What you think you gon' do
When the trigger's on you, brother?
How you think you gon' move
When it's bigger than you, brother?
What you think you gon' do
When the trigger's on you, brother?
How you think you gon' move
When it's bigger than you?

Please don't pick that pocket
There's a face like yours in this locket
And they won't hesitate to kick me out this
Shopping mall 'cause we're their target
And they gon' crawl around this market
To follow y'all 'cause y'all look suspect
That group too big to beg their pardon
And news told me some racist jargon
A black face and black hoodie a political symbol
And the gavel comes down like the crash of a cymbal
Not a thimble, not a pick, but it's sewn into the brick
Jack be nimble, Jack be quick at the burning of a stick
And the burning of a bush told me that I was great
But the burning of a cross told me to play it safe
'Cause somehow my actions represent a whole race
It's hard to move different when your face is our face, ah

What you think you gon' do
When the trigger's on you, brother?
How you think you gon' move
When it's bigger than you, brother?
What you think you gon' do
When the trigger's on you, brother?
How you think you gon' move
When it's bigger than you?

You see the little black boys, yeah, the hood ones
Only four finger grabs with the good thumbs
You see the way they ran through, they some hoodlums
Oh nah, not you man, you're a good one, good one
Wish I saw the joke inside the fulsome
Hard truth, don't spare me a cushion
Brown babes still sucking on the bosom
But you ain't feel none
When you see the Arab man, it's the bombs and flares
When you see the Asian man, it's the yellow scare
When you see the black man, it's riots and terror
But when I talk about slavery, you weren't there, how convenient
Quick to point the judges pole, but now you lenient
Your image wasn't up for grabs in this agreement
But somehow your actions represent a whole race
It's hard to move different when your face is their face, ah

What you think you gon' do
When the trigger's on you, brother?
How you think you gon' move
When it's bigger than you, brother?
What you think you gon' do
When the trigger's on you, brother?
How you think you gon' move
When it's bigger than you?

When it's bigger than you?
When it's bigger than you?
When it's bigger than you?
When it's bigger than you?
