Power Struggle - KKKops

LYRICS

Cops shot him in the back, cops shot him in the head

Cops choked out a man and beat him half to death

You see it all the time on the news

Or on the block that you live as you cruise

They killed Alex Nieto before he went to work

Some gentrifying yuppie called the pigs, what a jerk

Cos they saw a young brother with a tazer at his side

He worked security, still shot him 59 times

Sandra Bland roughed up and arrested

For speaking her mind to a cop she detested

In the morning they find her strung up on a rope

Called it suicide, yeah right, nope!

Eric Garner got choked out for selling cigarettes

Told the cop "I can't breathe" still ended up dead

Freddie Gray got his neck snapped in the back of a van

Because he ran, Baltimore, god damn

[Chorus]

Indite, convict, send those killer cops to jail

The whole damn system is guilty as hell

Fong Lee killed by Minneapolis PD

Met his mom and pops, cried with his family

Police claims the kid had a gun, video shows empty hands as he runs

Bay Area won't forget Oscar Grant

New Years night, the whole train heard a bang

Shot him in the back, while cuffed face down

This is what happens when you're black in the town

A long list of lives that left this earth

By the hands who swore to protect and serve

They got the nerve to take our tax

Yet they shoot us down when we fight back

Protest in peace, they release the dogs

Try to use their courts when they break the law

No faith in the system that protects the rich

And condemns the poor and takes their shit

[Chorus]

Corrupt coppers, all over the world

From Mexico to Mindanao, who do you serve?

Corporations getting down, extracting the earth

Tearing down shanty towns, down in the dirt

Increase police before they gentrify hoods

And the beast to displace people that stood

It's a work in progress I guess

You protest this mess they attack our flesh

Chained up, toed up, profiled, humiliated

Walking down the street, while whiteboys get inebriated

Hate the feeling of being innocent

Cos it means you become a victim

They say some cops ain't that bad

I say it's the system so don't get mad

Bodyguards of the state and market too

Supersedes the needs of me and you
