lyrics

i’m disgusted by your hate, but you want us to be quiet. you’re fucking killers in the streets, but you do it under the guise of keeping us safe. there’s no checks and balances. we don’t even vote them in, the first time we meet them is when they murder our friends. their political agenda does not match those of the communities they serve. they don’t give a fuck how you feel, they just want power. whatever they deem important, they deem appropriate use of force, they pursue it and they do it, even death for a counterfeit twenty dollar bill. 8:46 ‘i can’t breathe’. a grown man screaming for his dead mother. ‘i can’t breathe’. impunity after you pull the trigger. judge, jury, and executioner. just because you fear for your life doesn’t mean they deserve to die by your hand. you try keeping us scared. you try leading us with fear. but we won’t have it, no we won’t have it. we’re not afraid of the dark anymore. regardless of how we act, you continue to oppress. so why should we sit back and take it? maybe its your time to meet your maker. when you see a dead horse you beat it. you kick it while its down, but now we’re taking off your crown. chaos in the streets is what we need just to get you to even gaze in our direction. you’re not expected to understand our point of view just off the news. we’re sick and we’re tired of explaining ourselves to you, just for you to not listen. we’ll say it louder so that you can’t miss it. justice, without it there will be not peace, abolish the racist police. we fight, over 20 million strong, for their lives, over 1,000 killed every year. this has got to stop.
