Crumb

[Intro]
Please, Sir, can I get a crumb?
Please, Sir, can I get a crumb?
Please, Sir, can I get a crumb?
Please, Sir, can I get a- Please, Sir, can I get a crumb?

[Verse]
Please, Sir, can I get a crumb?
We’ve been marching very long
Beaten and shot by pepper guns
This ain’t new, been millenniums
Painted Black Lives Matter
But what you do for them?
Talked some tough talk
But you move like slugs in mud
We’ve suggested what to do
But you said we’ve step to far
Wеll what you gonna do
Ain’t it your job to write the law?
All we can givе is bullets
You treat that like “shots fired”
Show up like you’re off to war
Turn a march into a riot
Now you’d be remiss
To think that we’ll stay quiet
You say change takes a while
I think you just want us to die off
Well I’mma make a better world
Not for my son, but for me
Better today, not tomorrow
So we’ll show up in the streets
Armed with chains and ropes
The same ones they used to choke
To lynch the slaves who misspoke
Throw it round the masters’ throat
And if you’re really that upset
About a pile of stones
I can’t imagine how you’ll feel
When the crumbs add up to the whole
