about

Anti-police brutality anthem

lyrics

Verse 1
Shots rang out in an instant
5 to the chest now the suspect’s down
Can you guess his description
Yes black male this is not profound
What’s the reason they killed him
He had no gun murder unexplained
No history of crime to speak of
Policeman claims he was just afraid

CHORUS
U don’t know what it’s like
U don’t know what it’s like
Duckin from the police
cos I’m black in America
Running from the police
state sponsored murderers
Murderers murderers
Murderers murderers

Verse 2
Victims mom on the tv
She says she forgives the assailant cops
Cities descend to mutiny
Officials demand the violence stop
From this country’s inception
The slaughter of blacks has been it’s way
With this coming election
The more things change they remain the same

CHORUS
U don’t know what it’s like
U don’t know what it’s like
Duckin from the police
cos I’m black in America
Running from the police
state sponsored murderers
Murderers murderers
Murderers murderers

CHORUS
U don’t know what it’s like
U don’t know what it’s like
Duckin from the police
cos I’m black in America
Running from the police
state sponsored murderers
Murderers murderers
Murderers murderers

BRIDGE
Be wary of the day
When vengeance is deployed
Shoot in your direction
Rob your mother of her joy
Your Arrogance blinds you
From the threat you create
It won’t be very long
Before the streets disintegrate.

CHORUS
U don’t know what it’s like
U don’t know what it’s like
Duckin from the police
cos I’m black in America
Running from the police
state sponsored murderers
Murderers murderers
Murderers murderers
