URBAN WORE FEAR



I'll give you facts that matter as matters of fact.
Lives unlawfully taken from white to overwhelmingly black
Killed when they are being compliant
Complaint when they react with violence
Is it idiomatic to say they're having a riot when it's no joke in taking a life
It's hard enough living, even more so when law to a certain colour's blind
To arrest these public killers, a witness has to record sickening images on a phone
Or left on the ground a body, cam on? No. Phoney excuses to beat victim alone
Have to hang together or found hanging suicided from a rope
They're people that smoke trees not hang a rope from it dope
You have chickens forming clueless clucking clans through fear because alone they're paltry
It takes twenty to lynch one man whiles claiming to be supremacist, I think that logic's faulty
Loco authoritative taken over by criminal kingpins
Locals all for risk take if they can cut down lynchpins
Sorrow for George's family seeing him dying while trussed
Yet the investment from George Soros is what I don't trust...
