lyrics

We are all one people
We are all one race
We are all on gender
We are all one face
But there's a governing body protecting the streets
They are the shepherds, and we are their black and white sheep
Bah bah black sheep have you any drugs?
No sir, no sir, please don't raise your gun
And the genocide continues and their crimes go unheard
Because justice lies in those who protect and serve

I was told to protect you
But only white meat like me
Ill leave scars on your back
You must obey the police
Your skin tells me you're a threat
I'll put you in hand cuffs and throw you away
Take you from home to our prison
Once again, you're our slave

To protect and serve
We are here for you
You must stay in line
You must tell the truth
How can we trust them
When all they say is lies
Taught from a young age to not fear you
Yet you instill fear into today's youth
Well we aren't afraid to say you aren't loyal
And we'll fight a war on American soil

My badge gives me all the power I want
I am above my own law
I will leave you dead for whatever I seem fit
And the color of your skin is enough for me to bring you to a crawl
Why don't you trust us?
(How can we trust you)
We will say no more that the truth
(You only say lies)
We are the ideal humans
(You are evil humans)
We have good intentions
(You have evil intentions)
We are here to protect you
(You are here to divide us)
