How can you kick a man who's been shot through the heart?
Stand on his dying body until the final breath departs?
What kind of demon child could think of something like that?
Only a so-called Peace Officer that will shoot you in the back.
We are in shock and awe from the images we have seen.
But, that has been the law for people looking like me.
How can you kick a man when he's probably already dead?
That's the question I can't seem to get right in my head.
From my perspective, I see an undeniable internal disease.
Along with COVID-19, we have some real grimy police.
No one should endure that when taking their dying breath.
Especially, when accolades are given for another "Black Man's" death.

Hard Case
Brubaker was a real big fat fecker
He lived by the jail and hunted escaped cons
Using three Bloodhouds and his wits
He carried a shotgun loaded for cons
With rock salt to maim but not kill
Brubaker was a hard case
Being an ex con from the same jail
He was offered a job for his skills
Help us catch fleeing jailbirds
And we won't lock you up
Call yourself a semi-peace officer
Halfway between good and bad
A job needs doing and its yours
Searching the fields woods and rivers
For smart or not too smart cons
None have escaped or beaten you yet
Coz once you were one of them...
