Horseshoe Gang - Blue On Black Crime lyrics

[Verse 1: Julius] How did I get here? I gotta sit here Gettin' detained, somebody explain Man, this sh** here is crazy Look, I ain't wearing a ratchet, dammit Just wanted to ride on the Bay Area rapid transit What's that you say? Lay flat on the platform? Officer, why you got your knee in my back for? I ain't resisting arrest, ain't trynna fight aggressively You disagree, define 'resist' and 'arrest' to me Cause this is not arrest to me, this cop is not arresting me He's wrestling me, this type of force is beyond excessive, see Why you decide to mess with me? Treating me like an insect Cause me and an insect share the same type of life expectancy? I'm the quiet type, quite polite, my type of life Ain't on no violent path, an*lyse my trajectory Okay, you search me up and down, ain't found no type of weaponry? At this point, shouldn't my damn rights be read to me? Whoever you're looking for, I a**ure you it's not me Ah, sh**; damn you shot me?? Damn, you shot me? [Verse 2] I'm just walking down the street, yup, ever so care-free Trynna taste the rainbow, snackin' on my candy I ain't got no enemies, so nobody thinks of harmin' me I'm peaceful, any gang activity I ain't involved with, see My hoodie's on but my face ain't hard to see My sweater's neither black or white, it's grey Symbol of racial harmony But I hear a noise, I look over my shoulder I hear footsteps, they get closer and closer I see a male figure of Caucasian descent But I don't recognize him, my heart's racin' a bit Will he start chasin' me if I jog or Start taking a different direction? Man, these thoughts makin' me tense I'm just a teenager, not old enough for beer yet Can't grow a beard yet, so it's understandable If I feel a piercing fear when I hear steps Behind me, I fear d**h, spin around like a pirouette Now I'm facing this dude, I'm thinking like "What's up with you, man?" Too skinny to tussle with you man, what's your issue, man? I shouldn't be scared in this neighbourhood watch community Damn, I figured with neighbourhood watch comes unity Whoever you're lookin' for, I a**ure you it's not me Ah, sh**; damn, you shot me?? Damn, you shot me? [Verse 3] Me and my homeboy just strollin' Walkin', finna hit the store Out for a quick trip, like we always did before Police officers stop us, I'm like "Damn, I wonder what this is for?" He said somethin' like "Freeze" or "Hands Up" or "Hit the Floor" When did I sign up to get racially profiled? Show me the documents, am I missing forms or misinformed? Our hands up, me and my partner unarmed Come on, don't shoot, we ain't doin' nobody no harm Yo, whoever you lookin' for, I a**ure you it's not me Ah, sh**; damn, you shot me?? Man, you shot me? [Verse 4] Wait, let's stop, G Let me break it up, let me stop the narrative All these cops embara**in' us, are we not American? Let me speak to this k**er cop in Ferguson Missouri is in misery because of you murderin' That young kid, come on, you ain't have to k** son You need to change, I'm daring you to have the will, son If cops k**in' innocent n***as then I'm alarmed I can name a few more who died at arms There's Eric Garner in New York; John Crawford, Ohio They both died weeks apart, hold up, I got more Ezell Ford, Dante Parker, they lived in Cali We gotta do more than just a f**in' simple rally Make you wanna get trigger happy f** a candle light vigil, I'm anti-vigil, I'm a vigilante I am Mike Brown, but spell my "Mike" "M-I-C" I'm givin' the deceased a way to speak right now Bite my tongue, no, I a**ure you that's not me Who gone aim at change and take a shot? Me Take a shot? Me [Bridge] Yo, this blue on Black crime Man this blue on Black crime Blue on Black crime Man this blue on Black crime Cops shoot the Black kind Like they used to do in past times Like, that's what you do to pa** time? Man this blue on Black crime Yo, this blue on Black crime Blue on Black crime Man this blue on Black crime Cops shoot the Black kind Look how it ruins black lives Man this blue on Black crime I ain't cool with that You cool with that? Fine...
