Justice For Stephon Clark

Oh god here we go again 
Waking up to another Breaking News on
CNN I turn my volume up 
A little above ten when I hear 
Two police officers in Sacramento killed 
Another black man… My heart shattered 
When is this going to end because 
This system is taking all of our innocent black men 
Only 22 and the opps took his life 
really before it got to begin 
And what’s worse is that he had 2 kids 
Now they’ll wake up and never see their father again.
Things like this happen and y’all 
Expect us to put our glocks, pistols and rifles away
When we watch y’all take innocent lives and hide 
And cover up y’all lies all day 
When we have to sit and burry one of our loved ones wheel out the casket and the Bible and 
Pray all day just so that y’all can go home with y’all hands clean and not a scratch on y’all face.
You take our lives because
Y’all clearly don’t have one of your own
And y’all hide behind these badges because it’s 
The only time y’all feel strong 
And by being behind it yall know y’all can do 
Wrong but still get to live
Your life and go home.
Why did you do it was it all for fun?
Because you knew he was black
And thought he had a gun?
Or because you knew y’all get away with it
And his name would just be added 
To the list on the charts with the other brothers 
Who y’all done killed this far 
I’ve spoken enough but one more thing
