Justice is a joke – this isn’t the land of the free
and our flag basically means nothing to me.
People who aren’t us say things have changed,
and to that I advise to stay in your lane.
It’s easy to measure what’s not inflicted on you.
America’s lies are the only things that are true.
A boy the same age, height, who dresses like me
was shot multiple times and left dead in the street.
His killer swore to serve and protect.
Isn’t it scary to think that I could be next?
Instead of curing the problem we try to cure ALS.
Murdering unarmed black teens needs to be laid to rest.
But to America, we are the problem
The cops are murderers too. Why would I call ’em?
You’re sick of me talking it? Try living it.
Because not much has changed since the civil rights period.
Instead of trusting the justice system, we fear it.
Because the wrong way is where America has been steerin’.
