Maafa: Sankofa's Paradox

After M was murdered
Murdered, executed in broad daylight in your city
I asked myself, how long
I didn't ask myself, I posted it on Facebook as a mater of fact
How long is it going to take for the Chief to come out
And tell the community that we didn't see what we thought we saw on that video
How long was it going to take for the
Police to come out and tell us that we didn't understand
The circumstances surrounding that murder, because that's the tape
That's what happens every time
We see what happens and then you traught yourself out and tell us that
We are not intelligent enough
To understand that we saw a Black Man, gunned down, execution style

And somehow you think, that talking to us like we are children
Who have not been examining, watching, studying you
And your system, for hundreds of years
As we figure out how to tear it down, push back, and eventually win
As you continue to talk to us like children
What you are doing is inciting the rage of the people
And I want to be clear with you all that a new day has come
To San Francisco, to Oakland, to Baltimore, to Ferguson, to Atlanta
There is a movement sweeping this country
And we are not going to stop until you
Stop
Killing
Us
