Lyrics
It's Fi
Introduction, identifying as Fi.
Tryna dictate my life
Expressing resistance to external control over life.
Wanna take away my rights
Perceiving a threat to personal rights.
Gunnin' niggas down on sight
Highlighting violence against individuals.
They don't wanna fight that fight
Emphasizing reluctance or fear to engage in a challenging struggle.
They don't wanna fight that fight
-They don't wanna fight that fight
-They don't wanna fight that fight
-They don't wanna fight that fight
-Rather see me trappin out a bando
Reference to a difficult life situation (trapping in a bando).
But I need that justice for Philando
Expressing the need for justice (Philando reference).
Seeing all these killings on the channels
Observation of repeated killings and the impact (lighting a candle).
Black man dead again light a candle
-They don't wanna see my side
Feeling misunderstood, proud of identity, and facing resistance.
They don't want me outside
-They don't want me too loud
-Told em I'm black and proud
-Women dead too thinking bout Shantel
Mourning specific individuals and expressing collective suffering.
Phoenix dead wrong RIP Michelle
-Black and brown kids we done went through hell put our faith in God hope that we prevail
-Wouldn't shoot a Karen cause' her skin like rice
Commenting on racial injustice and violence against young individuals.
Rip Tamir i'ma say that twice
-Rip Tamir why they take yo life
-You was just a kid they ain't care they sight wasn't bad at all it's they way of Life
-They just wanna see me put the lean on ice
Perceived stereotypes and challenges due to skin color.
Label me a thug cause' my skin ain't white
-Born into this life had to pay a price for the color of my skin just to be precise
-Don't wanna hear bout a flag or a knee
Rejecting symbolic gestures until justice is achieved.
Till I get justice for just being me
-They get off killing for being police
-Tryna dictate my life
Repetition of the reluctance or fear to engage in a challenging struggle.
Wanna take away my rights
-Gunnin' niggas down on sight
-They don't wanna fight that fight
-They don't wanna fight that fight
-They don't wanna fight that fight
-They don't wanna fight that fight
-They don't wanna fight that fight
-They don't wanna fight that fight
Continuing the theme, emphasizing the need for vision and justice.
Tryna give a vision give em sight on sight
-Dealing with plight on plight
-Justice on the way need to expedite
-They don't wanna see me win
Expressing internal strength and determination amidst challenges.
Feel it from deep within
-Feeling pain from my kin
-Hate on me cause' my skin
-Scrollin' up and down looking on my phone
-Killed another one RIP C Jones
-Corey got killed he ain't do no wrong he was just another victim of a flawed system
-No hashtags we don't need captions
-We need real change wanna see action
-Wanna keep me down I won't be stagnant
-Tryna dictate my life
Final repetition of the reluctance or fear to engage in a challenging struggle.
Wanna take away my rights
-Gunnin' niggas down on sight
-They don't wanna fight that fight
-They don't wanna fight that fight
-They don't wanna fight that fight
-They don't wanna fight that fight
-They don't wanna fight that fight
