Remix to "Theraflu" by Kanye West.

lyrics

Can’t a young boy wear a hoodie anymore?/
Tell police/ my bike/ they rammed into the floor/
Can I take the transit, travel on the BART?/
Come to meet me I don’t have a gun on/

March for Trayvon/ Vigil for Fong Lee/
I tell ya non-believers it’s deeper than the police/
Off to school one day to funeral Sunday/
We done heard all the loud gun shots, we used to it/
Hear the system’s fucked up, no one is locked up////
You could just kill somebody and YouTube it/
Only involuntary manslaughter man who knew this?/
If you could do better than Oscar Grant, would you do it?/
We’re tired of the killers loose, victims are children too/
One million hoodies look, we made it to the evening news/
Don’t say it’s not race, cause I embarrass you/
Shut the fuck up when you talk to me, ‘fore I embarrass you/

Can’t a young boy wear a hoodie anymore?/
Tell police/ my bike/ they rammed into the floor/
Can I take the transit, travel on the BART?/
Come to meet me I don’t have a gun on/

And the whole media wanna cover all of it/
Only man I respect is not Andersen/
And I’ll admit, I thought it was the end/
‘Round the same time that shit happened with Zimmerman/
Well that ain’t cool, man, deserve media attention/
Lucky I ain’t get my way, lock him up in prison/
This is familiar, Discrimination,
We in the coliseum, we know what race is/
Tired of the killers loose, victims are children too/
One million hoodies look, we made it to the evening news/
Don’t say it’s not race, cause I embarrass you/
Shut the fuck up when you talk to me, ‘fore I embarrass you/

Our movement/ no rest, no rest/
This is self-defense, we protest, protest/
Body chalk lines mapped, no arrests/
All that said, lemme ask this quest-’/

Can’t a young boy wear a hoodie anymore?/
Tell police/ our bikes/ they rammed into the floor/
Can we take the transit, travel on the BART?/
Come to meet us we don’t
Don’t say it ain’t race, We’ll mafuckin’ embarrass you/
Talking ‘bout clothes, We’ll mafuckin’ embarrass you/
Sayin’ you didn’t know, We’ll mafuckin’ embarrass you/
Way too cold/ I promise you need some Theraflu/
(Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh) Get the Theraflu
(Uh, uh-uh, uh-uh, uh) Get the Theraflu
(Uh, uh-uh, uh-uh, uh, uh-uh, uh-uh)
(Uh, uh-uh, uh-uh uh) Get the Theraflu
