Floyd
I wanted to say something, typed it out // But couldn't myself to post cause' what am I about? // If the words have no actions, this is massive // What's with the blind allegiance? Maliciousness from badges // Should be adequately punished this is why Kaepernick took a knee // Police brutality, people casually act like we // Don't have a problem or you hate the military // Just cause' you call it out when the state kills a civilian. Very // Suspicious. Have you considered the premise? // Of the nation’s anthem? It's decent against the British // Rebellion is the cornerstone this nation was founded on // But when it's done by people black and brown it gets frowned upon // Hypocrisy. We've exhausted philosophy // If people are at odds with cops it's in hopes that laws will be // More representative of the citizens as a whole // Who were the Minutemen? Is this different? Who has control? // What's Cointelpro? Where is Fred Hampton? // Was the CIA connected to the 1980's cocaine expansion? // If you know the answers don't be quiet // Understand, the last thing I hope to sees a riot // But I'm at a loss for words and if you've ever read the second // You'll know it's to protect from threats foreign or domestic //
Police have a hard fucking job // They selflessly place themselves in harms way to stop // Violent crimes. Their sacrifice is noble // If you add the good and bad, I wouldn’t be surprised if the total // Was more towards what’s right. They want to serve their community // But a badge doesn't deserve impunity // Murders should be treated as such, if you violate the code? // Then you go to jail. This is why you take the oath // Fuck! You’re supposed to be a superhero! // Better than good. If you don’t do this then you lose the beuro's // Blessing. Derek Chavin is not a cop but a criminal // Who deserves a murder sentence, minimal // He betrayed the public’s trust. What happened was wrong // Frankly fuck the fact I even have to rap this song // Plus, isn’t a tenant of conservatism // Limited government? To unconditionally serve the system // is ironic. Jesus was killed by the state // His crucifixion was legal, it’s time to take // Fate into our hands. Mold a more inclusive union // So maybe what you could do in conclusion // is listen. What do you believe? // How’d you feel when George Floyd said he couldn’t breathe // It’s destruction of property vs. destruction of people // If you’re more bothered by the loss of a target than you are evil // We disagree // I don’t think you have to think it’s right to see // This pain’s origin. The ethics of their fire // Is not the question. The effect of what transpired // Is not the cause, and that’s what we should focus on // that’s why I wrote this song // Think bigger than the symptom // What’s the original illness that exists within the system?
