Illustrait - Wake Up (No Justice No Peace) lyrics

[Intro] [Sampled news clip Now the Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Ian Blair is tonight facing calls to resign After leaked Documents revealed a series of tragic errors Which ended in the shooting of an innocent man Did he try to delay the independent investigation of the d**h of Jean Charles De Menezes A move that would have breached the official Police guidelines And was was so much misleading and false information about the young Brazilian man unchallenged until now Lawyers for the De Menezes family are going forward for Sir Ian's resignation There demanding an independent public enquiry accusing the Police of a cover up [Verse 1: Illustrait] Guilty we accused Before been stopped by Police Officers Filthy we not pigs that scream abuse Officer We see all of it, some pretenders Wanna be Police in a uniform Abuse Foreigners confused like its all Politics Bollocks Am defending for the Youth reformed Hound upon the Hoodies worn Young offenders Given up guns surrendered So now a Son remembered Remember Jean Charles De Menezes k**ed by police, not guilty verdict No justice no Police No justice no peace Filmed caught on camera claim terror suspect But he's dead no weapon Its all suspect What to expect when there's only us left Lesson claim we all threats So we all next Life became cut throat like a knife to your neck Next step held for question at best Held for questions Laws put in place Stop n search if you look suspicious Just wait watch how it gets vindictive [Sampled news clip] Exclusive we air for the first time surveillance footage Connected to the shooting of Sean Bell Bell was the unarmed African American Man k**ed by undercover Police In the hail of 50 bullets in Queens New York 2 weeks ago He died hours before he was supposed to be Married Two of his Friends were severely injured [Verse 2: Illustrait] November 25th 2006 Police shot Sean Bell dead seen the pictures Undercover Police pulled the triggers Gun shots UNDERCOVER Police are k**ers Another life lost unholy On his Wedding day shot 50 times Didn't even get the Holy Matrimony Police claim accidental Balony False claims made against Bell sorry Blow me yet another story Another Funeral ceremony Testimony that's how Justice sells a story Testimony that's how Justice sells a story Unforgiven how the laws try control me But the law hold the lies for a cover story Gotta voice to be heard Don't hold back if u care We all wanna live in peace & harmony But there no peace if the Coppers can harm me See weapons began with soldiers in an army Now weapons are sold for an armoury [Sampled news clip] A 17 Year old Black Kid was unarmed & shot by this Guy George Zimmerman Who took it upon himself to do a Neighborhood Watch in his community Whether it was authorised or not What the Cops decided to do was Not to do a toxicology report on Zimmerman to see if he was high or drunk Or if he done something wrong is what you usually do if someone shoots someone right And they didn't do a criminal background check on him Instead the did something that was unusual They did a criminal background check on the 17 Year Old kid who was shot They did a toxicology report on the kid that was shot To me that was an outrage and they did not arrest Zimmerman for 44 days To me that there said was the Authorities there in that local Community a**umed that Trayvon Martin The 17 Year Old African American Kid was guilty [Verse 3: Illustrait] How could it be Zimmerman acquitted He k**ed a man well he k**ed a teen Admitted it and got set free No justice no peace Trayvon rest in peace Can't believe it acquitted This is far from forgiveness I put my tears on everything i've written For a child lost lost of innocence Got me thinking of a family mourning There son putting roses down at there Sons wake Every morning Age 17 staring at Heavens Gates Hope his Guardian angels there keep him safe He's gone, I think of the families & I pray How could an innocent life end this way Going to the shops for skittles with your hood up To be k**ed cos wearing a hood huh These laws don't seem good enough When Milllions of innocents die and the k**ers walk free Not what it ought to be, some War On Peace More like more war no peace This is not what my Mum taught me Now its The Innocent Die The Guilty Get Set Free Where is The Justice When Innocence Rests In Peace Its Just Us tell me wheres there's resistance is it just me The law ain't worth sh** in fact its worthless Hood Up for Trayvon Hoods up for the innocents gone Politics all a disguise your missing the wrongs The law Ain't worth the paper its written on [Outro] If the innocent become the victims in the times far gone We gotta remain vigilant keep your mind strong
