[Verse 1]
Brittle baby
No ill intent for the little ladies
Walking past his property
Asking him where some flowers may be
Searching for maypops
In the state of the gamecocks
He muttered I'm afraid not
Mary and Betty made off
It didn't take long
For them to be found in a ditch
Hounds and hicks surrounded grounds
And found them both pounded by stick
Oh how is this?
They said it must've been the little negro
He seen 'em last let's kill his ass
Their families need a hero
Which means we need a villain
He'd be the perfect De Niro
Their families need some answers
We can't just leave them with zero
No reports were made
His trial just lasted a day
No defense was laid
Cause they had nothing to gain from the case
The only evidence was an officers claim
That he came forward with the truth
That he's a youth who just battered their face
Embattled he's shackled a babe
Be rattled no matter your age
The cattle who carries their purse
And spends his last days in a cage
His family had to flee
So they couldn't be there
A white court sold him out like he's retail
The electric chair was too big
Cause he was young and skinny
The mask and restraints
Both slipped off of little George Stinney

[Chorus]
The light devil gets his name on a shirt
The dark angel lives in danger then a grave in the dirt
They're both famous for the way their situations at work
One's dead one's alive tell me what is it worth
All light ain't devils, all dark ain't angels
Being light gets paid, being dark gets fatal
The system made dark skin synonymous with criminality
Cops'll pop your dark ass, no questions

[Verse 2]
He was only 12 years old
Openly toting a bb gun
Potential threat, okay
No one open to see he's none
The caller said the gun he held
Was more than likely fake
She said he was a juvenile
The dispatch missed it by mistake
Supposedly
How you not competent when you supposed to be
How you not tell the cops
All this info when they approached the scene
Regardless
The cops shouldn't of shot without a warning
Ain't they supposed to tell you
To drop the gun before unloading?
Ain't they supposed to respect the fact
You got a family too?
They understand this hurts
Relations with the boys in blue
Yet they'll roll up on a youth
And off him right in front of you
Describe him as a man
Not do a damn to try to save the dude
That's exactly what happened they got to clappin'
Frank Garmback and Timothy Loehmann no question asking
The cop criminal faction is now relaxing
Laughing at the fact internal affairs is no question asking
Cleveland hired Timothy Loehmann
When no one else would
Independence fired him
Poor performance was no good
Frank Garmback cost the city
Of Cleveland a hundred k
His use of force excessive
Franky didn't know how to play

[Chorus]
