lyrics

No Thin Line
© Rico Pabón

They love it when we’re quiet
Hate it when we riot
They love us all compliant
They hate when we’re defiant They hate it when we stand up Can’t stand it when we kneel down They blast us with our hands up
In the chest like Michael Brown
And no this ain’t no fiction
It’s hotter cuz of the friction
Police have no restrictions
They’re just following they’re traditions Of paddy wagons slave patrols
been the way they gain control
of our beautiful bodies, brains and souls they hate it when we know that
and they hate it when we’re pro Black
and they hate it when we’re down for brown and love it when we smoke crack
and love it when we sell that
you can just look at the cells we held at that’s when you can really tell that’s
where the private prisons wealth is at
and these are not lies
the bigger the cell block size
the more the stocks rise
when they’re filled up with the top prize
our bodies are commodities
that hold up the economy
murderous methodologies
survival’s like monopoly
But it’s real life
it’s no dice
real love, real hate, no thin line And it’s no games
it’s a cold fight
real love, real hate, no thin line
They hate it when we peepin And they love it when we sleepin They hate it when we teaching

And they love when the preachers preaching Cuz they love it when we kneeling
With our palms up to the ceiling
Cuz then we just believing
And not questioning what we seeing They love it when we follow
And the blue pill we swallow
They hate it when our motto
Is be like Frida Khalo
They hate it when we fly
They hate it when we spread our wings They love it when we high
And they hate it when we say we kings They love when we depressed
It’s easier to oppress
They love it when we stress
On how we look and dress
They love when we play checkers
While them suckas playing chess
They hate when we come together
And they see our success
They hate when we protest
They hate when we progress
When we demand respect
And won’t stand for nothing less
And they love when we play lottery
And they hate when we own property
And it’s probably
Just because we threatening they monopoly
But it’s real life
it’s no dice
real love, real hate, no thin line And it’s no games
it’s a cold fight
real love, real hate, no thin line
