Lyrics:
You shoulda been downtown, the people are rising
We thought it was a lock down, they opened up fire
Dem bullets was flying
They said it was a lockdown, got damn lie
Oh my! Time heals all, but you outta time now
Judge gotta watch us from the clock tower
Little tear gas cleared the whole place out
I’ll be back with the hazmat for the next round
We was tryna protest and the fires broke out
Lookout for the secret agents they be planted in the crowd
Said it’s civil unrest
But you sleep so sound
like you don’t hear the screams when we catchin beat downs
Stayin quiet when they killin niggas
But you speak loud when we riot
got opinions comin from a place of privilege
Sicker than the covid how they did him on the ground
Speaking of the covid is it still goin around?
Oh why don’t you tell me bout the lootin what’s that really all about?
Cause they throw away black lives like paper towels
Plus unemployment rate what? 40 million now
Killed a man in broad day, might never see a trial
We just wana break chains like slaves in the south
Started in the north end but we ended downtown
Riot cops tried to block, now we got a showdown... down
You shoulda been downtown, the people are rising
We thought it was a lock down, they opened up fire
Dem bullets was flying
Who said it was a lockdown, got damn lie
(Ooh wee)
Lockdown we ain’t gotta stop cause they tell us to
Downtown where I got popped with the rubber bullet
Tre pound, Got it in my name now
Imma shoot it
Never understand why they do it
someone cut the channel off the news ‘fore I lose it
I ain’t even trippin if you wit it, then we lootin
Help put this Louis in the back of Suzuki
He had to break down so smoothly
Ain’t gone say it’s not about race but we movin hoe, pow!
Got the tre pound, had to put it in my name now
Wish a nigga play now
Any given day I’ll be headed to the pulpit
Say a little prayer, matter fact I need two of em
Ooh won’t he do it, won’t he do it
Ooh this ain’t 92 so we into new rules
Niggas got hip, so we don’t loot the projects
Bout to hit rodeo with my little cousin Marcus
Some one threw a whole brick into Neumann Marcus
Help me put the whole mannequin in the charger
You shoulda been downtown(down), the people are rising(look around)
We thought it was a lock down(lockdown), they opened up fire (had to get low)
Dem bullets was flying(down, down)
Who said it was a lockdown, got damn lie
(Ooh wee)Lockdown we ain’t gotta stop cause they tell us to
Downtown where I got popped with the rubber bullet
Tre pound, Got it in my name now
Imma shoot it
Lockdown we ain’t gotta stop cause they tell us to
Downtown

Only he can make such a serious topic this groovy
you should listen to freeze tag by terrace martin and a few others. just another soulful song about the protests and racial injustice
I agree 1000%! This song has been on repeat since I heard it. It is an infectious groove.
I think serious topics actually cause a lot of groovy msuic. NWA, Tupac, Credence Clearwater actually all Vietnam protest music. The revolution will not be televised.

listen to Gil Scott Heron
locked af on the drums and still be singing at the same time, what a GOAT.
He’s a musical genius fr
I keep seeing this same comment from different people about him singing and playing drums at the same time. I don’t know if it’s just non-musicians saying it. Drums are the easiest instrument to play and sing at the same time and really any percussive instrument like the piano too. You sing your lines and bars starting on a hit. Bass guitar is by far the hardest to sing and play, not that blink 182 style bass, but real bass and lead guitar. This is coming from a guy who toured for 5 years, played for 23 years and main instruments are bass and guitar. By saying that I’m not downplaying Anderson paak’s talent at all because he’s a badass.
@@matthiasnickerson i can think of a few instruments that are harder to sing and play with.. Trumpet for example
@@matthiasnickerson I love this type of comments man, I love music but I'm so ignorant so I don't know what is though or easy I just know they sound good as hell. Appreciate it
matthias nickerson Whew bro! I was actually worried singing and playing drums would be nearly impossible. This definitely has reassured me. Thank you for the information!
Many folks don’t realize the skill needed to play the drums and sing on queue
Right!! Thats why I love watching his Tiny Desk, true musician
True
Paak makes it look easy
True!!!!!!!
No doubt.
mac miller on the picture in the background, RIP him man. What a good soul.
i think exactly the same bro .... im gonna cry ....... :(
I just saw that... what a beautiful picture ❤️ 😭
an angel looking over his loved ones🥺:((((
💗 💖 💘 💝 💟
This is in his living room
The man is a musical genius. Extraordinary talent. Looks like some Free Nationals helping him out here. Respect to ALL.
E H S
I know im late with this but the Free Nationals were his band almost since the beginning.
You definitely ain't lyin'. He makes up for all of the terrible, and I mean terrible, attacks on my ears ever since the Great War of 2006, lol, when Soldier Boy came out with that wildly famous Superman hoe soaking bull shit. The decline of all humanity has ensued quickly ever since. Paak is a beacon of musical light within the mainstream darkness.
Ditto ! I call him the Baddest man on the planet!!!
@@keithr.hammonds6653 Yes, and I don't know who I can even compare him to.
Prince to me is probably the closest, despite the obvious difference in era. But it's something about Anderson, ...his finger is on the pulse in the streets in a certain way... good for us!
“Time heals all but you outta time now.”
What are the odds I see you here lol
holy crap you listen to Anderson paak too? Bro I ran into another subscriber like a couple of months ago😂😂
@@lowtyde2341 love me some anderson paak! Never know where I might run into you guys lol
@@lowtyde2341 I'm a subscriber too! My favorite video by you has to be "This channel has no videos."
Alex Hyams I’m the subscriber, I watch his channel smart guy.
One of the best and most important songs this year.
Have you checked out pig's feet?
The level of toughness it takes to do this is crazy . Coming from a drummer myself , this is a different level to be able to sing , rap and play this good at the same time ! He is a pure legend !!
I was actually thinking the same as a clinician - he’s got an amazing brain to be able to multitask all of that so beautifully 🧠👌🏼
I can't be the only one who feels this is the best version of this song...6 months later and I still kept coming for it
This guy is so fantastically talented. I finally found a reason to listen to someone in this day and age other than 90s hip hop soul and funk.
Give Kendrick a listen if you want to see where conscious rap has come
I think he's the next generation's Stevie Wonder. So talented
Anderson,Paak so amazing article and free Natural to,
I'm his age... and seeing him and mac in the back, while he raps...I'm amazed.
I can still be something
Go for your goals! You can do it! Never too late! Keep God 1st, and you won't go wrong! Blessings!
If you here right now.. You have good taste in music legend. 😎🔥
I like the pianists moves during the solo. feeling that jawn lol
Philly Jersey tristate brethren
Yes so true , beautiful moves of the pianist , relaxed and
, soulfull
Vicky Nguyen she’s done some producing and vocals for him
Ending part of the Piano feel so jazzy with his drum beat.....super cool😎 & smooth
*3-28-21*
*Listening while cooking* , I almost forgot about the hunger, after sitting down, and reflecting on my blessings. *Thank you Mr. .Paak*
Every time I get shocked how good he is live
i cant explain my joy for this song
I’m so glad I was a fan of him before his FINE collab with Bruno. YES LAWD!!!
just found this - almost a full year after it was released. Thanks Bruno Mars for helping alleviate such a talented group of musicians into the zeitgeist. The grooves are literally needed at this juncture in our times. I listen to older music when I am in need of comfort - the production is all instruments and tried-and-trued production values/techniques that always make the music sound timeless.
This warmed my heart, because I also listen to older music for comfort during these times, and have been so grateful to hear this stellar artist, who seems to be some kind of prater-natural multi-talented groove doctor. lol.
I have a prescription for you, and it is to listen to Maze-When I'm alone and Golden Time of Day, Bill Withers-Same Love That Made Me Laugh, and Don Blackman-Heart's Desire. Then come back after the prescription has been filled, and let me know if it was musically comforting enough for you,... or if you need another prescription. Have a good day 🙂
I’ll tell ya one thing that’s locked down. That groove.
My man cannot disappoint. His band is fire, his lyrics meaningful. A true group of creative individuals. YESS LAWWD!
He’s such a good person. I love him
It’s good to see an artist like him use his platform to speak on the injustices black folks face every day, every generation, and breath we breathe and to represent...US. Thank you Anderson for this. Blessings 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Killing every single live version!!! It’s sickening how talented this man is. 🥰
Iconic picture of him and Mac on the wall
How is that ironic?
Eric Woodard it says “Iconic”😂
Sauce McAdams kewl
its crazy, Mac touched so many people. It just goes to show, 2 years after his passing and Anderson Paak is showing mad love with that picture. RIP Mac and also props to Anderson Paak, both are awesome musicians.
Beautiful song ✊🏼✊🏿
Wow .Paak has ascended.
For the first couple minutes I was like damn that guitarist looks like mac.... then I start letting my eyes wander around the room and i first notice the floyd jersey then the pianist vibing out then I see mac in the pic and get happy and sad at the same time....its crazy how deep into your soul you can allow another human being you've never even met in person before....rip mac...
I cannot stop listening to this song it’s Jazzy sweet and peaceful I love his voice ...
This Bro is a Star....
Best live performance on the late night show honestly!!
The great artist of this generation by far.
So why am I just discovering this Guy🤦🏿♀️ all because of The movie spies in disguise playing while I slept🤣 I woke up like who is that and now we're here🤷🏿♀️ #InstantFan
The transition on 1:09 just perfect 😭😭😭
Pure professional. Knowing that digital cymbals and hi hats are garbáge.
Clap clap
They acoustic. Snare other drums are digital
@@friendlyghostkinda exactly
@@friendlyghostkinda That's what he meant
They need to make this song an anthem.
Guy is just guud as get out!!
The love and soul in this is just the best.
Anderson .Paak is such a legend. Best song to come out about this year.
hearing those 2 beat at the start will never be the same again
Mac and Him in that photo yes!!!!!

Makes me wanna protest in a sexy mood
Anderson .Paak (quartet) the smooth jazz version and it's still funky as all get out!
The song just started and I was already like😍😝❤️❤️❤️
Anderson makes my soul 😊 Yes Lawd!!!!
so smooth, super natural... raw talent.
That snare sample is too good
Funkiest groove ever .... woooo #anderson.paak 🔥
This song will serve as a perpetual commentary on such a significant , fascinating, infuriating and tragic time we will ever live through . Paak. Is so so underrated 👏🏿
I vote this "Best Comment" 👍👌👏
SUBIE Gal much love aha 🙏🏿
@@Grim19931803 ❤️
So groovy I feel it in my bones fr
The pic of Paak and Mac is beautiful. RIP
There are singers, there r rapper, there r instrumentalists, there are musicians and there is one Anderson Paak, only one. Effortless Legend
Amazing song . . . absolutely incredible
I gotta say, the middle verse on the recorded version is my favourite verse. So personal and real.
I love his group the Free Nationals, one of the most underrated groups
Pure Smoke right here. RIP Mack Miller!!!
SO DAMN HAPPY I SAW HIM LIVE. EQUALLY HAPPY HE CONTINUES PUTTING THESE LIVE VIDS ON HIS CHANNEL. A young legend and they all killed it
What a voice. Respect to Dre! good choice
Man he is so so good. I been sleeping on him until now. I heard him on the collab with flying lotus and here I am
Anderson is in daily rotation round here!! #VeryDope
Wow, just wow, this live performance is just....mesmerizing
I love you sir Legendary Anderson .paak!!
best voice.
Recognize greatness. 💪🏾
R.I.P George Floyd and the beloved Mac Miller smiling in the back. 🙏🏾😫🌹
Their legacies are being taken care of still!
George Floyd shouldn’t have died but he was also no hero. He put a gun to a pregnant lady’s stomach and robbed her. That’s no hero
Probably the wrong way to get there, but gf can still rot wherever he ended up
Lol what legacy, don't be funny
Sex McAdams racist. All I see is black people trying to get immunity and free shit out of it. The dude couldn’t handle himself and he was 5 mins from driving away all fucked up and risking the lives of everyone around him. Ever consider that?
He didn’t deserve to die like that but I don’t know why it always has to be a color issue but ONLY when it’s a white cop and black male. He couldn’t breathe well before the cops added force to the equation.

VICKY ON PIANO 😍😍😍
Pure, concentrated TALENT. It's crazy.
Look at em' sing and drum so smooth, multitasking like a BOSS... one of the last true artists of our generation! Don't leave us!!!
He went off on this. He’s so underated
If there's something called eternal peace, that's right here. Peace and love!
I dozed off before Paak came on and I woke up and heard him grooving!! I have had this on repeat since I caught this performance the other night. THIS IS A GROOVE!
Shout out to Mac Miller. Rest easy brothers.
@Dess Milli hell look at the picture ABOVE the guitar player that's Mac in the picture
@Dess Milli For some moments I really believed that was mac and secretly lived with paak ;( miss mac so much
Yesterday on my way to work I was listening the original version...also this one s fire
Anderson is one of the kind. Both techniques and grooves are remarkable. In various way as a drummer, a singer, and a composer, so amazing. Looks Mac Miller and Anderson were, and are, definitely trustworty friends each other throughout sharing music creation. Thank God, we can listen to their music.
This guy is SO talented, it's not even fair! Anderson, you da man! Greetings from Aruba.
Power to you and your people 🖖🏾🤚🏾
This was amazing and powerful all at the same time!!!
Just when I thought it couldn't get any better
This feels like when I first found de la sol and tribe called quest and more to follow. You have a jazzier vibe and genius instrumentation so of course. I'm feeling so happy all over again like in what 1989? 90?
Anderson Paak is so good for me.....he gets me. I get him. So thankful that I found him. Amazing lyricist. My love came for him late. But has been everlasting since
This music smooth af 👌
My brother Anderson "Tu" Paak, this one for the books ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾!!!!
Wtf. Tu paak......o hell no.....you bugging. Dude.....stop oke stop
I’ve seen A.Paak twice, was supposed to him live at Glastonbury 2020. PLEASE PLAY NEXT YEAR Andy, true artist x
Anderson is such an artist. Unbelievable.
If i were ever asked to describe Anderson Paak's music with one word, that word would be FINESSE.
Amazing how authentic that digital portion of the drums sounded. I'm literally blown away. Wish I knew what unit that is?
Such a talented one! Really awesome! :)
Man is so talented
This is seriously - good. Thank you for giving it to us.
she vibin on that piano
.PAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKKKKK!!!! Sei il migliore per me! Son così affezionato a te e alle tue canzoni!! Ciao amico mio! From ITALYYYYYY
