“They didn’t get arrested because they saw the video, they got arrested because we saw the video…”
Exercising while Black shouldn’t be a death sentence,
Sick of the ignorance and evil intentions,
Only took you a minute to end yet another life
Then utter lies,
Your stomach probably full of butterflies,
As you get to take out the people you so despise,
Playing target practice with my Blackness,
Now you want to profile me
For wearing the very mask our state said to wear,
You hate my Black skin, and my nappy hair,
But most of all you hate the way Becky and Karen stare,
I’m like your worst nightmare,
Black and beautiful,
To you that is just not suitable,
Your hate speech you felt emboldened to share,
Because as far as you are concerned
45 is bigger than the man upstairs,
I didn’t see the MAGA hat or a white hood,
But I did see the police cars quite good,
It took four of them to tell me
I fit the description of a robber,
Honestly, I was just a pissed off grocery shopper,
Unloading my own bags,
But you treated me like I was unloading a mag…
A magazine,
Only in a bastard’s dream,
Told me to take off my mask,
A tad obscene,
Making a scene,
Got me in handcuffs,
I’m thinking…
“Lord what kind of scheme?”
(BANG)
