‘Round Here

You know the only thing we murder is the beats ‘round here,
unless it’s coming from the cops, it’s peace ‘round here
cease fire for the lost ones when we reminisce over you,
raise the fists overdue

The melting pot, red hot spilled over to the streets
blood boiled, and my stomach in a knot ah
some think it’s halloween
jack sparrow with an axe, bow, and an arrow
like that kid on Tatooine
mind playing tricks on the irony of throwing
bricks to buildings, destroy to build things
android sheep meeping like bots
lurking in the trailer, bad actors in a lot 
so everybody got a point, thank god it’s not a gun in your face
or get sprayed by mace oh, what is it about race,
skin color is a rich history you can never erase

the only thing we murder is the beats ‘round here,
unless it’s coming from the cops, it’s peace ‘round here
cease fire for the lost ones when we reminisce over you,
raise the fists overdue

it’s more than a deep memory 
genes dominant, confront the cold enemy
call it role rage by the men in uniform 
cross burning on the lawn of the office, men uniformed
they wanna turn back the clock on the progress
6 million and one ways to protest 
the cold testament, to the four horsemen
prophecy self-fulfilling, wonder why they can’t stand the kneeling
can’t breathe stuffed pocket in a breeze
lint screen full of torn tea bags and forgotten receipts
all crumpled up after getting soaked in defeat
but we made like dried petals and rose to our feet
defiant, still in the grill of adversity
injustice reached a new level of absurdity
we know what a life’s worth, don’t tell us otherwise 
we fight on the other side of televised

only thing we murder is the beats around here,
unless it’s coming from the cops, it’s peace ‘round here
cease fire for the lost souls when we reminisce over you,
raise the fists overdue
