Rest In Power |
| Sanford Police Department |
| There’s a real suspicious guy, he’s up to no good |
| Rest in power, rest in paradise |
| If I could change matters, I would spare a life |
| 'Cause lives matter, there’s clearly nothing as dear as life |
| You have become a symbol in the spirit life |
| Rest in power, rest in paradise |
| If I could change matters, I would spare a life |
| 'Cause lives matter, there’s clearly nothing as dear as life |
| You have become a symbol in the spirit life |
| They say that, uh, time heals all wounds. |
| It does not |
| In America, one tradition that lasts |
| Is black blood woven into the fibers o' the flag |
| Not addressing the problems of the past |
| To nowhere fast, but following the path |
| So called «leaders» on hire for the Klan |
| Still rapin' and settin' fire to the land |
| Well that’s the climate, how can I become a man |
| If survival is a triumph and we got the underhand? |
| Listen: |
| One killer, one child, one weapon |
| The shooter was unthreatened, seventy-one seconds |
| So many unanswered questions, I see reflections of myself |
| I feel like in fatherhood we are connected |
| Too long before the shooter was arrested |
| So wrong, worldwide, we’ve been affected |
| To them it’s real, sins of the father remembered still |
| For every Trayvon Martin, there was an Emmett Till |
| You killed my son |
| How many more kids will we wait for them to kill? |
| My tears collectin' like raindrops on the windowsill |
| If the wounds heal, the memories never fade |
| I wonder if you’re in heaven’s eleventh grade |
| Six thousand two hundred and thirty days |
| Too young of an early age, such evil and worldly ways |
| The thing in which we believe, the way in which we behave |
| The way in which we’ve evolved, the monster that we became, listen: |
| Rest in power, rest in paradise |
| To all the babies too young to have had to pay the price |
| 'Cause lives matter, there’s clearly nothing as dear as life |
| You have become a symbol in the spirit life |
| Rest in power, rest in paradise |
| Know as long as you still got somebody here to fight |
| Your lives matter, there’s clearly nothing as dear as life |
| You have become a symbol in the spirit life |
