Hands up Easily temperamental, dangerously equipped Impossibly avoidable by provin' their contempt Bastardizing the justice and livin' above the law Black and blue don't get along, blue just wants 'em dead and gone Empty your clips on the victim And then you look the other way Your nation will crumble And you'll just look the other way Got a hoodrat and the alley cat Heard the city got a kid hesitatin' to leave work At the right time in the wrong place, got served An extendo not a Miranda, head first Get down, already knocked out face on the ground We're at war with the ones who protect and serve Empty your clips on the victim And then you look the other way Minorities perish And even though he got his hands up Caged like animals Wound up and released with their badges Brutalize our streets, savages How many have to die to put an end to crooked swine? And you just look the other way Empty your clips on the victim And then you look the other way Your nation will crumble And you just look the other way They will not fear the system anymore They will not cower like they did before This cannot be ignored The machine will not hold us down
