Finger on the Scale

Every time a Brown mom cries It makes me wanna wipe the tears from her eyes For real Everything that man made fails They wanna do this like The Handmaid's Tale They put their finger on the scale to lock me in a prison cell Or throw me in a jail with no bail Every time a Black boy dies I wanna wipe the tears from his mother's eyes It's time to rise and really organize Strategize against these right-wing lies Get on the left side of history Fighting for human rights from Bed Sty to Sicily From the West side to Kissimmee, the right wing be dissin' me Cuz I'm telling the cops to stop stop-and-frisking me But they're not listening, they're dog-whistling So we cop-watch, cuz time's ticking like a stopwatch They incentivize the rise of ghetto youth being penalized It's even worse than you realize They demonize us and criticize us At this point, there's nothing they can do to surprise us They despise us, you can hear it in their rhetoric Truly pathetic like involuntary celibates Delicate snowflakes, it hurts them when we fight back And strike back, right-wingers don't like that Cuz equality for us, to them feels like oppression I'm speaking with aggression cuz I'm trying to teach a lesson, any questions?
