Break the Chains

I started writing this song back in 2015 and here we are I don't know what to say So let me tell you a story Warning how we live in a police state full of gory and mourning Media using scare tactics To make you fear black kids And the catch is, you only hear distractions Insidious acts In cities of blacks While committees axe Any peace to relax But the truth is, oppression isn't done to one color The system wants you to have resentment towards another Listen, this whole madness, it's done to our whole mother Mother earth that it is Politicians talk about our children's future But only end up hurting the kids We've been made to think That law enforcement has our back But it seems like their goal is to attack And stab us in the back as a pack Now don't me get wrong some cops are good Yet as a whole They're here to uphold The violence in the hood They show up to instigate and spread hate Say how they're only doing their job Indeed they are They work for the mob The elite, shadow government Whatever it's called They take orders to give orders Only to create more borders Some like to say that only a few cops are corrupt But really they're the rotten apples of the bunch Sure if some serious shit goes down Or if there's a shooting at a mall The cops will be who you'll call This doesn't mean that the department Is no longer darkened and dishonest It's bombarded with corruption In their closet From the captain, lieutenant, and the sergeant It's fuckin ridiculous How people are so oblivious On how the system is treating us Trying to keep racism alive And the hateism to divide They're so meticulous and frivolous To limit us There's enough to go around But forced to believe in littleness While deceiving us To think they have a reputation of benevolence But really they make you and me feel ambivalence These cops will beat the shit out of you Break your ligaments And leave you without an ambulance You gotta ask yourself, who do these cops serve? The people or the elite? Swear to protect? Protect whom? So I guess we're to simply respect any officer Whether he's beating a girl and won't get off of her? The law of fear is what they enforce Hence why they use their force to reinforce How we're supposed to respect a bunch of uniforms To coerce us to endorse their violent forms Or else we'll end up as a bunch of corps A swarm of cops show up For one dude who's unarmed And they wanna act like They're all tough and all hard It's like a group of high schoolers Picking on a little kid As if this now makes them All strong and legit You want to be a cop or a detective 'Cause you watched Blue's Clues Want to stand for justice but refuse To have your video of harassment up on Youtube No pun, but I'm fed up With these police atrocities Enacting fear to simply uphold Their police policies Oppressing the people they claim to protect They blame then jet So how do you expect Us as a society to progress When they don't maintain respect? Yes, it's true cops do loose Their lives in unfortunate ways And my heart does go out But to be so trigger happy And get a badge as an outlet For your aggressive ways And get paid to slay Is straight up insane What about a psychological evaluation? Oh, but it's cool to shoot someone unarmed And be so pathological Then have a paid vacation? So is it these cops just aren't Truly being trained? Or do they get a free pass to harass And let it rain? Must be the ladder Yet you got people saying blue lives matter? When did they care about pulling An innocent black man off his stool eating While a bunch of white folk begin beating? We live in a country Where you can't even be black And walk down the cracks in the street Without a cop assuming He's walking around with crack and weed But what about Wall Street And politicians who steel from society And end up with their big bonus? Oh I guess we're to turn a blind eye? That's fuckin bogus And we're just to sit by And listen to another lie From our POTUS? We've been lied for far too long And it's best we stay cautious While doing our best to stay conscious Some white folks may want me to stop this Thinking blacks are thugs When the real thugs are sitting up in the Oval Office Up in the UN, the financial headquarters And up in Congress See they want you to think It's only blacks that loot While ignoring whites Usually ignite riots Still standing on the black man with your boot And the truth you mute The media won't talk about how the CIA Funneled crack and cocaine Into the streets of minorities To disrupt any and all change Keeping them afraid of authority Infiltrating their brain To keep them insane So when you say "People of color Are mostly drug dealers and a bunch of thugs" Realize it's the white man in a suit That's actually dealing the drugs I'm all for non-violence But what do expect when You've been strangled For years to remain silenced? At some point you gotta fight back And while you're being strangled Whether you're white or black Saying things like "It's all peace and love" Won't all of a sudden make it go away 'Cause life don't work like that Now I'm not saying to fight anger with anger But anger can be turned into passion And that passion can be used for love And understanding that is major So when a race of people have been abused and oppressed When their rights have been refused and suppressed And when they've been exploited and used in the press Viewed as less We come to a point Where we see their lives haven't mattered Their dreams, hopes, and lives have been shattered So what's so hard to grasp When one says black lives matter Yes statistically there are more Whites who are shot by police But I guess we gotta ask the CIA And their media partners Who uphold their policy Of creating division As to why there is no honesty Probably, because their motive is to push Disharmony and non-equality And I say to anyone hiding behind racism Lay to rest your insane ideology Your warped psychology And stop hiding behind fallacy Thinking a different color Means a completely different biology No shit all lives matter but we gotta see There's been a colony of hatred In our democracy In every corner of this geography Targeting black lives At all times And now is the time to end this animosity I can keep talking till I'm blue in the face But it's time we realize We're all just one human race So you see, forgive yourself And forgive those who've done you harm Remember there ain't no true revolution If we all don't come from the heart So if we want true change And a new day Let today be that day where we start And it starts with us Taking a stand against injustice You can try and fight the truth all you want But a lie is a lie and the truth just is It's a wake up revolution Let us rise together
