The shootings and police traffic stops gone bad have left me shaking my head, like everybody else.  This song is about the emotion felt by the mothers and fathers, and brothers and sisters of those killed or left traumatized.  As I wrote this the Daunte Wright and Caron Nazario cases were in the news.

Streets Echo

Oooo mama gonna cry her fight
Oooo baby taken in the night
Oooo brown man on his knees
Oooo streets echo empty pleas
Oooo-aah  to protect and serve

Oooo slayed in the flashing light
Oooo cynical streets ignite
Oooo brown man takes a knee
Oooo mourning for his liberty
Oooo justice for all
