Abolitionist's Lament
Eric Garner sold loose cigarettes
But no one else perceived him as a threat
Was killed by officer Pantaleo
That banned chokehold ain't banned today
So give more money to the cops
We're gonna give more money to the cops
We're gonna give em more training till it stops
We're gonna give em all the gadgets
Keep their guns and keep their badges
Gonna give more money to the cops
Freddie Gray did time for selling drugs
But mostly didn't bother anyone
Was arrested and for 30 minutes
Lost his life in a van unbuckled in it
So give more money to the cops
We're gonna give more money to the cops
We're gonna give em more training till it stops
We're gonna give em all the gadgets
Keep their guns and keep their badges
Gonna give more money to the cops
George Floyd went down to the corner store
As he had done so many times before
The shop called the cops cause his bill looked fake
A pig held him down, and his life he'd take
So give more money to the cops
We're gonna give more money to the cops
We're gonna give em more training till it stops
We're gonna give em all the gadgets
Keep their guns and keep their badges
Gonna give more money to the cops
We're gonna give more money to the cops
We're gonna give em more training till it stops
We're gonna give em all the gadgets
Keep their guns and keep their badges
Gonna give more money to the cops
But no one else perceived him as a threat
Was killed by officer Pantaleo
That banned chokehold ain't banned today
So give more money to the cops
We're gonna give more money to the cops
We're gonna give em more training till it stops
We're gonna give em all the gadgets
Keep their guns and keep their badges
Gonna give more money to the cops
Freddie Gray did time for selling drugs
But mostly didn't bother anyone
Was arrested and for 30 minutes
Lost his life in a van unbuckled in it
So give more money to the cops
We're gonna give more money to the cops
We're gonna give em more training till it stops
We're gonna give em all the gadgets
Keep their guns and keep their badges
Gonna give more money to the cops
George Floyd went down to the corner store
As he had done so many times before
The shop called the cops cause his bill looked fake
A pig held him down, and his life he'd take
So give more money to the cops
We're gonna give more money to the cops
We're gonna give em more training till it stops
We're gonna give em all the gadgets
Keep their guns and keep their badges
Gonna give more money to the cops
We're gonna give more money to the cops
We're gonna give em more training till it stops
We're gonna give em all the gadgets
Keep their guns and keep their badges
Gonna give more money to the cops
