CHALLENGER'S RAP

• (come on officer!)
• (why you gotta treat that man like that?)
• (so what if he's black, don't mean nothing!)
• (come on man, he's got a daughter in the car!)
• (you gonna make her watch the murder of her own father?)
• (i thought America had learned her lesson)
• (Guess not)
• Okay
• Shout out to T.I Harris and Watty Jay
• showin love in a city of thugs and all the hate
• This the home of the free and the land of the brave
• So why my people getting shot up, or locked in a cage?
• I can't walk on down the sidewalk with officers up in my way
• got the gloks and the shotguns up
• and pepper spray would sting less
• than the sting to the broken heart of my mother
• No disrespect Dr King, i don't think we could ever love one another.
• They call us coons that they be hunting for sport
• Hunger games up in my neighborhood Don't i have a voice?
• Make your choice America. The fight ain't over just yet.
• they shut our voices down like they got all their knees in our necks
• (He can't breath!) Why'd he have to die to make you believe, officer?
• Why you ain't got no respect for me, officer?
• Do i got to walk down streets at night to blend in?
• And make it in my home before the bullets be goin flying?
• Go ahead, take off my hood! Cause i'm suspicious
• White man be killing and killing like KKK with a mission
• And politicians they be kissing the rumps like a disease
• Is the dream gone with the wind like Donald Trump's hair in the breeze?
• Now they be wanting us to get on our knees
• They are the conquerors, they don't hear POW's pleads
• instead of putting our hands up, we stretch em wide
• but still they kill us down like South African Apartheid
• Im only 17 years old, got my life together
• fearing that one day i'll be filled with lead and metal
• I'm telling you, im getting tired of the despair on the news
• about a killer making chaos, got a stupid excuse.
• Now that kid's name was, wait it don't matter to you!
• Cause right now, he's just another kid buried to you.
• Even though we always had our heads and our hands raised high
• our dead brothers will number all of the stars in the sky!
• You spell America Ameri- KKK-A
• Screw the police like we NWA
• I ain't no NWA, i'm just a black man with a mind
• but you killing me faster than a lazy man kills time
• there's a red line drawn, its edged deep in the sand
• makes me wonder why you love it when you kill another man
• i raised my hand, but my plans in the sand are thru
• So go back to your tally mark and add another kill to yourself
• Yo Micheal Brown, later or now, wish i could meet you in death
• We only got the testimony of the killer and not the killed
• Contract of freedom, being succesfull wasn't part of the deal
• You killed another one! I hope that's on your conscience
• The white man strikes again, and i hear crying again
• They killing us back to back, this ain't no Drake world tour
• we earned our freedom from birth, so why we still gotta die for it?
• Black vs white like a old school film production
• Why get on 12's when we still out there killing each other?
• Probably got a brother stationed up in Iraq
• They say go back to Africa, my parents say don't look back to the past
• But the past is life lessons to grab
• Officer crashed up in the scene and dragged the girl outta class like trash
• Probably saw a rabid dog in the seat, that's why you slapped up on the cuffs
• and put the beast on the leash
