  • Easily temperamental
    Dangerously equipped
    Impossibly avoidable
    By proving their contempt
    Bastardizing the justice
    And living above the law
    Black and blue don't get along
    Blue just want em dead and gone
    Empty your clips on the victim
    And then you look the other way
    Your nation will crumble
    And you'll just look the other way
    Got a hood rat and the alley cat heard
    The city got a kid hesitating to leave work
    At the right time in the wrong place got served
    An extendo not a miranda head first
    Get down, already knocked out face on the ground
    We're at war with the ones who protect and serve
    Empty your clips on the victim
    And then you look the other way
    Minorities parish
    And even tho he got his hands up
    Caged like animals
    Wound up and released with their badges
    Brutalize our streets, savages
    How many have to die
    To put an end to crooked swine
    And you just look the other way
    Empty your clips on the victim
    And then you look the other way
    Your nation will crumble
    And you just look the other way
    They will not fear the system anymore
    They will not cower like they did before
    This cannot be ignored
    The machine will not hold us down Writer/s: Adrian Rebollo, Derek Carter, Josh Manuel, Michael Bohn, Skyler Acord, Tyler Acord
