Slave Patrol
Caught in a trap between iron bars, drug wars, firearms
Ain't no love here, enemy houses they firebomb
Like September '63
Google 16th Street
Now tell me what side you on the favorite or underdog
Guns are drawn, another black son is gone
Another black mother scarred
Whose child ain't coming home
13th of May, Philadelphia '85
Eleven Yahudi including five brown babies died
Dem catch a fire
Slave patrol, slave catcher, paddy roll
Every day dem a chase us down maintain the status quo
Listen, old Pharaoh had his taskmaster beat us
And new Pharaoh
Well, he had thee overseer
Ain't nothing change but the weather
Whether you thinking it's better after Jim Crow and Civil Rights
Cause you living life to the fullest
Ignoring video footage
Nowadays, the Klan isn't hooded but dressed in uniform
Cops, that's crooked
Rest in Power, Ahmaud Arbery
And countless others with similar stories
In our exile
In our exile
Yo, Rest in Power, Ahmaud Arbery
And countless others with similar stories
In our exile
In our exile
Yo, Rest in Power, Ahmaud Arbery
And countless others with similar stories
In our exile
In our exile
Yo, Rest in Power, Ahmaud Arbery
And countless others with similar stories
In our exile
In our exile
Ain't no love here, enemy houses they firebomb
Like September '63
Google 16th Street
Now tell me what side you on the favorite or underdog
Guns are drawn, another black son is gone
Another black mother scarred
Whose child ain't coming home
13th of May, Philadelphia '85
Eleven Yahudi including five brown babies died
Dem catch a fire
Slave patrol, slave catcher, paddy roll
Every day dem a chase us down maintain the status quo
Listen, old Pharaoh had his taskmaster beat us
And new Pharaoh
Well, he had thee overseer
Ain't nothing change but the weather
Whether you thinking it's better after Jim Crow and Civil Rights
Cause you living life to the fullest
Ignoring video footage
Nowadays, the Klan isn't hooded but dressed in uniform

And countless others with similar stories

Yo, Rest in Power, Ahmaud Arbery
And countless others with similar stories
In our exile
In our exile
Yo, Rest in Power, Ahmaud Arbery
And countless others with similar stories
In our exile
In our exile
Yo, Rest in Power, Ahmaud Arbery
And countless others with similar stories
In our exile
In our exile
