Occupation (feat. 1 Shot Dot)

The police are there not to
In our community not to
Promote our welfare
Or our security and our safety
But they are there to contain us
To brutalize us and murder us
Because they have their orders to do so
The police in our community couldn't possibly be there to protect our property because we own no property
They couldn't possibly be there to see that we receive due process of law
For the simple reason that the police themselves deny us the due process of law
And so it's very apparent
That the police are only in our community
Not for our security but for security of the business owners in the community
And also to see that the status quo is kept in tact

Tell me what's your occupation
With all of this time and resources you wasting
Where every day we fight for our right to live
It's not right we living life like immigration
You keep telling us to be patient
Change is coming but we are tired of just waiting
While you gun us down In public and hatred
We still living in the modern day enslavement

Tell me what's your occupation
Bidding while Trump is fucking up the nation
We living in a different era than from back then when we was all under Reagan
Engaging in politics and never solving shit and since their birth they been racist
And in a race to erase the black race off the face of the earth why they so full of hatred
And what's even worse
Is that they got us all caught up in the matrix
We caged in and can't escape he deporting foreigners in banning immigration
Just saying
What's the difference between Isis and ice
There is none they both terrorizing life
The president is gonna make us all pay for that wall
And genocide is the price
So we can pretend that is cool
Protest his set of views and grow a set of testicles
Present the truth and then let us choose
Instead of believing what's said in the news
What we need is a bunch of better schools
A community where we police our own
But by the way it's looking we headed into martial law
Soon to be forced to leave our homes
They put us on the ground and cuff us
Flood us and hold us under cus they want us to drown is scary
Every time I close my eyes I see them gunning another one of us down we barely
Breathing in a sense even Mike Pence
Believe in the Willie Lynch theory
Got us all thinking that we free
But ain't seen freedom since I don't know when so I'm leery
Really what's your occupation huh
With all this bullshit that we facing I
Hate to say it but we may not have a safe place
For our babies to raise them up
Eradicating life to racism
And I ain't blaming all Caucasians
Nah
It's not about black or white thing
It's whoever the rights being taken from
Us

Tell me what's your occupation
With all of this time and resources you wasting
Where every day we fight for our right to live
It's not right we living life like immigration
You keep telling us to be patient
Change is coming but we are tired of just waiting
While you gun us down In public and hatred
We still living in the modern day enslavement
Tell me what's your occupation
With all of this time and resources you wasting
Where every day we fight for our right to live
It's not right we living life like immigration
You keep telling us to be patient
Change is coming but we are tired of just waiting

We still living in the modern day enslavement

My occupation
Is to stop the hatred that you're creating
Fighting for our rights and obligations
They took control over our population
I speak up for me in the nation
Declaration versus gentrification
No emancipation no proclamation
Fighting Uncle Sam over our wages
We need them raises
Coming coming straight up out of the basement
Build it up in the pavement
Peep the lessons how we seek success in entertainment
Kill each other to be famous
Fightin modern day enslavement
All the proverties it came with
Cops be out here living racist
Grave yard to the dayshift
Cus I hustle feed the young one and pay rent
I ain't superstition it's clues I'm giving
Like the new eugenics of euthanizm
The truth I'm Spittin jump in the booth I'm given
The proof I'm really hoping the youth will listen
Newest drug the Internet you addicted
Tell my hitters Jesus they crucifixed him
I'm a preach to you through the music business
And keep on teaching them cause they do forget it
Innocent but they making you the victim
Gentrifying places the crew be living
Mis-leading students in the schooling system
It's superficial but still the shoe will fit you
They took us out of our land
EBT will keep us eating up out of a can
They work supply and demand
The CIA locked us in with the King Alfred Plan

Tell me what's your occupation
With all of this time and resources you wasting
Where every day we fight for our right to live
It's not right we living life like immigration
You keep telling us to be patient
Change is coming but we are tired of just waiting
While you gun us down In public and hatred
We still living in the modern day enslavement
Tell me what's your occupation
With all of this time and resources you wasting
Where every day we fight for our right to live
It's not right we living life like immigration
You keep telling us to be patient
Change is coming but we are tired of just waiting
While you gun us down In public and hatred
We still living in the modern day enslavement

When we first started we had a police alert patrol
And we would patrol the community
If we saw the police brutalize anyone we'd put in an end to this
Usually the police wouldn't brutalize anyone if we were on hand because we were armed
And if the police arrested the individual we'd followed them to the jail
And bail the individual out
Now whether he was a panther or not
And we would gain many recruits like this
So therefore the community started
To say well these people are really concerned about our welfare
