The cops are killing us
My submissiveness is my shieldMy skin color is my weapon
Eric Garner
George Zimmerman
The crazy thing is Zimmerman lived and garner got killed and ain’t even have a gun in his possession
How come cops yell at us for having a simple question ?
Garner died and Zimmerman didn’t do you see this connection ?
Cops killing innocent people with no hesitation
And guilty white people get to live just because they’re on certain medication
What happened to innocent til proven guilty?
Why when I resist do cops kill me?
I’m not resisting because I’m in the wrong
But I’m resisting because I know I’ve been innocent all along
I’m black and he’s white
So how come when we’re both selling drugs
I get stopped by the police at night
How come when I walk with a hoodie on at night
The cops stop and attack me when I didn’t even put up a fight
It’s crazy how we fought so hard to end racism and it’s illegal
But cops are blind sighted to white crimes and only focusing on the black ones
And nobody cares as if it is legal
To discriminate us
To incriminate us
And sometimes to eliminate us
