Yurby - Hands Up Lyrics

Been driving for miles and scared

Saw the common violence of a man
Heard the disregard of many

He said, "ma'am are you from here?"
I've never been from anywhere else
But you can make me feel like I don't belong

Guilty before I speak
Dead before I move
So live on the telephone
So I can show the world

I put my hands up slow
I put my hands up slow
I put my hands up slow

But my skin is a weapon
They've already pulled the trigger
Skin is a weapon
They've already pulled the trigger

And you ready to see me fall
You ready to see me fall
You ready? You ready, You ready, You ready? You ready?

Been driving for miles and scared
He said "Get out of your car"
And I was afraid he wouldn't recognize me as human

They say we're savages, we're criminals
Domesticated animals and basically

I am guilty before I speak
I'll be dead before I move
So live on the telephone
So I can show the world

I put my hands up slow
I put my hands up slow
I put my hands up slow

But my skin is a weapon
They've already pulled the trigger
My skin is a weapon
And you ready to see me fall
You ready to me fall
You ready? You ready, You ready You ready? You ready?

Your fear is good intentioned but you're not in the jungle
Let me explain it, You are blinded by the monster
The media that hunts you
Who made you more than human?

But my skin is a weapon
They've already pulled the trigger
But my skin is a weapon
They've already pulled the trigger
And you ready to see me fall
You ready to me fall
You ready? You ready, You ready, You ready? You ready?
