It sounds like a broken record Feels just like a revolving door When another tin-star soldier Explains what somebody died for When both sides are crying "justice!" But when all things are complete There's another broken family There's more blood out in the street.
And there's nobody to answer for The systemic elimination Of innocent black men and boys Across this old and broken nation. When guilt is predetermined And last resorts become reflex A whole race of Americans Are forced to worry "Am I next?"
You don't have to like the truth In order for the truth to be. You can cry out furiously When men in protest take a knee, But if you deny the evidence When the truth is brought to light Then, you're a sucker or a liar, Either way, you're just not right.
I try not to judge situations based on emotion, but my heart is heavy, and I'm angry, and emotion is all I can offer right now. If you're the kind of person that would belittle or justify the ****** of Terance Crutcher, then you're the kind of person I don't care of I offend. The truth doesn't need you to accept it in order for it to be the truth.
