[Hook: DJD34TH]
They shoot 'em on the blocks
Black kids screaming "Fuck the cops!" (cops)
Cops get the dogs
Hiding coke in the socks (socks)
Thinking they selling them rocks
The police acting unorthodox
[Verse 1:DJD34TH]
They're acting like gods
Placing their shots (shots)
They going in like Mason, call this shit Black Ops
All because these kids got props (props)
They shoot 'em on spot
Don't even bother to follow procedure
I thought they were supposed to be leaders
Not the fucking grim reaper
D.A.R.E. acting like they're preachers
Kill 'em all because they got expensive sneakers
Thinking they're dealers
Now they riding in a hearse
Taking the kids out of the universe
They cover it up, make it look worse
[Chorus: DJD34TH]
I thought they were supposed to protect the youth
But, now we're seeing the truth
I thought they were supposed to protect the youth
But, now I'm showing the truth
[Hook: DJD34TH]
They shoot 'em on the blocks
Black kids screaming "Fuck the cops!" (cops)
Cops get the dogs
Hiding coke in the socks (socks)
Thinking they selling them rocks
The police acting unorthodox
[Verse 2: DJD34TH]
They may try and silence me for my message
Police acting like they got leverage
They ride around with an entourage
Killing black youth walking on the blocks
These violence never stops
They get the dogs
Thinking these kids robbed some shops
All because they got Nikes and Adidas
Now, the parents are sleepless
The police look down on race as a weakness
We should look at it as a strength
The youth just trying to follow trends
The media makes comments
They don't explain the poverty in the projects
The police killing future prospects
[Chorus: DJD34TH]
I thought they were supposed to protect the youth
But, now we're seeing the truth
I thought they were supposed to protect the youth
But, now I'm showing the truth
[Hook: DJD34TH]
They shoot 'em on the blocks
Black kids screaming "Fuck the cops!" (cops)
Cops get the dogs
Hiding coke in the socks (socks)
Thinking they selling them rocks
The police acting unorthodox

Equity and equality: the end result we all — the ones that don't want to live in misery, that is — desire. And naturally we all black and white are schadenfreude or malicious. Here are a few examples
Emmett Till, August 28th, 1955, Mississippi — pulled out of his house in the middle of the night, in front of his mother who had to watch her son be taken from her on the sidelines, for little to no reason at all worth murdering a fourteen-year-old boy. Castrated, mutilated, but also documented for the years to see
Kori Ali Muhammad, black-on-white. Philando Castile, white-on-black. Now these things never come to or remotely remain in the public eye. And the youth is never inspired to take a stand to make a difference. So I will speak for them. The youth, that is, the ones full of innocence. The ones inspired by the things around them, to matter
I can go on forever about the fact that murder is murder whether you're black or white. You should always feel free to voice your opinion, but to act out on these irrational thoughts in every shape or form is disgusting. You cannot, as black or white, call yourself the supreme race when moved out of your comfort by the opposition's color, their skin color. That is no form of being or demonstrating being a supreme being
If you are a supremacist, be unmoved by the opposition. Remain unscathed in the comfort of your own home, in your own realm. Demonstrate care for the youth's future, white or black, black or white. Are you willing to risk your child's future due to your own bigotry? The choice is yours, but your child will not stand for the hate. This generation will be loved, nurtured, heard and understood
[Outro 2: DJD34TH]
So much has occurred in this country because of race and religion. Each day, millions of African-American teens growing up in the United States fear that they will die at the tip of a bullet from a white cop. The government has done little to stop these fears of violence and racism
Trayvon Martin, mixed on black — Trayvon was only seventeen years old when he was shot and killed by supremacist George Zimmerman. The man called into police nearly every time he saw an African-American teen. The police didn't bother to take him seriously and consider him a threat to society
All Trayvon did was walk to the store and buy Skittles and Arizona Iced Tea, and walk home. On his way home, he was racially profiled all because he was black, and wore a hoodie. Zimmerman walked out and confronted Trayvon. Trayvon tried to fight back, but was overpowered
A grown man killed an innocent teenager all because he was black. Zimmerman claimed that he "stood his ground." The first he was tried, he was found not guilty
It took the life of a black youth getting taken to wake this country up and make them see the problems
In the last 14 years, at least thirty people die a month because of that law. Out of that thirty, almost ninety-nine percent are innocent
Please, contact the lawmakers in Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee. Texas, Utah, West Virginia, and tell them to repeal this law and save lives. Thank you
