about

The consistent dehumanizing of black bodies, and how that makes it easy to be callous towards our suffering.

lyrics

He was no angel, so lets paint him as the devil
Look at his eyes, look at his skin… he’s gotta be the devil
On every level dig through his past, bring up his trouble
Pow.. pow… pow.. pow… pow, go get the shovels
And ah, please remain peaceful throughout this tragedy
I know we killed him in cold blood, I know it sad to see
I know they won’t be prosecuted, no just take this paid leave
Walk outta court whistling dixie, no place I’d rather be
Ooo yall make me sick with this hypocrisy
Go get a gun, go get a bigger one… go get a better one
A black man get a gun “kill him”… pow, pow “he had a gun”
They never loved us, they're never gonna love us
Stop looking for their love, the slave patrol ain’t your brothers
Don’t ever try to stop me from making it home to see my daughter
Cause I’ll go through you, I’ll do you dirty… it’ll feel like torture
And if we fought it out, I’d rather take the shorter route
I’ll Nat Turner…. turn this plantation into a slaughter house
And I don’t need to say they name for y'all to get it
Or put a shirt with it, or airbrush a fitted
Hashtag R.I.P. fill in the blank
Hashtag Black man dead or in the clink
Hashtag call the police because I’m scared
Hashtag that was a mistake, now my sons dead
Hashtag, how many hashtags we gonna hashtag
Its kinda ironic that hashtag sounds like blacks dead
Yet when that facts read, a lot of people roll their eyes
And others never broke their stride… i guess were just supposed to die
