Zodiac
Do You See The Difference
How do I direct this anger? Conflicting testimonies, find the
Text on how a stranger predicts a ceremony
Dressed in all the blackest from the heart to suits upon our backs it
How police conduct a lesson,…selecting all the the facts and
Watch him now distort like a crooked contortionist, forcin’ him to
Fear the darkest skin, make lawyers believe he’s fortunate ‘cause
In America, they’ll believe the quickest lie, but the truth is too
Distant for believers and hard to find, cause you
Have the living hero, the deceased is vilified, and if you
Analyze the horns and triple sixes, cops are in his eyes
I’m losing patience, my aggravation takes the place of waitin’
Blink too hard, and feel the scars, I think I see the bars disgracing
Even Nancy Grace can see the animation, panic-facing, can’t
Replace the face in the crowd amongst the damaged racists
How can you relate to me if all you do make assumptions?
— You hate to face the mirror, chase and hear the raging from it
Brutal slayings many are raising their children confused and hating
Anything they refuse to speak, confront, or conversations
Yeah, I’ve been harassed, but luckily no pavement, facin’ grass, my
Friends got stuck with bruises, beaten legally behind a badge
— Police informants informing on uniformed cohorts and
Storm the courts in force enforcing the laws ignoring the poor
In their favor to treat them above the citizens they hate to
Protect or respect, they detect a weakness, exploit - engage them?
Do Black lives matter? Do Black lives matter? The DNA
On average billie clubs shows that Black lives splatters, maybe my
Black knife’s after you ‘cause I’m Black times Blacker, simply my
Black mind’s faster than lying facts Whites capture, I can’t
Relax, my chapter defines why I rhyme rapture, until your
Blind signs factor in times till like-minds shatter
- Like glass, “oh no”, it’s fragile
Would you shoot him again? “If I had to”
[Hook]
Do you see the difference? “Surree” What I’m talkin’ about? “Whaaat?”
Do you hear the words that comin’ out my mouth? “Noooo”
See the disconnect “Sooo” That’s the disrespect “Annnddd”
Well then please let The Zodiac interject
Firehoses, military units and the pepper gasses
Rubber bullets, taser guns, and boots for steppin’ on our asses
Prosecutors, judges, and the mayor all will sign petitions
Making sure that every cop who brutalizes you with stitches…WALKSSSSS

How many can you name on your hands that’s murdered by the
Police, the same people in uniform shootin’ first before they say
“Freeze”, executing your babies, raisin’ them from “maybes” to
Gentlemen and ladies, cradles to gravy, swipin’ memories, from
Crawling to walkin’ to enlistin’ in Armies and Navies
Graduating with honors, got an office job up in Macy’s, simply
Earnin’ a living, proud of achievements, all against the odds
A two-story with a garage, you’re thanking God for leading them through
Struggles and troubles and arising from ashes until
The night the Devil in Blue decides on harassment, the only
Reason is because he can, believing he’s a man beyond his
Chromosomes, his badge and Motorola phone, surveillance vans and
Everything intimidating waiting for the moment, saving
Grace and tossin’ hand grenades and shootin’ through floors into the
Basement - And when the smoke arises, your child is laying motionless
Wrong house, sorry about that, but you’ll get over it, riiight?
[Hook]

Why do you expect for me to shut the fuck up? Why do you think the
World coming apart at the seams? I’m never believing we’ll be on the come-up? Cause
I’m frustrated, sick of the ways that I’m discredited, degraded, hated, you savor the
Slaves you raided and favor the owners, supposed be waiting for you to come and arraign me? Nah man, I’m sick of you pullin’ the straw man, you better drink a
Tall can of “Kiss my Black ass”, I’m not involved in
A robbery, a carjackin’, and I don’t look like one who
Fit the description, we’ll be here all night
You’ve put your hand on the Bible and lied, you think it’s survival
He died, you left him in the street until the coroner’s arrival
Evil doers believing in taking lives, the same evil
Humans in uniforms, screwin’ the system, we know who you despise
Ferguson, Missouri, he murdered him and the jury deserted
Them, feel the fury, we’ll curse them, do you support me?
Reversing the category, you burned me, the end of story…..
Not even close…
