Be careful, here comes the badge, the jara
Be careful, here it comes, cover your face
The rights of a human being
They were violated by another human being
Some police officers took advantage of the
Authority that the people gave them
Trained to take a man without violating rights
They abused their authority, they beat a man without mercy
We the people who gave them
Authority, anyway, we can take it away
That's what I saw, what I'm telling you, it happened like that
He caught a nightstick lick to the brain piece
It's a new day but it's the same beast hopin' that the pain cease
He hopin that your brainsleak
On the concrete from his heat or from his feet
Is he s'ose tomaintain peace or is it beef
Like a t-bone steak they like to seebones break
The way they cuff you, the way they hobble through laws
With his foot in your back screamin probable
'Cause not only do flawsoccur when you serve and protect
You swerve and project bullets That don't deserve to connect
To bystanders and perpetrators of alesser crime
Evil that you shine will never stand the test of time
Let's define brutality in its entirety force unnecessarily
Some think it's a fantasy I think it's a tragedy
How we let the people who we call protectors inflict and oppress us
