lyrics

These kids are having a hard time trying to like you,
Or even caring if you live or die
Too many cousins, too many uncles lives
Ruined just doing your job:
Top-down terrorism for the maintenance
Of a racist empire
“Fuck the police” is the only time
I hear them say “fuck.”
They’re trying to sound tough
Mumbled like a prayer, soft and sacred
A spell to give them strength

Tensions rise when you come around
Relax, be cool
Their mothers taught them to keep their heads down
Yes sir, No sir
Instruments of torture pass at eye level
And they know not to give you a reason
They’re living a life sentence, born guilty
Any passing glance in the bathroom mirror
Serves as that reminder
How long can their hate and fear keep them safe?
