For Floyd
Knee to the neck
Face in the asphalt
Only in America
"Well, it must be the Black's fault!"
"Listen to the police,
...and what they're insisting!"
Floyd said he couldn't breathe
And he wasn't resisting
"Don't commit crime
...and this won't happen!"
You racist motherf@$!er,
Have you no compassion?
Did you view the same
Recording as me,
And where did you develop
Your lack of empathy?
'Relieved of duty' isn't enough
It's the bare minimum
Do right by our brothers and sisters
And charge this f@$!ing criminal
Lock up Derek Chauvin
And the others involved
Until Justice is served
This won't be resolved
