Joey Badass - They Said He Had A Gun Lyrics

[Intro: Casanova & KayCyy]
(No justice, no peace)
They said he a gun, yeah, yeah (Black lives matter too, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
But he ain't have no gun, nah, nah (Nah, yeah, yeah, no justice, no peace)
Yeah

[Chorus: KayCyy]
They said he had a gun, yeah, yeah (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
But he ain’t have no gun, nah, nah (Nah, nah, nah)
Uh, I feel bad for him moms, yeah, yeah, uh, uh (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Two funerals in one month, yeah, she runnin' out of funds (Yeah)
He was only pickin' up his phone (His phone) and now he can’t make up his last call home (Yeah, his last call home)
Yeah, and you know it's not his fault (Yeah)
Blame it on the system 'cause they wanna see us fall (Fall)
They label us the victim when they can not prove us wrong

[Verse 1: Casanova]
'Cause all that money that she saved, she spent that on your grave
When she saved it for your school, but now her baby's on the news
Shot down by the boys in blue, not even a rival crew
Lawyers said just file a suit, but this is how they'll title you
As a Black livin' wack, bumpin' rap, drinkin’ Yak, sellin’ crack
This a fact, we're victims under attack
You suspicious ’cause your hoody low, but it's winter though
And it's cold out, you only pulled your phone out
Now you on the ground, sirin' sounds, brains blown out
What they know about comin’ out your own house?
Just to get a snack, bullets in your back
He ain't make it back just because he's Black
[Chorus: KayCyy & Joey Bada$$]
They said he had a gun, yeah, yeah (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
But he ain't have no gun, nah, nah (Nah, nah, nah)
Uh, I feel bad for him moms, yeah, yeah, uh, uh (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Two funerals in one month, yeah, she runnin' out of funds (Yeah)
He was only pickin' up his phone (His phone) and now he can't make up his last call home (Yeah, his last call home, they said he a had a gun, yeah, yeah)
Yeah, and you know it's not his fault (Yeah, don't hand him no gun, yeah, yeah)
Blame it on the system 'cause they wanna see us fall (Fall, yeah)
They label us the victim when they can not prove us wrong (On God)

[Verse 2: Joey Bada$$]
Rest in peace Kimani Gray though (Mighty Gray)
He was only sixteen when he got his halo (Rest in peace)
They said he had a gun up on him, that's just what they say though (That's just what they say)
Still ain't find the fingerprints on it 'til this very day though (I can not see)
It's like we six feet from the cradle (Yeah, yeah)
Summer time we use to play though
We was buildin' on the block 'cause we ain't have no Lego's (Nope)
We was chillin' in the plot when it got fuego (Uh)
Hot headed cops made us stop, drop, and lay low (Lay low)
Hoppin' out of drops gettin' stopped by the plain clothes (Plain)
They shoot us down, then they never shoot our angle of it
The irony of it, that's why they call it news coverage
That's why we thuggin', nigga

[Chorus: KayCyy]
They said he had a gun, yeah, yeah (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
But he ain't have no gun, nah, nah (Nah, nah, nah)
Uh, I feel bad for him moms, yeah, yeah, uh, uh (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Two funerals in one month, yeah, she runnin' out of funds (Yeah)
He was only pickin' up his phone (His phone) and now he can't make up his last call home (Yeah, his last call home)
Yeah, and you know it's not his fault (Yeah)
Blame it on the system 'cause they wanna see us fall (Fall)
They label us the victim when they can not prove us wrong
[Outro: KayCyy]
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, he ain't have no gun (Gun)
So why'd you shoot? He ain't have no gun (Gun)
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, let this be done (Done)
Will they kill you if let that man live?
Will they kill you if you let that man free? (Free)
Yeah, yeah, will they kill you if you let that man be? (Be, yeah, huh)
Will they kill you if you let that man see?
Will they kill you if you let that man see?
They said he had a gun, yeah, yeah (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
But he ain't have no gun, nah, nah (Nah, nah, nah)
I feel bad for him moms, yeah, yeah (Yeah, yeah)
