Movies:
You know what I hate ,
Black movies about cop shootings
They be front row for the movies
But not there when we need them
Look around they documenting our struggles
Just for their new hustle
And you eat it up like it’s a new lunchable
Politics got the ritz feeling unstoppable
Got them asking us for ID’s
We already got to fear for being stopped and murdered by the police
Now they calling the feds on us just for living in nice neighborhoods
Most cops pull up and start arresting or just start shooting
We didn’t do nothing officer leads to us face down on the pavement
Knee pressed against our necks
Dead in 9 minutes
The pay off is tremendous
But the punishment is barely there
The trauma of my death becomes another kids fear
But in a couple of years this will be a movie for everyone to see
At least my dying breath will be captured in a movie
