Intro
Seems like there’s a lot of killin goin on lately. The problem, as I see it, is, a lack of respect for the human life. For any life, for that matter. And, it’s all sanctioned by the people at the top
Hook:
(But) These cops won't stop they just hit another city
They left a trail of blood- crime scene ain't pretty
It's shitty how they're acting but the problem is bigger
It's bout the people way above the ones who’s pullin the trigger x2
Verse 1:
This latest Minnesota shit has got me enraged
The pigs who did the deed need to get put in a cage
You see it on TV they're letting killers go loose
Descendants of the Klan, man they used to use a noose
Now it's 40 cal Glocks got that shit on lock
And loaded up for war they been killin round the clock
Use the heels of their boots and they strangle brothers too
If you can't see this simple pattern you should go back to school
But the blame ain't on the cops got to look at their environment
Az clean up the air but they breathe in toxic climates
I'm rhyming it but meaning it, feel voiceless no say
When these justices be telling them this shit is okay
Country's coming to a turning point, don't know which way we’re going
Might destroy to rebuild if there's no hope of us growing
Might get mad like malcolm x or might be peaceful like king
I say we do the right thing and see the love that it brings
Hook x2
Verse 2:
For half a century Sam's been Waging a War
He say it's on drugs but I sense it's on more
Taking freethinkers out killing non-conformists
Be locking up hundreds using stings like hornets
I be warning you informing you we're storming the capital
Facing the future were jumping into the rabbit hole
Peacefully protest and expect to get shot
Because the cops are getting hard when their barrels getting hot
I'm not blaming them we're training them to act without thinking
Got em working long hours at the station then they're drinking
Just as soon as they get off so they got no time to contemplate
Their morals or the system that we're in and that we operate
I hate the way our day-to-day is staying the same
The blame is shared between us all complacently insane
But I'm trying to change the game not for fame for love
It starts with individuals then rises above
Hook x2
Outro
This jams for Philandro Castile, Bettie Jones, Kevin Matthews, Delrawn Small!
Michael Lee Marshall, Eric Garner, Trayvon, James Greer, Tyree Crawford, the list goes on
The idea that our nation is currently a place that provides “ liberty and justice for all” is the greatest illusion ever perpetrated upon the American people. You really wanna be free? Forget about yourself, and start caring about some more important shit. Spend all your time on yourself, and you get lost in everybody else
