"Police Me Or Shoot Me?"
(Composed by Clairon Haynes. Copyright by Clairon Haynes 2014)
Oh police, are you here to protect me,
Or to gun me down in your shooting spree??
Unarmed I surrender to you on bending knees,
Begging you oh don't kill me please!
Although I pleaded for your mercy,
Your six bullets cold bloodedly executed me....
You've logged the fourth in my brain,
Police brutality to the forefront again.
Why do you abuse your power?
Why do you target my black brother?
Why do you racially profile them to fear?
Do you really care about their family's tear?
Police, police, surrender thy arrogance,
God sees your injustice from a distance.
Your safety not threatened why pull the trigger?
My tax dollar pay you to keep streets safer?
Now I tiptoe the streets in fear and panic,
Afraid of the police? Isn't this ironic?
You've now become my greatest enemy,
Killing me in your shooting spree.
How can you fight and keep crime at a minimal
When you're the biggest criminal?
You manipulate the law to avoid prosecution,
They hide you away, send you on vacation.
Is this really fair to our communities,
Social unrest instead of keeping its peace?
Is the justice system on the victim's side?
Or the police's wrong they cover up and hide?
Enough of this senseless killings of our youths,
We need justice, may this case speaks the truth.
If guilty the culprit must be prosecuted,
Face jail time or even be executed.
No more covering up for police officers,
Let's send a clear message to all offenders.
If you break the law you must pay like me,
Pay the price with transparency!
I want to have a relationship with you,
Community policing is the solution, true.
How can I cooperate with you
When you prejudge me before a crime I do?
To the good police I say thanks to you,
For being a role model in the job you do.
Police are you here to protect me,
Police me please don't shoot me!
