Shooting The Stars |
| Mmm, mmm, Yeah, yeah, |
| try to lock you down, yeah, yeah |
| Shooting the stars, lock you away for nothing |
| Blood on the streets, |
| Seems like they do what they feel |
| I’ve seen a silent man thrown in a riot van, |
| hands behind his back strapped tight keeps him quiet but he wasn’t ever violent, |
| officers scratching off their numbers so they can’t be identified or ever get |
| in trouble. |
| Please understand the struggle it’s like no where there’s the love, |
| how’s a kid supposed to feel when he’s always getting stopped 'cause the area |
| he’s from might gun you down if you run. |
| Shooting the stars, lock you away for nothing |
| Blood on the streets |
| Seems like they do what they feel |
| Shooting the stars, lock you away for nothing |
| Blood on the streets |
| Seems like they kill when they feel |
| And they can. |
| Try and lock away an individual, but they can never lock and |
| chain your spiritual. |
| Your body may be trapped but your minds never stopped and I wing all that block, |
| for them years all them months. |
| It don’t make sense when I see rapists getting sentenced less then men who rob, |
| to send their kids to school with food in their belly and a roof over their |
| head and sheets to keep them warm in their bed. |
| They shot an innocent man they, on the tube last year, |
| so tell us how we’re not supposed to fear if I get stopped and searched for the |
| way that I look and then charged with a crime that was never ever due. |
| I’ve seen my mum crying tears when they mention the year behind bars for what |
| the said that I did but they could never convict. |
| Yeah, they can kill you and get away with it. |
| Or take Oscar ran off a chain and while two officers hold him down, |
| shoot him in the back of the head like no body ever hears a sound, |
| yeah like no body ever hears a sound. |
| And two officers hold him down and shoot him in the back of the head, |
| like no body’s ever gonna hear a sound. |
| No, no, shooting the stars, lock you away for nothing |
| Blood on the streets |
| Seems like they do what they feel |
| Shooting the stars, lock you away for nothing |
| Blood on the streets |
| Seems like kill when they feel |
| Ooh ooh Ohh, yeah yeah yeah, down |
| Seems like they kill when they feel. |
