Tired Of This Conversation By: Cedric McClester Another unarmed person is killed By a cop It’s usually someone black or brown Is it not? It shouldn’t matter what the color It’s just has to stop Before another person Gets choked or shot Say you’re tired of this conversation Well so am I But I don’t wanna see another person Needlessly die No matter what the rational Or the reason why You can’t bring ‘em back to life With a tried alibi No one said a policeman’s job Isn’t hard But that’s no reason why we Have to be on guard If we’re black or brown In order to ****** The fact that we’re in fear of them For a start Say you’re tired of this conversation Well so am I But I don’t wanna see another person Needlessly die No matter what the rational Or the reason why You can’t bring ‘em back to life With a tired alibi You’re tired of this conversation We are too But all across this nation There’s people on the move Hoping the situation somehow Will improve So that we can put the needle Back in the groove Say you’re tired of this conversation Well so am I But I don’t wanna see another person Needlessly die No matter what the rational Or the reason why You can’t bring ‘em back to life With a tired alibi Grand juries will sit down But never indict The perpetrating policemen And that ain’t right When they come back with no true bill That just incites And moreover it denies Their civil rights Say you’re tired of this conversation Well so am I But I don’t wanna see another person Needlessly die No matter what the rational Or the reason why You can’t bring ‘em back to life With a tired alibi (c) Copyright 2015, Cedric McClester.
