It Ain't Fair (不公平) (Explicit) (《底特律》电影插曲) - The Roots/Bilal[00:00:00]
Written by:Ahmir Thompson/Tariq Trotter/Phonte Coleman[00:00:00]
Oh brother hmm[00:00:01]
It's a mystery yeah[00:00:09]
Will you hear my cry[00:00:18]
Won't you hear my plea oh[00:00:24]
Cause I'll never know I'll never know[00:00:31]
How it feels how it feels[00:00:36]
How it feels how it feels[00:00:40]
Oh how it feels how it feels[00:00:45]
To be[00:00:52]
To be[00:00:56]
Free[00:01:01]
People swear they won't but they're walking in their sleep[00:01:21]
I pray the lord their souls to keep[00:01:26]
Because wolves disguised as sheep patrol our streets[00:01:29]
And we all know that what you sow you shall reap[00:01:35]
Those who do know you should teach[00:01:40]
Through every loophole we gon' leap until you reach[00:01:43]
A common ground and become unbound[00:01:48]
Because when your whole town becomes a better round[00:01:52]
Tears weighing down[00:01:57]
Because it ain't fair[00:01:59]
It's hard when you're looking for love[00:02:03]
And it ain't there[00:02:06]
Or try to read what tomorrow holds[00:02:09]
When it ain't clear[00:02:13]
Because the well is running dry[00:02:16]
Race tension is running high[00:02:19]
Under 21 is far too young to die[00:02:22]
My salvation's under fire[00:02:27]
This marks a rising of the tide[00:02:29]
Every day I wear a mask like an umpire[00:02:32]
Guess a ni**a gotta laugh to keep from crying[00:02:34]
Tonight another friend passed on the young side[00:02:37]
It's bad 'cause a good friend's hard to come by[00:02:39]
Justice is never color blind never gun shy[00:02:42]
The one crime you may never see the sun shine[00:02:45]
We know of one times giving you the finger[00:02:47]
'Round hearing me f**k you it's not the number one sign[00:02:50]
I hear they turning downtown to the front line[00:02:53]
It's something like the same place but it ain't safe[00:02:55]
They took it from the human race to a tank chase[00:02:58]
The devil feeding off hate so he gain weight[00:03:01]
There's tainted water in the well so we can't taste[00:03:04]
People dazed and amazed though it ain't grace[00:03:06]
Impossible to co-exist in the same space[00:03:09]
Enter the black saint with the war paint face[00:03:12]
This generation we've forsaken all that's real[00:03:29]
What emotions do we feel[00:03:34]
Is your poison called a pistol or a pill[00:03:37]
Some people say let Jesus take the wheel[00:03:42]
Others say thou shall not kill[00:03:46]
But they don't tell religion ain't gon' pay my bills[00:03:49]
We've come so far yet here we are[00:03:55]
Ruthless god presumed inferior[00:03:59]
We scared o y'all[00:04:03]
It ain't fair[00:04:05]
It's hard when you're looking for love[00:04:08]
And it ain't there[00:04:12]
Or try to read what tomorrow holds[00:04:15]
When it ain't clear[00:04:18]
Because the well is running dry[00:04:21]
Race tension is running high[00:04:24]
Under 21 is far too young to die[00:04:27]
My salvation's under fire[00:04:32]
Rising and rising oh[00:04:34]
To my afro Israelis Native American Mexicans[00:04:37]
Invested in wrestling with Willie lynch's next to kin[00:04:40]
The rising of the tide noose surrounding necks again[00:04:42]
Look at how they try to hide proof of all the in excellence[00:04:45]
The only tag you know me as is holy swag[00:04:48]
Through any glass window we smash and bro we back[00:04:50]
It's coming fast I'm unabashed so we have[00:04:53]
An awareness of the only flag that's growing fast[00:04:55]
I guess I'm tryna minimize regrets I identify with death[00:04:58]
That don't mean it's not an uninvited guest[00:05:02]
I'm just tryna answer all of my requests[00:05:04]
And express in 140 characters or less[00:05:06]
Why I'm the best educator re legislated premeditated[00:05:08]
Dedicated heavy weight that ever paid it with blood[00:05:11]
Not tuition without a cop's permission[00:05:14]
I got a pot to piss in despite the opposition[00:05:16]
Listen[00:05:19]
Oh it ain't fair[00:05:20]
It's hard when you're looking for love[00:05:22]
But it ain't there[00:05:25]
Try to read what tomorrow holds[00:05:29]
And it ain't clear[00:05:32]
Because the well is running dry[00:05:35]
And it ain't fair[00:05:38]
No it ain't there[00:05:40]
No it ain't fair[00:05:43]
Looking for justice and it's just us[00:05:47]
It ain't fair[00:05:50]
There's a riot going on out there[00:05:53]
And it ain't fair[00:05:56]
When your protector is your predator[00:06:00]
It ain't fair[00:06:03]
No it ain't fair[00:06:04]
No it ain't fair[00:06:07]
Y'all just gon' turn the other way[00:06:12]
No it ain't fair[00:06:14]
Turn a bloody cheek on these bloody streets[00:06:18]
It ain't fair[00:06:22]
It ain't fair[00:06:25]
It ain't fair[00:06:27]
No it ain't fair[00:06:29]
No no[00:06:32]
No no[00:06:34]
No no[00:06:36]
No no[00:06:39]
