X-Raided – Serve & Protect Lyrics

Artist: X-Raided
Song: Serve & Protect

I’m part of my community, i have a place in the circle
Yeah
This ain’t no black versus white thing
This is a people vs. the system thing

So let’s stand up and ride how we ‘posed to ride
Yeah
You only had one job (one job)
You only had one job (yeah)

You only had one job (one job)
You only had one job (one job)
That was to serve and protect (yeah)
Serve and protect (that’s serve and protect)

Serve and protect (yeah)
Serve and protect (that’s serve and protect)
You only had one job (one job)
You only had one job (you failed)

You only had one job (one job)
You only had one job (one job)
That was to serve and protect (yeah)
Serve and protect (that’s serve and protect)

Serve and protect (yeah)
Serve and protect (serve and protect)
Okay, i looked in the rearview mirror and saw a cop car behind me
I don’t have any warrants, no one looking for me and no one trying to find me

I know he running my plates, the pit in my stomach is grimy
Got my registration, insurance and license, no one tryna fine me
They turn on the lights and sirens, i don’t even know what i did
Feeling trepidation cause i just wanna make it home to my kid

I kept both hands on the steering wheel, i was sitting there frozen in fear
This the day my daughter always dreaded, feel like the moment is here
I rolled my window down and he walked up with his hand on his weapon
His partner took out his gun, i asked why, he said for his own protection

I ain’t been in trouble in decades, why was this necessitated?
When i asked that question, the whole situation escalated
I got shot with a taser, i was pepper sprayed in the face
I was dragged from the car, he landed on me with all his weight on my face

He put his knee in my neck, i said i can’t breathe
He told me to stop resisting, that’s an order i can’t heed
You only had one job (one job)
You only had one job (one job)

You only had one job (one job)
You only had one job (you failed)
That was to serve and protect (yeah)
Serve and protect (that’s serve and protect)

Serve and protect (yeah)
Serve and protect (that’s serve and protect)
You only had one job (one job)
You only had one job (one job)

You only had one job (you failed)
You only had one job (one job)
That was to serve and protect (yeah)
Serve and protect (that’s serve and protect)

Serve and protect (yeah)
Serve and protect (serve and protect)
Good morning america
This is a warning, america

The crime i committed today was being born in america
Good morning america
This is a warning, america
The crime i committed today was being born in america

Okay, if i stay still i’ma die, sir, i can’t breathe
All this pepper spray in my eyes, sir, i can’t see
You told me to stand up and your partner told me “don’t move”
You told me put my hands up, your partner say that’s the wrong move

You told me i must comply with orders, i’m wondering which to choose
You told me to pull my pants up, your partner told me he gon shoot
People started pulling out their phones, filming the whole scene
Somebody started yelling “don’t shoot”, the cops called for the whole team

They started yelling “lay down, don’t disobey, what’s your name, don’t speak, hands up, hands down, don’t kneel, don’t preach, let’s protest, clear the street, don’t retaliate, turn the other cheek, get on the ground, on your feet, get your id, don’t do it, don’t reach”
You only had one job
You only had one job (one job)
You only had one job (one job)

You only had one job (one job)
That was to serve and protect (protect)
Serve and protect (yeah)
Serve and protect (yeah)

Serve and protect (serve and protect)
You only had one job (one job)
You only had one job (one job)
You only had one job (you failed)

You only had one job (one job)
That was to serve and protect (yeah)
Serve and protect (serve and protect)
Serve and protect (yeah)

Serve and protect (serve and protect)
Good morning america
This is a warning, america
The crime i committed today was being born in america

Good morning america
This is a warning, america
The crime i committed today was being born in america
Good morning america

This is a warning, america
The crime i committed today was being born in america
Good morning america
This is a warning, america

The crime i committed today was being born in america
