*Note: This song is not meant to offend anyone, but if it does then maybe you're part of the problem, enough is enough!

Rough Out Here, the hot new single by (RMG) recording artist Will Ready! R&B, Soul up-tempo track about the issues Blacks deal with every day in America. This song is meant to shed light on a subject that’s been an issue for over 400 years and counting. It’s a conversation that needs to be had!

lyrics

Chorus:
Getting kind of rough out here,
Things have gotta change:
Times are tough out here
Things can't stay the same:
It's time for you, to listen up
It's time for you to stop ignoring us:
Been going on for far too long
400 years is enough:
1st Verse:
Didn't ask to be here
Didn't ask to come:
Mistreated from day one
Tell me what's going on:
Taken from our families
Made to work for free
Lynched us, beat us, mistreated us
So you could live abundantly:
Change:
Who's the one trying to hold us down
Who's the one, that's doing us wrong
Who's the one, that's hard on us
Who's the one, to profit off us:
Who's the one, that stole from us
Who's the one, that's killing us
Who's the one, that's hating on us
Who's the one, Who's the thug, tell me:
Chorus:
Getting kind of rough out here,
Things have gotta change:
Times are tough out here
Things can't stay the same:
It's time for you, to listen up
It's time for you to stop ignoring us:
Been going on for far too long
2nd Verse:
Privileges, we don't have
Still fighting for today:
Martin killed, fighting for change back in 1968
Malcom spoke the truth in 65
They go rid of him; Umm humm, Umm humm
Ali they took his belt,
Because he wouldn't fight for them
(Ain't no Viet Cong ever called me Niger)
Change:
Who's the one trying to hold us down
Who's the one, that's doing us wrong
Who's the one, that's hard on us
Who's the one, to profit off us:
Who's the one, that stole from us
Who's the one, that's killing us
Who's the one, that's hating on us
Who's the one, Who's the thug, tell me:
Chorus:
Getting kind of rough out here,
Things have gotta change:
Times are tough out here
Things can't stay the same:
It's time for you, to listen up
It's time for you to stop ignoring us:
Been going on for far too long
3rd Verse:
Will it ever stop, will it remain the same
Everyone should speak up
That's the only way it's going na change:
Treat me bad, because I'm black
Because I don't look like you
Who are you to judge me
Talking about a Constitution:
Change:
Who's the one trying to hold us down
Who's the one, that's doing us wrong
Who's the one, that's hard on us
Who's the one, to profit off us:
Who's the one, that stole from us
Who's the one, that's killing us
Who's the one, that's hating on us
Who's the one, Who's the thug, tell me:
Chant:
On my knees, on my knees
Can't breathe, can't breathe
Hands up, hands up
Don't shoot, don't shoot:
On my knees, on my knees
Can't breathe, can't breathe
Hands up, hands up
Don't shoot, don't shoot:
Talk:
Kap tried to tell you
But you just twisted the message
He was trying to make by kneeling:
It had nothing to do with the
Flag, the Anthem or The Military:
You know what it is:
Emmett Till, George Floyd, Trayvon Martin
Breona Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery are just a few
Of the names of so many Black that have been
Unjustly murdered by prejudice and by
The Police who are supposed to protect us:
Enough is Enough:
It's Rough Out Here!
