Learned to Fear
I’ve long lost respect for the name
The officers play a dangerous war game
Their innocence the media seems to feign
Yet their evil pumps through the black lives veins
A bullet passes through their thin shirts
Making every other person on alert
“It shouldn’t matter to you, you’re just a kid!”
Yet the words seem run through some other kid’s lips
The sound of their pain and agony of their betrayal
Yet the “role models” don’t give a good portrayal
They’re in the gear that they’d use to stop a riot
The world suddenly grows so quiet
They don’t realize the mistake they’ve made
While their forces hold black lives under the blade
It’s as if they reward racism, the killer was paid
For the murder of Mike that he had made
All the other people just say to forget
But how can I forget the threat
Of every single man, holding a gun to their heads
Their lives are hanging by some thin threads
So I have learned to fear of officer’s threats.
