Interlude 1 - What Do You Do
Man, you gotta, like, first keep your calm
I mean, like all these people was tellin' me, you're not bulletproof
I still don't know
Why do you think that a lot of young black kids (What do you do?)
Are getting killed by the police?
What's your opinion?
Ah, man, that I can't figure, bro. (What do you do?)
I can't figure that for nothin', bro
Remember, you're not bulletproof (What do you do?)
The worst thing you can do is get yourself killed
Because from there,
You don't have your power (What do you do?)
I just keep it cool
Wasn't no arguin' when somebody
Got a gun; you might get shot
What I learnt is just stay calm,
And uh,. don't try to escalate the situation
Pull out my fuckin' camera. (What do you do?)
I'd try to cooperate as much as I can
You getting' stopped in some back alley somewhere
You'd better do whatever he tells you to do,
No matter if he's wrong as hell
They have to express that they know what
Their rights are, but I wouldn't resist or fight back.
I just think that it's too dangerous a climate
For anybody to do that, but especially for ... people
If you know you're not doing anything wrong
You be patient, follow whatever orders
You'll be able to get away just fine.
Other than that, I don't know,
If you can't get that.
