Floyd

[Verse 1]
I wanted to say something, typed it out
But couldn't bring myself to post 'cause what am I about?
If the words have no actions, this is massive
What's with the blind allegiance? Maliciousness from badges
Should be adequately punished this is why Kaepernick took a knee
Police brutality, people casually act like we
Don't have a problem or you hate the military
Just cause' you call it out when the state kills a civilian. Very
Suspicious. Have you considered the premise?
Of the nation’s anthem? It's decеnt against the British
Rebellion is thе cornerstone this nation was founded on
But when it's done by people black and brown it gets frowned upon
Hypocrisy. We've exhausted philosophy
If people are at odds with cops it's in hopes that laws will be
More representative of the citizens as a whole
Who were the Minutemen? Is this different? Who has control?
What's Cointelpro? Where is Fred Hampton?
Was the CIA connected to the 1980's cocaine expansion?
If you know the answers don't be quiet
Understand, the last thing I hope to see's a riot
But I'm at a loss for words and if you've ever read the second
You'll know it's to protect from threats foreign or domestic

[Verse 2]
Police have a hard fucking job
They selflessly place themselves in harms way to stop
Violent crimes. Their sacrifice is noble
If you add the good and bad, I wouldn’t be surprised if the total
Was more towards what’s right. They want to serve their community
But a badge doesn't deserve impunity
Murders should be treated as such, if you violate the code?
Then you go to jail. This is why you take the oath
Fuck! You’re supposed to be a superhero!
Better than good. If you don’t do this then you lose the bureau's
Blessing. Derek Chavin is not a cop but a criminal
Who deserves a murder sentence, minimal
He betrayed the public’s trust. What happened was wrong
Frankly fuck the fact I even have to rap this song
Plus, isn’t a tenant of conservatism
Limited government? To unconditionally serve the system
Is ironic. Jesus was killed by the state
His crucifixion was legal, it’s time to take
Fate into our hands. Mold a more inclusive union
So maybe what you could do in conclusion
Is listen. What do you believe?
How’d you feel when George Floyd said he couldn’t breathe
It’s destruction of property vs. destruction of people
If you’re more bothered by the loss of a target than you are evil
We disagree
I don’t think you have to think it’s right to see
This pain’s origin. The ethics of their fire
Is not the question. The effect of what transpired
Is not the cause, and that’s what we should focus on
That’s why I wrote this song
Think bigger than the symptom
What’s the original illness that exists within the system?
