When they broke down the door

and put their guns in the face of your wife and child

and as they pinned you to the floor

did you say "officer, i am not resisting you. " ?


American Justice american dream

is this what ' the other half ' means

half of our lives dissolved in fear

half of our rights they disappear

is our apathy so corrosive

where does the cycle start

hear the sirens screaming out in the distance

hold your family close to your heart


American Justice American Lies

a war of words that I despise

I wish the good cops If they exist

the very best

and a bullet for all the


complications injustice deliberations what's the deal

they fake it, we break it, and take back what they steal

we could rise black and white unbound and make them pay

for every tear, for every fear, defend our yesterdays


when they dropped the bomb on the building to kill a MOVEment

did they care where the rights of the murdered went

police terror in the eyes of the children

police terror in the streets of every town

where's our freedom when the sun goes down

and will the houses that the landlords built keep out the bullet sound


American Justice American Lies

a racist prison

anaesthetized

I wish the good cops If they exist

the very best

and a bullet for all the . . .


so we try

to defend

together


defend our yesterdays , defend our tomorrows

together
