Hands up So maybe they'll see I surrender Under the foot of The Badge My hands are up and I beg mercy That this man doesn't pull the trigger Don't shoot! Hands up So many brothers and sisters lost in this war A bullet in me is nothing to them but a paid leave My blood is just another stain It won't cause this man with the badge any pain Don't shoot! Hands up In the court I'm the sketchy one But I wasn't the one standing behind the gun Please God don't shoot! Hands up While we stand together in peace And are accused of violence Beaten, gassed, punched, harassed This is war in these streets Where The Badge and the black man meets DON'T SHOOT Bang Wheres the peace?

Many people have an opinion on the events in Ferguson. This is mine.
