Long-armed legions burning crosses

After they have worked their forces

Hearken back to bygone days

Ripping open the wrong page

Hollow-points tearing through domes

No-knock raids destroying homes

Athletes kneeling as they seethe

Man in shackles cannot breathe

Freedom-not something you can bargain for

Reform-written in lies swept off the Senate floor

Itching to fight

Liberty's end

Hide in plain slight

They're not your friend

Protect-they are the dogs of property

Service-guns that they point at you and me

Say their names

Brett Hankison-Rot in Hell

Amber Guyger-Still in jail

Derrick Chauvin-Pressed his luck

Phillip Brailsford-You are fucked

You strung your bow to say all lives matter

We proved you wrong with blue blood spatter

Fuck your twelve, drop them in a beer batter

'Fore we serve them up on a fried pork platter

Fuck you-why is it this that we'll defend?

Just think-what sort of message does it send?

And without thought

He pressed his knee

What Grossman wrought

Killology

Riot-speak in the language of unheard

Tear down-tools, institutions, laws, and words

Your budget is going down

Cuz we are rising up

Run fast from our town

Cuz we have had enough

Our wallets, not your trough

Our taxes, not your teat

Percentage tipped us off

To the spouses you have beat

Burn down the pen

This is the end

No justice, no peace

Defund the police

Shut up-whine but nobody fucking cares

Off-mark-how can they be so unaware?

Geared up for war

Geneva cries

Necks to the floor

Innocence dies

All cops-reek of the shit where they wallow

Bastards-drunk on the carnage that they sow

Tamir Rice, Darius Tarver

Michael Brown and Eric Garner

Daniel Shaver, Sarah Wilson

Atatiana Jefferson

Sandra Bland, Philando Castile

Jacob Blake, and Paul O'Neal

Stephon Clark and Alton Sterling

Dallas weeps for Botham Jean
