[Intro: Newscast/Police Banter]
[Verse One]
Lesson number one, mister Eric Garner
Accused of selling loosies, up on the corner
To popo its a no go, he said let me go yo
But ended up dead, 20 second choke hold
The move was illegal, he said he can't breathe and he
Had a heart attack and they blamed his obesity
But not the officer, they found him in the right
Daniel Pantaleo, they did not indict
And how about the life, 12 year old Tamir Rice
Playing in the park as the day got near night
The cops were called
Toy gun was at fault
k**ed him while the car came to a halt
Not a single question
No warning made
They tackled his sister instead of giving first aid
And threatened to throw his poor mom behind bars
Officer Loehmann was not even charged
Not even safe in your car, your baby mama at the wheel
Your daughter in the back, look at Philando Castile
Matched the description, so they pulled the car over
While following orders, they shot him four times
In the stomach and the shoulder
Then handcuffed Diamond
While the whole thing on Facebook was live and
No first aid was given after paramedics dialed
And for officer Yanez, no charges were filed
[Hook]
They say don't resist it, but the force is excessive
And we're zipping up a body bag
It's best to play it safer, shoot first and ask later
Now we're zipping up another body bag
They say don't resist it, but the force is excessive
And we're zipping up a body bag
It's best to play it safer, shoot first and ask later
Now we're zipping up another body bag
[Verse Two]
We all have bad days but don't die at the end of them
Unless your black in Cleveland
Tanisha Anderson
Diagnosed with bipolar, having a moment at home and her
Family called for medical help getting control of her
But the cops showed up
Threw her in the squad car
She panicked, got grabbed, body slammed to the sidewalk
d**h from restraint in a position that's prone
For Aldridge and Meyers investigation's ongoing
Tragedy in Tulsa, tale of Terrence Crutcher
Stalled on the freeway, cops showed up and he rushed up
Needing some help, but they said "come no closer"
Shot him and k**ed him while the taser was holstered
What a sick world when the terrorist survives
And dead is the black man
That complies
Hands high in the air
Shot him regardless
For Officer Shelby they're filing charges
[Hook]
No one hears complaining that they need better training
Now we're zipping up a body bag
Breaking protocol and immune to the law
Now we're zipping up another body bag
No one hears complaining that they need better training
Now we're zipping up a body bag
Breaking protocol and immune to the law
Now we're zipping up another body bag
[Break: Editorial]
[Verse Three]
Dontre Hamilton
31 and battling
Schizophrenia, waiting on his medicine
Sleeping in the park, cops called before long
They came, checked him out, said he's doing nothing wrong
A third one frisked him, no reasonable suspicion
Not hard to envision
Situation wigged him
He attacked, and Manney shot him 14 times
No charges filed
Shooting ruled justified
Next up is Dayton where they k**ed John Crawford
For playing with a BB gun that was offered
For sale by the Walmart
Up in Beavercreek
Cops shot him twice, no they didn't need to speak
k**ed him with no warning while talking on his cellphone
Tried to force his girl to say the gun was his own
She denied
Then she died
For Officer Williams
Indictment declined
[Hook]
Shooting at the shadows, losing the battle
Now we're zipping up a body bag
Taking instructions, making a**umptions
Now we're zipping up another body bag
