Black Crimes = Love Crimes
In the news there’s been recent killings of POC and the LGBT community. This record is a cry of anger of trying to understand why we must we die. It shows how hate is a form of love.
Black Crimes Lyrics
[Verse 1]
"Love" crimes, high cost
We're doing time
We're sentenced to life
"Love" crimes, high cost
And we're doing time
When you've lost, and you've lied
You're sentenced to life, to life
True life, loved and loss
[Chorus]
All these "love" crimes
All these "love" crimes
All these "love" crimes
[Verse 2]
They don't realize
This "love" is murder
Bullets, they fly
This is "love" crimes
[Chorus]
This is "love" crimes
This is "love" crimes
This is "love" crimes
[Verse 3]
True hearts, so lost
Broken and denounced
They long to fit
Instead, they're beat up
[Verse 4]
"Love" crimes, high cost
We're doing time
We're sentenced to life
"Love" crimes, high cost
We're doing time
We're sentenced to life
[Interlude]
True hearts, so long
True hearts, so long
True hearts, so long
True hearts, so long
[Outro]
All these "love" crimes

[I was] just trying to understand how people call things hate crimes, when they seem to love to do it so often. It’s more like love crimes to me and so that question of “why is your love seem so hateful?”…I was just asking that, because at the time because cops were killing people of colour like pop...
