Skin head, Dead head, 
everybody gone bad 
Situation, aggravation, 

everybody allegation 
In the suite, on the news, 
everybody dog food 
Bang, bang shot dead, 

everybody's gone mad 
All I wanna say is that 
they don't really 
care about us 

All I wanna say is that 
they don't really 
care about us 
Beat me, hate me, 

you could never break me 
Will me, thrill me, 
you can never kill me 
Do me, sue me, 

everybody do me 
Kick me, kike me, 
don't you black 
or white me 

All I wanna say is that 
they don't really 
care about us 
All I wanna say is that 

they don't really 
care about us 
Tell me what has 
become of my life 

I have a wife and 
two children who love me 
I am the victim of 
police brutality no 

I'm tired of being 
the victim of hate 
You're rapin' me of 
my pride 

Oh for God's sake 
I look to heaven 
to fulfill this prophecy 
Set me free 

Skin head, dead head, 
everybody gone bad 
Trepidation, speculation, 
everybody allegation 

In the soup, on the loose, 
everybody dog food 
Black man, blackmail, 
throw your brother in jail 

All I wanna say is that 
they don't really 
care about us 
All I wanna say is that 

they don't really 
care about us 
Tell me what has 
become of my rights 

Am I invisible because 
you ignore me? 
Your proclamation promised 
me free liberty now 

Dahhh 
I'm tired of bein' 
the victim of shame 
You're throwin' me 

in a class with a 
bad name 
I can't believe this is 
the land from which I came 

You know I really 
hate to say it 
The government 
don't wanna see 

But if Roosevelt was livin', 
he wouldn't let this be 
No, no 
Skin head, dead head, 

everybody gone bad 
Situation, speculation, 
everybody allegation 
Beat me, bash me, 

you can never trash me 
Hit me, kick me, 
you can never get me 
All I wanna say is that 

they don't really 
care about us 
All I wanna say is that 
they don't really 

care about us 

Some things in life 
they just don't wanna see 

But if Martin Luther was livin' 
He wouldn't let this be 
No No No Yeah Yeah Yeah 
Oooh Hoo, Oooh Hoo 

You keep me higher 
You keep me higher 
I'm there to remind you 
Don't you protect him 

from my you 
Oooh Hoo, Oooh Hoo 
Oooh Hoo,
