2020 has been a tumultuous, nightmarish year. From the death, violence, the coronavirus, compounded by more and more injustices at the hands of police as the result of systemic racism coming to light... it's safe to say people are exhausted, pissed off, and deeply saddened. There is hope, there is light, all because of the strong folks on the front lines that tirelessly march, spread knowledge, protest, and continue to make their and OUR voices heard. God bless these good people doing the hard work to enact change. I hope this song gives us all continued energy and strength to fight the good fight. WE GOT THE BOOST! WE GOT THE JUICE! LEAVE A LIL DRIP ON YOU!

lyrics
We got the boost, uh (boost, boost!)
We got the juice (yeah)
Leave a lil' drip on you
We got the lean (lean)
We got the ‘la (la)
Shake a lil somethin’ and slide
Jump on the wave, wave
Oh, wave, wave
Pump on the breaks, wait
Awake, hey
Jump on the wave
I feel the temperature rising
Fire and sirens
But I ain’t a fool, yeah
(That’s my life, homie)
Looking for somebody
They could beat up and bust a shotty
Tired of counting all the bodies on the floor
We got the boost, uh (boost, boost!)
We got the juice
Leave a lil' drip on you (what)
We got the lean (lean)
We got the ‘la (la)
Shake a lil somethin’ and slide
Tick-tock
Time running from me
When they keep killin’ people from ya family tree
On the news another reason, he commit felony
8 minute killing you with they knees
(Leaving you dead in the street!)
Shuttin’ down the freeway, uh
Making all our moves major (major)
Black and brown, love your neighbor
Educate and erase all the haters
Go away, (go away) go away, go away (go away)
Go away go away, go away
Hands Up! (All the way up!) Don’t Shoot!
Hands Up! (All the way up!) Don’t Shoot!
Hands Up! Don’t Shoot!
Hands Up! (1! 2!) Don’t Shoot!
We got the boost, uh (boost, boost!)
We got the juice
Leave a lil' drip on you
We got the lean (lean)
We got the ‘la (la)
Shake a lil somethin’ and slide
Don’t want no problems (no)
Man ya better squash that
Man that bullshit, uh, come and hit you with the bat
Wanna split you with the gat
Then gon’ dig you with the plaque
Betta hittem with the bounce, ‘fore they get you in the back, uh
We got the world steppin', too many tragedies (too many, too many)
We fighting back cuz they killing our black people
And we need unity
Raise your voices high
I am somebody
And I really wanna be somebody
Even if you was my enemy
You gonna see eventually
No more hate and discrimination... Oh why?
(We ain’t got no time for that... 1, 2, 3, c’mon!)
We got the boost, uh (boost, boost!)
We got the juice
Leave a lil' drip on you
We got the lean (lean)
We got the ‘la (la)
Shake a lil somethin’ and slide
Jump on the Wave
