[Verse 1]
I saw like four, five police cars on the 405
Fly by in code, three time to hold the line
They see the weapon in you, no sudden moves if you do
Our very bodies are shotties, wait 'til we use our minds
[Pre-Chorus]
Woke up this morning to people mourning
Another brother they murdered just as a warning
That if we speak up 'bout how they treat us
They’ll do it over and over until we bite back
[Chorus]
This time we bite back
So let's bite them back
This time we bite back
They'll do it over and over until we bite back
[Verse 2]
Fuck forgiveness God's a witness and she has seen it all
That's your Jesus, those light features don't look like me at all
I want more pictures of we in books that teach history
I want to be there when the final racist statue falls
[Pre-Chorus]
Woke up this morning to people mourning
Another sister we miss her, tensions are soaring
This time we speak up, make sure they see us
They just gon beat us won't feed us until we bite back
[Chorus]
This time we bite back
So let's bite them back
This time we bite back
They'll do it over and over until we bite back, yeah, huh
[Bridge]
That gospel for which you have and continue to benefit from is the curse
By which we continue to be destroyed, so please
Please stop preaching that painful privilege gospel
And let us live free
Free of the anxiety we experience
Knowing our bodies will be targeted and destroyed
As if to serve as a symbol of the power
They have convinced us we do not possess
Our beautiful bodies like trophies
Paste upon the mantle of a collapsing structure
We are the fucking trophies and we are the fucking victims saying
Let's fucking bite back
[Chorus]
This time we bite back
So let's bite them back
This time we bite back
They'll do it over and over until we bite back
This time we bite back
Let's fucking bite back
This time we bite back
They'll do it over and over until we bite back
[Outro]
Bite back
