They can camouflage
Their big long gun
While aiming for our leader
But we don’t have one
So they can undo
The movement we’ve begun
What they’re witnessing
Is completely homespun

They’ve killed past leaders
Like Malcolm and King
But who they gonna target now
Has them questioning
******* an idea
Whose time has come
They certainly can’t do it
With a big long gun

Now some of you may be
Too young to know
About a government operation
Known as Cointelpro
That infiltrated organizations
From not that long ago
That sought to liberate us
For sho’ for sho’

So what happened to the revolution?
That they tried to dampen
Through the murders of our heroes
Like Chicago’s Fred Hamptom
As we’ve seen our blood
Continued to slatter
But our lives aren’t cheap
CUZ BLACK LIVES MATTER!

They’ve reported
That the virus is headed
To the 100,000 mark
But they say
Don’t tell the President
He can’t wish it away
Or else it might serve
To ruin his day

Don’t tell him
Why he should wear a mask
Cuz I really don’t think
He’s up to the task
Not to mention the fact
That he wouldn’t ask
He’s waiting for
The pandemic to pass

We know that he’s lost
In the Twilight Zone
So he exists
In a world of his own
It’s only him
That he’s ever known
Since his childhood years
And now he’s full grown

He’s busy trying to save
Our dead monuments
As he trots out
Vice President Pence
Whom he leaves front and center
To try to make sense
Of the quagmire we’re in
And remove the suspense

The Governor of South Dakota,
At her insistence,
Says the President’s visit to Mount Rushmore
Won’t include social distance
No matter how many catch Coronavirus
Because of her resistance,
It will do little
To dampen her persistence!

Some who should know better,
Just forge on ahead,
When they don’t have relatives
Among the sick or the dead
They haven’t heard a word
That the good doctor said
So they sleep soundly
When they go to bed

It used to be face coverings,
Now it’s a mask
If it’s our Vice President
You choose to ask
I guess the science served
To change him real fast
He’s now telling the President
To kiss his white ***

She must not care,
How many die,
On her watch,
Here’s the reason why,
It’s the hard science that,
She chooses to defy
So all I can say is
Goodbye Felicia bye!

Let’s explore our
Deep divide,
A post-racial America?
Somebody lied!
Under Obama,
At least we tried
But post Obama
It seems to have died

Today we have
Torn off the scab,
And taken some gauze
While attempted to dab,
At the underlying sore
That we know we have
After applying a little salve

Race is everywhere
It permeates
Through our social consciousness
And personal hates
It’s presently launched
A thousand debates
Which suggests that
We’re in dire straights

The death of George Lloyd
Has us awoke
And through mass demonstrations
His still body spoke
All over the world
This is no longer a joke
Cuz now is the time
That we go for broke!

They killed John
and Bobby Kennedy too
And Dr, Martin Luther
Whom we all knew
And not to make it
Too complex
They killed Medgar Evers
And Malcom X

****** has been
The history
Of this country
And it’s plain to see
It’s no riddle
Or mystery
Why we have funerals
Consistently

So let’s not forget
Those frontier years
Remember Custer
And the Trail of Tears
The Ku Klux ****
Terrorizing our fears
With savage lynchings
And the crowd’s cheers

Eric Gardner and
George Floyd
Might have you thinkin’
I’m paranoid
But there were 70 others
Which makes that
Null and void
So to analyse it
Would take Sigmund Freud

If you wanna believe their *******
Go ahead and believe
But you’ll have to forgive me
If I call you naive
From day one
They’ve practiced to deceive
Now the economy’s in the toilet
So what else have they achieved?

There’s a worldwide pandemic
In which they were slow to respond
Now the number of American dead
Are far and beyond
The numbers we’ve lost
In all of our wars
And they’re rushing to open back up
While there’s still **** on their drawers

Russia and North Korea takes
Advantage of us everyday
But we don’t let that
Get in our way
From forging a friendship
That’s is to say
When you look at it closely
Is only one way

China is vilified by word of mouth
Then they cut fantastic deals with ‘em
While sitting on a couch
When you look at it
It’s enough
To make us say ouch!
But you’ve got to give it to him
Xi Jinping is no slouch

Since 1619,
American slavery’s first day
******* conspicuously
Has been on display
So what was that old fool
Attempting to say
That had the President
Tweeting away

If they have power
No need to tell us
We’re the people
Who in God
Place their trust
And pledge allegiance
To a nation
That doesn’t represent us

Their power doesn't
Need to be reinforced
Nor through crude slogans
Have to be endorsed
Or in the case of white supremacists
Awkwardly outsourced
It’s something for which
They’ve never shown remorse

We witness *******
In how we’re policed
And in the court houses
To say the very least
We never get the benefit
Of the doubt
And that’s something long ago
That we’ve figured out!
