POLICE BRUTALITY
POLICE BRUTALITY
Diallo , Dialo – similar to Steven Biko
Diallo, Diallo – you told me the murder
was an error
Wyclef Jean song keeps ringing in my
head
A blackman was shot 41 times
Like a lot of our black brothers and
sisters who died in the hands of police
brutality
I hear our brothers and sisters crying
about police brutality today
Our fore-fathers were victims of this
system
A system which was created to be an
enemy of a blackman
You still want to separate police from
criminals
I say they are the bloody murderers in
blue uniform
Ruthless killers
Blood spillers
Enemies of a blackman
We celebrated our freedom
We said power to the people
But today we are being killed
Today we are being abused
Abused by the hand that was supposed to
protect us
Evil man in blue uniform will never
change
This system was created for us
We can cry and complain
Police are more dangerous than criminals
Or criminals are dangerous because the
are in our police system
Evil men in blue uniform will never
change
