Say Their Names

Legends never experience death

That means weapons that's forged against us won't get near to success

We're feared and we're blessed with PTSD serious stress

Cause knees in the rears of our necks is stealing our breath

That's why we've BEEN screaming BLM and FTP

Way before CNN and MSNBC

Waging war's the freshest recipe so let's get free

Not Televised but it's injected in an em-pee-three

You see there's flaws in the laws like probable cause

Suspicious, fit the description, and impossible odds

Murder was the cases they gave us, false was the charge

I shot the sheriff, ranking officer, and also the Sarge

We're in a Stop & Frisk apocalypse

Tear gas and rubber bullets vs. rock and bricks

The same shackles used for slavery now lock your wrists

To put us back on the plantation is why the cops exist

Incarceration of the masses by the classless, racists, and fascists

Baseless blatantly backwards hatred aimed at our blackness

Neighbors raising a black fist pain is major and maximum

It's not a game of captions "Say Their Names" with your actions

Real life feels like a movie plot

Your duty is not to brutally abuse the block

Leon Ford got accused to be some dude Lamont

Then a routine stop led to teen shot

Now Say Their Names

Now Say Their Names

Now Say Their Names

Now Say Their Names

Can't stop the attack

How you defend it when they sending seven shots to your back

Delayed pension paid suspension wouldn't cause him to act

Any different if his wrists just get a possible slap

Where are the consequences

When public servants murder the unarmed and defenseless

Good people "on both sides" beyond offensive

Can't be on the fences use your Common Senses

At some point, silence is a betrayal

In these times when simply driving or trying to live is fatal

With racial profiling just trying to live can fail

Some even died inside just trying to find the bail

Why are they so mad over that work "Matter"

When we're three times more likely observe that absurd data

They say stay positive but it only gets worse after

That's just scratching the surface I'm serving the first chapter

Too many cogs in the system

In Wisconsin they got two cops that belong in a prison

This song's for all of the martyrs on a posthumous mission

Say Breonna there's no longer an anonymous victim

Now Say Their Names

Now Say Their Names

Now Say Their Names

Now Say Their Names
