Dirty Cops

from aPathetic World by Freedom Movement

lyrics

I understand why you feel like snappin’ / Knowin’ there’s a time and a place for gun clappin’ / Beat us down but we bounce right back / And never make a move ‘til I know what’s happenin’ / I represent a certain part of the fraction / Of revolutionary people in action / Suspect of anyone with a badge / And I don’t trust cops ‘cuz they don’t trust black men / You know what I’m sayin’? I mean we can both come to the table as equals but right now how we supposed to both truly feel equal when only one of us is packin’ the heat? / Military grade ammunitions / And hollow point tips pointed at civilians / By any means to obtain submission / Dirty dirty cops makin’ dirty conditions / Wonder if they ever really would listen / Just bein’ black shouldn’t mean a conviction / Cock’d back with the eagle eye vision / And let’s pray to God I make the right decision / Ya know what I’m sayin’ I mean this should be a last resort and you, you keep pushin’ down hard on people, some of these people feelin’ like, ya know, they backed against the wall / Stand down, everybody just hold up / I called the S1W to show up / It’s gettin’ heated and I hope it don’t blow up / I heard God sayin’ “When you gonna grow up?” / Four shottas at the door when they roll up / All cards in, someone gotta fold up / I know the best man, he don’t always win / Like Malcom and Martin and Gandhi didn’t / Ya know what I’m sayin’? And these were our speakers, our representatives, ya know FOR PEACE. And you went and you took all of ‘em out / Whoa, whoa, whoa I’m prayin’ for a peaceful solution / Whoa, whoa, whoa I’m prayin’ for a nonviolent social revolution 2x / You make it hard but I still wanna try yo/ If we could put all of our weapons to the side, y’all / You’re not a cop, I’m not feelin’ homicidal / We could’ve been livin’ peace for a while now / I try to say it once again with a smile y’all / It’s all love but I gotta draw a line now / And ain’t nobody here today gotta die now / I’m gonna count 3 then I guess we’re gonna find out / Whoa, whoa, whoa I’m prayin’ for a peaceful solution / Whoa, whoa, whoa I’m prayin’ for a nonviolent social revolution
