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,âŠselecting all the the facts and
Watch him now distort like a crooked contortionist, forcinâ him to
Fear the darkest skin, make lawyers believe heâs fortunate âcause
In America, theyâll 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
Iâm losing patience, my aggravation takes the place of waitinâ
Blink too hard, and feel the scars, I think I see the bars disgracing
Even Nancy Grace can see the animation, panic-facing, canât
Replace the face in the crowd amongst the damaged racists
How can you relate to me if all you do make assumptions?
â 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, Iâve been harassed, but luckily no pavement, facinâ grass, my
Friends got stuck with bruises, beaten legally behind a badge
â 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 knifeâs after you âcause Iâm Black times Blacker, simply my
Black mindâs faster than lying facts Whites capture, I canât
Relax, my chapter defines why I rhyme rapture, until your
Blind signs factor in times till like-minds shatter
- Like glass, âoh noâ, itâs fragile
Would you shoot him again? âIf I had toâ
[Hook]
Do you see the difference? âSurreeâ What Iâm talkinâ about? âWhaaat?â
Do you hear the words that cominâ out my mouth? âNooooâ
See the disconnect âSoooâ Thatâs the disrespect âAnnndddâ
Well then please let The Zodiac interject
Firehoses, military units and the pepper gasses
Rubber bullets, taser guns, and boots for steppinâ on our asses
Prosecutors, judges, and the mayor all will sign petitions
Making sure that every cop who brutalizes you with stitchesâŠWALKSSSSS
How many can you name on your hands thatâs murdered by the
Police, the same people in uniform shootinâ first before they say
âFreezeâ, executing your babies, raisinâ them from âmaybesâ to
Gentlemen and ladies, cradles to gravy, swipinâ memories, from
Crawling to walkinâ to enlistinâ in Armies and Navies
Graduating with honors, got an office job up in Macyâs, simply
Earninâ a living, proud of achievements, all against the odds
A two-story with a garage, youâre 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 heâs a man beyond his
Chromosomes, his badge and Motorola phone, surveillance vans and
Everything intimidating waiting for the moment, saving
Grace and tossinâ hand grenades and shootinâ through floors into the
Basement - And when the smoke arises, your child is laying motionless
Wrong house, sorry about that, but youâll 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? Iâm never believing weâll be on the come-up? Cause
Iâm frustrated, sick of the ways that Iâm 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, Iâm sick of you pullinâ the straw man, you better drink a
Tall can of âKiss my Black assâ, Iâm not involved in
A robbery, a carjackinâ, and I donât look like one who
Fit the description, weâll be here all night
Youâve put your hand on the Bible and lied, you think itâs survival
He died, you left him in the street until the coronerâs arrival
Evil doers believing in taking lives, the same evil
Humans in uniforms, screwinâ the system, we know who you despise
Ferguson, Missouri, he murdered him and the jury deserted
Them, feel the fury, weâll curse them, do you support me?
Reversing the category, you burned me, the end of storyâŠ..
Not even closeâŠ
