Blue Wall Lyrics
[Intro: Tyler Carter]
Hands up!
[Verse 1: Tyler Carter]
Easily temperamental, dangerously equipped
Impossibly avoidable by proving their contempt
Bastardizing the justice and living above the law
Black and blue don't get along, blue just want 'em dead and gone
[Chorus: Michael Bohn]
Empty your clips on the victim
And then you look the other way
Your nation will crumble
And you'll just look the other way
[Verse 2: Tyler Carter & Michael Bohn]
Got a hood rat and the alley cat heard
The city got a kid hesitating to leave work
At the right time in the wrong place got served
An extendo, not a miranda head first
Get down, already knocked out face on the ground
We're at war with the ones who protect and serve
[Chorus: Michael Bohn & Tyler Carter]
Empty your clips on the victim
And then you look the other way
Minorities perish
And even though he got his hands up
[Bridge: Michael Bohn]
Caged like animals
Wound up and released with their badges
Brutalize our streets, savages
How many have to die
To put an end to crooked swine?
[Chorus: AJ Rebollo]
And you just look the other way
Empty your clips on the victim
And then you look the other way
Your nation will crumble
And you just look the other way
[Outro: Michael Bohn]
They will not fear the system anymore
They will not cower like they did before
This cannot be ignored
The machine will not hold us down
