Eric Gardner killed for selling smokes
While these white boys killing and making jokes
Not only in a literal sense but of the justice system we live in
They think it's no way people like us can win
That's tough to swallow because we grew up loving Poetic Justice
It's hard because the media puts us in light that makes it easy to distrust us
What's going on now is Slavery by a different name
Keeping my people oppressed like its some kind of game
RIP Freddy Grey Baltimore will never be the same
I look on in shame while Trump for President is becoming a reality
I live worried the ones I love will become a casualty
KKK coming back y'all
It's like Jim Crow never died at all
We on that Apartheid I wish that King was still here
*** the police they only spread pain and fear
I don't speak fear of them but for our future or lack there of
I want my people to be free like a dove
Out of the chains that brought us here hundreds of years ago
It was the greed giving even the poorest whites power and ego
The Kings and Queens of wonder bread land got rich off our labor
Spent our years calling out for a savior
So out came the Blacks Panthers to bring blacks together coast to coast *** the boys in blue
The motto protect and serve will never be true
They kill my people and never shed a tear
Because of our color they believe streets always have something to fear
So this motto protect and serve will never apply to you
We going to do die regardless that much is true too
So why not say whatever it is that matters?
And use our words to tear the fabric of ignorance and oppression into tatters
The pen has more power than the sword
MLK told me peaceful protest had its reward
they killed you but your words will never die
Let them tie their noose it's like V said your ideas are bulletproof !
It's hard watching these days go by
No matter how hard I try, my heart hurts and it's aching
Every time I watch the news it's insane
Black teens killed, black on black violence, child molestation, hate crimes and a race war that's looming we cannot escape the pain
We tried to get these people to hear us only in vain
Black lives matter about as much as Urkyle did to Carl on Family Matters
Nobody looking out for us *** the justice system
They just create a race of victims
Its a Neo Jim Crow
We see on video blacks getting killed and whites look the other way like nobody know
Y'all yell *** the police !No justice no peace !
Y'all scream that while cops load they piece
Provoking the protest despite the pleas
I knew then that the only way to make peace is to prepare for war
Kennedy said if peaceful revolution is made impossible then violent revolution becomes inevitable
Words that speak the truth but to cops are unintelligible
The days of peaceful demonstration are past
The next move on my people very well maybe your last
I realize they want us to riot and destroy our community
To base our culture on violence to disrupt our unity
We must break the cycle at the first opportunity
Or these cops will kill us punitively
I wish my words were legible to all races and to every nation
American cops killing us then taking vacations!
Lawmakers don't care because we below their station
It's no justice because it's just us !
12% of the population whose grandparents rode the back of the bus !!
Second class citizens in a first world country considered to be the land of the free
But how can that be said when my people were brought here In chains and were hanging from trees
It is said those who don't know history are doomed to repeat it
I suggest y'all ***ers get to reading
Y'all got people in your street dying and bleeding
I've never been a believer
People don't change and this Nation won't either
52 years after segregation ended we still can't take a breather
I watch my friend walk out the door praying this not the last time I see her
It's a hard knock life and it can end in a blur
