Loud & Clear!

491 people killed! Between January and June.
A lot of lives lost. Yeah! They died way too soon.
Government on high alert, protesters filled with malice.
It is a tragedy what happened in Dallas.
Police abusing their power, taking lives of the blacks,
People are fed up so they launch ambush attacks.
Will they even learn when they kill blacks in the streets?
We protest to change policy, saying we're all about peace.
It only takes one to say, "That's it." Takes law into his hands.
Pull out guns that they grabbed from their waistband.
It's despicable! But I guess you can blame Micah
To arm himself up and become like the American sniper.
Let's face the harsh reality: they kill us, we bow in silence.
They'll never change policy after they see more violence.
105 of police killings have been caught on video.
Police pulling triggers back, hmm! Trying to be a hero.
Officers are sworn to protect the law, layin' their lives on the line.
But kill unarmed black men every single time!
What does it have to take? How many blacks have to die?
Before they say enough is enough and start asking why?
Why you unloading the clip and shooting unarmed people?
Why charges ain't being filed? I guess justice ain't equal.
We want change, but what if change don't come?
What will we do then? Officers will still shoot their gun.
They got body cameras, but let's lay the facts on the table:
You can't gather the facts of a shooting if the camera's disabled.
