Police Brutality

Anger amongst my people From all the police brutality Resulting in so many young Mens fatality Our hands are up Don't shoot Don't stomp us out With your boots We face down on the ground Don't Use your billy club to pound Police shoots and kills Then gets off for it This can't be real Don't use unjust violence on me I'm a citizen We as a race should have known better then Don't shoot I'm going for my identification Such a racist nation If police started killing off Caucasians Then it would be a situation Don't shoot I have a kid in the car Pow pow pow Now you went to far How many shots does it take To subdue a man 2, 6, 20 Explain officers so we can understand This is our justice system Systematically killing blacks How are we to commemorate When we under attack Bias and unjust In America we don't trust Police brutality What's your rationality Repression and criminalization Of an entire generation Racial disparities Giving us welfare and calling it charity Our ancestors built this place Yet a white officer is present in every black mans murder case Stop don't shoot My hands are held high Pow pow pow Another nigga dies tonight
