Cops They Kill &

cops they kill & kill & cops they kill & kill &
cops they kill & kill & cops they kill & kill

cops they killed a man riding on the subway
all because they say he didn't pay
how could a life be worth taking for 2.50?
on top of that that pig got paid leave

OSCAR PEREZ-GIRON
was just trying to get home
he was harassed just based on how he looked
baggy clothes, brown skin; are you spooked?

I take the lightrail & I don't pay fair
but my life's in tact because my skin is fair
racial profiling is evil, do you care?
you whities have privilege that isn't even fair

Oscar's homies said he used his orca card
so why did the police come down on him so hard?
they keep saying, they keep saying that he had a gun
the evidence is blurry, I ain't convinced none

backed into a corner by 3 pig thug
why would he pull a clip with nowhere to run? ug!
lightrail is the site of an assassination
media lies, character assassination

it's part of a process
the poor dispossessed
crimes against em everyday
never made it to the news fray
tune into my station
i bring you information
did you hear about DETROIT?
with its water fight
shut it off on thousands
death by dehydration ands
on that TV
i could not believe
said the poor'd rather pay cable
than drink at the dinner table
it makes no f*****g sense
the way controlled evidence
is accepted by the people
even those in a church steeple

cops they kill & kill & cops they kill & kill &
cops they kill & kill & cops they kill & kill

cops exist to kill, get with it my friend
or we will never see this empire end
the rules they enforce they choose selectively
to target the poor hella arbitrarily

a housed person exists outside so many laws
that's why more homeless end up in prison's claws
a CEO never has to steal to eat
but he gets away with stealing our ends meet

still the cops go after every petty criminal
never learn the rich wrote the game & stole the ball
I just wanna, I just wanna get through to you
privilege comes with a cost, it actually do

cognitive dissonance
is when you can't make sense
of something evident
cuz it's outside your experience
come on be that dissident
each one teach one informant
read & learn more
hold these stories to your core
reconfigure your intent
even if it's heaven sent
stop defending president
donkeys do that malintent
disguise it & reword it
but I know the truth, it's

cops they kill & kill & cops they kill & kill &
cops they kill & kill & cops they kill & kill

cops they killed a man riding on the subway
all because they say he didn't pay
how could a life be worth taking for 2.50?
on top of that that pig got paid leave

cops exist to kill, get with it my friend
or we will never see this empire end
the rules they enforce they choose selectively
to target the poor hella arbitrarily
