Lyrics

Hella hella hella hey by the end of the day

Expressing urgency and intensity, suggesting a significant event or resolution by the end of the day.

Hella hella hella hey by the end of the day

Reiteration of the urgency and intensity, emphasizing a looming outcome by the end of the day.

Hella hella hella hey

Continuing the sense of urgency and intensity with repeated exclamations.

Someone's gonna have to pay

Suggesting that consequences or retribution will be faced by someone eventually.

Hella hella hella hey

Reiterating the idea that someone will face consequences or a price to pay.

Someone's gonna have to pay

Reemphasizing the anticipation of consequences for someone.

Every time I see the news

Expressing a negative emotional reaction to the news, possibly due to its impact or content.

I feel like I've been abused

Feeling emotionally harmed or mistreated when exposed to news content.

Every time I walk the streets

Sensing surveillance or scrutiny while navigating public spaces.

I feel like their watching me

Feeling a sense of being observed or monitored during walks through the streets.

Every time I see the cops

Associating encounters with law enforcement with the fear of harm or danger.

I feel like I'm getting' shot

Perceiving a potential threat or harm when encountering the police.

When I ask them what I've done

Expressing confusion or disbelief when questioning authority about one's actions.

They say you're an African

Receiving an identity-based response, possibly indicating racial profiling.

Hella hella hella hey by the end of the day

Reiteration of the urgency and intensity, suggesting a significant event or resolution by the end of the day.

Hella hella hella hey by the end of the day

Emphasizing the urgency and intensity, restating the anticipation of a resolution by the end of the day.

Hella hella hella hey

Continuing the sense of urgency and intensity with repeated exclamations.

Someone's gonna have to pay

Reiterating the idea that someone will face consequences or a price to pay.

Hella hella hella hey

Reemphasizing the anticipation of consequences for someone.

Someone's gonna have to pay

Reiterating the expectation that someone will face consequences.

Every time I see the news

Expressing a negative emotional reaction to the news, possibly due to its impact or content.

I feel like I've been abused

Feeling emotionally harmed or mistreated when exposed to news content.

Every time I walk the streets

Sensing surveillance or scrutiny while navigating public spaces.

I feel like their watching me

Feeling a sense of being observed or monitored during walks through the streets.

Every time I see the cops

Associating encounters with law enforcement with the fear of harm or danger.

I feel like I'm getting' shot

Perceiving a potential threat or harm when encountering the police.

When I ask them what I've done

Expressing confusion or disbelief when questioning authority about one's actions.

They say you're an African
