The Voice of the Slain Black Man

Thank you, Mr Officer for showing me The devil is alive an real Your cruelty is what makes A Black man constantly bleed It doesn't matter if I am raped Or I cant breathe Your errors are classified as third degree You are praised for making A Black man bleed This law is unjust and so unreal 'Jesus please', This Spirit have me on my dying knees While chanting satan make this Black man bleed On the floor he whispers You want some more While my blood is poured Mr Officer, I can't breathe I would appreciate if you release me, ' PLEASE' Lift your knees and give me ease So I can live To say, Jesus Forgive Him 'Please'.
