Bang! Bang! Lyrics

[Newscaster]
In New York, the shooting of another unarmed black man raises further questions about NYPD tactics
On Thursday, an undercover police officer shot and killed Patrick Dorismond

[Verse 1]
Murder is murder, why are they confused?
Another man dead, I read it in the news
Who gave them the fucking right
To run around like they own the night?

[Chorus]
Oh bang! bang!
Oh bang! bang!
Oh bang! bang!
Oh bang! bang!
Oh

[Verse 2]
Wrong fucking time, wrong fucking place
There is no fucking way, this is not about race
Who's gonna call 9-1-1
When they can't tell a wallet from a motherfucking gun?

[Chorus]
Oh bang! bang!
Oh bang! bang!
Oh bang! bang!
Oh bang! bang!
Oh

[Bridge]
Bang bang, daddy, I want you dead
Bang bang, fucker. get out of my head
Bang bang, daddy, I want you dead
Bring me Giuliani's head

[Chorus]
Oh bang! bang!
Oh bang! bang!
Oh bang! bang!
Oh bang! bang!
Oh

[Newscaster]
Since the shootings, police have changed their account of what happened that night
The shooting has angered many community members, especially after four NYPD officers were acquitted last month in the shooting of unarmed African immigrant, Amadou Diallo

[Outro]
One, two, three, four
Five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve
Thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, twenty
Twenty-one, twenty-two, twenty-three, twenty-four, twenty-five, twenty-six, twenty-seven, twenty-eight
Twenty-nine, thirty, thirty-one, thirty-two, thirty-three, thirty-four, thirty-five, thirty-six
Thirty-seven, thirty-eight, thirty-nine, forty, forty-one!
