about

This song was first written on January 6, 2021 as a humorous yet conscious take on how differently "protestors" are/were treated in the US, based on skin color and issues being protested. The insurrection was handled considerably different from BLM peaceful protests by police, military, politicians, and the media.
Music put together with Nicholas Tanner "Nick Sedita" (also on guitar), Tzur Ben Israel (Darryl Washington) on keys, Chad Fouquier on Bass, and Gino Vallecio on Drums--Recorded at Maison Fou

lyrics

“January 6th, 2021…I know ya’ll saw how I saw
People throwing temper tantrums …at the capitol building? Chile please, hold up”

{Chorus 1}
If that was a nigga
If that was a nigga
If that was a nigga
If that was a nigga
DC WOULD BE ON FIRE
DC WOULD BE ON FIRE
DC WOULD BE ON FIRE


{Verse 1}
But It wasn’t us
So they got to bust everything up (everything up)
Stealing things (Stealing things), walking out (walking out)
(Walk it out, walk it out)
Nobody snuck in they mouth
Escorted down the steps
Treated kindly with respect
It wouldn’tna gone down like that no no
It wouldn’tna gone down like that

{Chorus 2 }
Cuz that was some niggas
If that was some nighas
If that was some nighas
If that was some nighas
DC WOULD BE ON FIRE
DC WOULD BE ON FIRE
DC WOULD BE ON FIRE

{Verse 2}
Tanks pulling up
Bullets raining down (rain down on me)
Tanks pulling up
Bullets raining down (rain down on me)
Tear gas Riot gear
Anything to instill fear
Choppa choppa sing
Got the helicopter bring that swat team

{Chorus 3}
Cuz we was some niggas
Yes we was some niggas
Yes we was some niggas
Yes we was some niggas
DC WOULD BE ON FIRE
DC WOULD BE ON FIRE
DC WOULD BE ON FIRE
(yeah yeah yeah)

{Verse 3}
We saw how it was for the Black Lives Matter protest
Coming down hard with utmost disrespect
Pushing old folk pushing kids
Somehow our humanity too easy to forget
Ooh

{Chorus 4 Final}
Cuz we was some niggas
Yes we was some niggas
Yes we was some niggas
Yes we was some niggas
THEY SET THE TOWN ON FIRE
THEY SET THE TOWN ON FIRE
THEY SET THE TOWN ON FIRE
Fire, FIRE
