Song of the Deaf and Mute
These raps are murders once forgotten
Ones that've never been reported
Voiceless victims and crazy systems
Phone calls that I done recorded
Disadvantaged youth screaming out
Opportunities that were never afforded
This for Black kids executed daily
And the ones that got aborted
This is for the lost and the orphaned
Ones who never got supported
Gun legislation was buried
Under political talk that's been distorted
Cities reeling in darkness
Bludgeoned to death by silence
Newsfeeds being cut off
Imposed curfews, total compliance
blurred out and edited versions
Presented to us in total bias
Wires severed; signals lost
Cities convulsing in riots
Black dreams thrown into a vat of acid
Echoes of screams but no proof
Condemned buildings of injustice
The dark history we try to refute
Raging wars of white supremacy
The evil mind of Dylan Roof
Boarded-up abandoned buildings
Another vacant ballot booth
Trap houses with trapdoors
Ghoulish eyes of blind youth
Twisted and deranged kids
Screaming out don't shoot
Ones that've never been reported
Voiceless victims and crazy systems
Phone calls that I done recorded
Disadvantaged youth screaming out
Opportunities that were never afforded
This for Black kids executed daily
And the ones that got aborted
This is for the lost and the orphaned
Ones who never got supported
Gun legislation was buried
Under political talk that's been distorted
Cities reeling in darkness
Bludgeoned to death by silence
Newsfeeds being cut off
Imposed curfews, total compliance
blurred out and edited versions
Presented to us in total bias
Wires severed; signals lost
Cities convulsing in riots
Black dreams thrown into a vat of acid
Echoes of screams but no proof
Condemned buildings of injustice
The dark history we try to refute
Raging wars of white supremacy
The evil mind of Dylan Roof
Boarded-up abandoned buildings
Another vacant ballot booth
Trap houses with trapdoors
Ghoulish eyes of blind youth
Twisted and deranged kids
Screaming out don't shoot
