Y=MX+C

20 Years and we're still screaming "Fuck the police"
I guess they don't want Eazy E to rest in peace
20 Years and we're still screaming "Fuck the police"
I guess they don't want Eazy E to rest in peace
20 Years and we're still screaming "Fuck the police"
I guess they don't want Eazy E to rest in peace
20 Years and we're still screaming "Fuck the police"
I guess they don't want Eazy E to rest in peace

I guess they don't want Eazy to rest in peace
Cuz they kept Mark Duggan on his knees
Is it fun to watch us bleed
Can someone put the history channel off repeat
Cuz I'm sick of seeing my brothers die
How many times do I have to see my mother cry
When will we use the chalk to find out y
It equals mx+c and not where the corpses lie
Ironic, cuz we don't use chalk in classes no more
Well that's an indication of how this metaphor, is truly prostrated
Sometimes I wonder if we'll see any changes
18 years and we're still catching cases
Cuz of the stereotype attached to our race(ist)
Faces surround me, but just like Rosa
I ain't backing down G

20 Years and we're still screaming "Fuck the police"
I guess they don't want Eazy E to rest in peace
20 Years and we're still screaming "Fuck the police"
I guess they don't want Eazy E to rest in peace
20 Years and we're still screaming "Fuck the police"
I guess they don't want Eazy E to rest in peace
20 Years and we're still screaming "Fuck the police"
I guess they don't want Eazy E to rest in peace

Yo, sometimes I just wonder if I will ever be free from this bondage
But unlike in BDSM, there ain't no safe word to save us from the pen
Cuz if you say, "Please don't shoot", they shoot you anyway
And plant the gun on you
So, what are we to do when the man in blue is pointing the gun at you
A name becomes a hashtag
A brother becomes a statistic
And the guy the pulled the trigger is allowed to live in peace (of shit)
Institutional lies, telling us we've been emancipated (yeah right)
Sssh if you're really quiet you can hear the sound of the manacles in your mind
I guess Blake was right
Blake was right
