A black man driving down the street one day
Pulled over by racist boys in blue in Brentwood,Pa.
Theres no reason,they dont have any right
It´s just that in their eyes he´s not the correct shade of white....
Driving in a neighborhood that´s reigned by whites
Ain´t healthy for a black man trying to live a lengthy life
All those cops they walked off free,but him he´s in a grave
His name is Jhonny Gammage,one of thousands they have slain
We´ve got no rights.....
....When cops can kill
it´s not right....
.....we live in fear
Patrol man crusing in his car at night
Just looking for some homeys he can rough up in a fight
Pulled over 3 kids in a total rage
Next thing that you know there´s bodies all over the place
His back up came & they´re all acting tough
3 kids vs. 6 or 7 cops all armed with billy clubs
The cops they did it just cause those kids color and their age
They say that´s not the truth,but this happens every fucking day!!!
We´ve got no rights....
....When cops can kill
it´s not right.....
.....we live in fear
Fear of what you´re gonna do,when a cops talking shit to you
Fear of what you´re gonna say,when the cops come gunning your way
Fear of what you should´nt do,when the cops try to provoke you
Fear that on any given day,the cops could take your life away......
They say they´re here,to keep the peace........
WHAT A BUNCH OF FUCKIN SHIT!!!
We´ve got no rights...
....when cops can kill
it´s not right.....
....we live in fear
TAKE BACK YOUR RIGHTS!!!
