Hands up don't shoot,
I did nothing!
In the eyes of the law,
they don't see that.
All they see is a enemy,
a different color complexion,
someone who's below them,
an innocent life that deserves to die.
You see it everyday,
all over social media,
including the news.
"A teen was just shot dead by police."
"A father was shot down for grabbing a bottle of water."
"Two teenage boys were killed just for having the music blaring loud and proud."
Its happening all throughout
this entire nation,
even in different countries.
Police brutality is at its highest,
someone's gotta step up to the plate.
Raise your voice,
let it ROAR like the lions!
Let's end this once and for all,
so that no one has to be afraid
to be who they are.
