Shoot me, You might as well, cause I'm a threat A threat to your system, a threat to your net profit and status quo, so pick up that gun shoot me and pray to the ground I go, and when you bury me you better call me a madman and pray that the martyrs don't grow
You may as well shoot me Mr.Police officer, It may put your employers at ease One bless black man with a heart of power One less antibiotic to your disease Don't forget to tell me I'm resisting, don't forget to tase me til I fall Don't forget to choke me so those listening won't hear my struggles, my calls Don't forget to have the media depict me as a ****, and a criminal and a menace to society Don't forget to reprimand and berate me Remind your older white listeners that my kind, my skin color is still not considered American Propriety But more like American property, disposable goods
So **** me, the cameras are recording but don't worry you'll get off free Might be just a conviction but your *****'s new henchmen and ***** still got the key A couple months paid administrative leave so you can sit on a beach, drink some ice tea Mad that you can no longer put chains on our wrists so you put handcuffs instead No longer pulling whips across our backs so you bury hot burning lead No longer working your fields for all to see but instead privatized free prison labor with your warden holding the key.
Martin told me when he us that he had a dream I got his same DNA in my bloodstream And in every cell in my body I feel the effect, I teem I boil I scream, when I see a black mother or father gunned down by police men and the children witnessing the death, the blood, the stream.....
I scheme, and when I sleep, I dream And when I dream it's bad news for you to avenge those we lost by crimes, undue To put a stop to all of you.
