Shenanigans
kool it Karen nazis never been patriotic
that bullshit Qanon a fairy tale and idiotic
capitol turned superspreader double hitter
now you wonder our country is in the shitter hey

If It Was Us
best believe they would have called them tanks and hell nah it wouldn’t have been no blanks
yeah If It Was Us
we wouldn’t have made it pass the gate
handcuffed and thrown straight in the clink hey
If It Was Us
yeah If It Was Us
If It Was Us
If It Was Us
If It Was Us
