Black and Blue

So tired of this bullshit, bruh
ACAB, no cap, yeah
Let's go

Through the smoke flashes red and blue
Silhouettes marchin' in pursuit
Fists in the air, hands up don't shoot
Is this what justice is to you?
Through the smoke clashes blue and black
Silhouettes march under attack
Hands on my neck can't breathe like this
Can't live with all this fake justice

My faith got slammed through the asphalt (Boom!)
'Cause the color of my skin says I'm at fault (Black)
Yeah to you it's a threat, so you kill her in her bed
Take aim, then you spray till she rag doll (Brrrah!)

Any step can be your last in this minefield (Yeah, uh!)
Even if a nigga never made a drug deal (Say what?)
Even if he carry legal they gon' lay him spread eagle
Put a knee up on his neck, it's a done deal (God damn!)

Karen ass snitches got the 12 in they pocket
Who gon' try to plant the bag in mine (Blue bitches!)
With they son at the caucus and they man in the office
If you speak, they gon' put one in your spine (Pew!)

Turn a blind eye is what you do (Yeah!)
We can't turn the other cheek on the issue (Nah)
But don't wanna move cause that's your cue (It is)
God only knows what's good enough for you (God damn)

Through the smoke flashes red and blue (Blue)
Silhouettes marchin' in pursuit (Yeah)
Fists in the air, hands up don't shoot (Don't shoot!)
Is this what justice is to you? (Nah, nah)
Through the smoke clashes blue and black (Yeah)
Silhouettes march under attack (Uh)
Hands on my neck can't breathe like this
Can't live with all this fake justice (Yeah)

Rubber shots out the muzzle (Pop pop!)
They don't wanna hear yo' struggle They ain't wanna hear you cry
Fuck about human lives
Pepper spray used like pesticide (Yeah, yeah!)

Tear gas in my eye (In my eyes)
So I won't see past their disguise (What disguise?)
Sayin' they're here to keep the peace (Weeoh!)
But behind closed doors they like

If they protest go get the hose
They look alike so shoot 'em both (Brrah!) Then hide behind the copper shield
It's slaughter time, pigs never squeal (Yah!)

Media stories are slippin'
Morality codes are glitchin' (Glitch!)
Can't tell if we gon' be alright (We right)
But mother fucker we gon' fight

Through the smoke flashes red and blue
Silhouettes marchin' in pursuit
Fists in the air, hands up don't shoot
Is this what justice is to you? (You)
Through the smoke clashes blue and black (Black)
Silhouettes march under attack (Attack)
Hands on my neck can't breathe like this (Yeah)
Can't live with all this fake justice (Fake justice)

Serve and protect (Hmm)
Very few have that rep (Mmm)
And I'm pretty sure, I know I'm correct
You'd be lost without the outfit (O h)

Is a life something you can collect? (Is it?)
Does every one buy a little respect? (Well?)
Did I hit a nerve? Are you upset?
If I spoke out could you even object? (Can ya?)

No one said your soul was up for sale (No it wasn't)
But you decide where lives go on the scale (Uh-huh)
Grimace at first glance then assailed (Brrah!)
All because the pigment was far from pale (What?)

Magnify the conflict with a tale tail (Bullshit)
Expressions are stale as our names are veiled
Clenching our heads with our fingernails (Yeah yeah yeah yeah, uh)
Do the same crime but they get to post bail

(Put these motherfuckers behind bars already, bruh)

Through the smoke flashes red and blue (Blue)
Silhouettes marchin' in pursuit (Yeah)
Fists in the air, hands up don't shoot (Don't shoot!)
Is this what justice is to you? (Is it?)
Through the smoke clashes blue and black (Watch out!)
Silhouettes march under attack (Uh)
Hands on my neck can't breathe like this
Can't live with all this fake justice (Yeah)

Silence speaks violence to these fuckin' tyrants
Out
