Lead Poisoning |
Rise like coyotes |
Rise like coal blackened thunder |
The fleet has left |
While the admiral slumbered |
Vigilante Nocturno |
Test the chains |
Gnaw the screws |
We are many |
They are few |
Check it |
It’s lead poisoning |
I live in a land of black ropes, white justice |
As long as she wear the blindfold, I can’t trust this |
I’m imagining what can bring such hate |
This phobia or dislike, grounds for a debate |
Some say it’s trigger happy, I say it’s lead poisoning |
Somethin' that’s deeply rooted in official embroidering |
The difference? |
We went from water hoses to bullets |
But the valve or trigger, just a different figure to pull it |
Murdered by the state like the cousin of the John the Baptist |
As if Black youths aren’t nothing but target practice |
Overindulgence of power, a monstrous binge |
This creates anger, make me want to seek revenge |
You invade our protests, guns and heavy armor |
Riot shields and yielding a badge of dishonor |
Just a disguised version of the KKK |
Kops Killing Kids about seven a day |
Lead- lead- lead poisoning |
Lead- lead- lead poisoning |
Lead- lead- lead poisoning |
Lead- lead- lead poisoning |
Lead- lead- lead poisoning |
Lead- lead- lead poisoning |
It’s lead poisoning |
Rise |
Rise |
Rise |
Rise |
In all reality, Police Brutality cause too many casualties |
It starts from the improper training, brainwashing of their faculty |
Suppose to serve and protect, not disturb and disrespect |
With six niggas on my Curb face down inside the projects |
A long-term effect they done got on my community |
They killed Little Bill but the badge gave them immunity |
Rodney King caught a stampede on TV |
Now they chokin' niggas out 'til he’s like «I can’t breathe» |
I used to watch Starksky and Hutch and Baretta and Adam-12 and such |
Dreamin' I could be a cop when I grow up |
I would see you in my neighborhood and I would trust you |
But now I understand why Eazy-E is like «fuck you!» |
Lead- lead- lead poisoning |
Lead- lead- lead poisoning |
Lead- lead- lead poisoning |
Lead- lead- lead poisoning |
Lead- lead- lead poisoning |
Lead- lead- lead poisoning |
It’s lead poisoning |
Rise |
Rise |
Rise |
Rise |
Rise |
Rise |
Rise |
Rise |
Rise like coyotes |
Rise like coal blackened thunder |
The fleet has left |
While the admiral slumbered |
Vigilante Nocturno |
Test the chains |
Gnaw the screws |
We are many |
They are few |
