I can never understand you
Why do you do the things you do
Why do you stand above the law
It's time to end the abuse
You
Eric Garner
July 17th 2014
I Took the first right
Left, then right again
Walking down Bay Street
Where the sirens parade
This is Staten Island
Run by Italian
Street gangs
And the Irish mobs
Then another siren
From an under cover cop
Like severe turbulence
Better call the ambulance
Out in these streets
I got to feed my kids
I can see the police
Coming around
I turned my back
He won't let down
I'm Trapped in a choke hold
And he won't let go
I'm screaming I can't breath
I can't breath
This is America
And Black lives don't matter
Heavenly Father
This my name Eric Gardner
A cop about to murder me
And my family is gonna miss me
And I'm asking you please
Put a stop to dis
Or Daniel patella
Will walk away free
God damn
We need to stop this war
We been searching for a answer
Let's rise up together
Cuz we can't take this no more
It was the law who shot my brother
It was a cop who took my sister
Your honor tell me why
He still got his power
Cuz my father didn't have a weapon
And my mother never been to prison
We crying out for justice
It's just us out here now
February 26th , 2012
It's a rainy night
In Sanford Florida
On the phone with My girl
On my way home
From a convenience store
About 7:00 o'clock
I saw the neighborhood watch
Walking behind me
Looking real grimy
It's getting real creepy
Then my headset dropped
The phone line cut
I'm going down in history
I'm a big part of this
How did it get to this
The neighbors heard a scream
Somebody help me
I need help
Then The neighbor
Heard a shot
My body went in shock
My name is Travon Martin
And Zimmerman about to murder me
It was the law who shot my brother
It was a cop who shot my sister
Your honor tell me why
He still got his power
Cuz my father didn't have a weapon
And my mother never been to prison
We crying out for justice
It's just us out here now
We need to stop this war
Cus if we stand for nothing
We fall for everything
We can all agree together
Why does it matter
If you black and white
Cuz
From United States to Europe
From South America to Australia
Asia to Africa
Antarctica
Sirenes
It was the law who took my brother
It was a cop who shot my sister
Your honor tell me why
He still got his power
Cuz my father didn't have a weapon
And my mother never been to prison
We crying out for justice
It's just us out here now
