[Introduction: News Caster]
The images from this weekend of violence in the streets, stores being looted, and riot police with dogs barking and charging at protesters seem like they are out of another era. But this outburst of violence is going on in present day St. Louis Missouri. It all started with the fatal shooting by police of an unarmed black teenager
[Verse 1: D. Lynch]
We speak the way we feel, they don’t do us no favors
A life was lost, the cops gettin' no waivers
Let them all know we ain’t taking no favors
Gettin' yours pig, yeah sooner or later
It’s on every channel now, just look at the news
It’s a civil war yo, what does the president do?
He sends out tanks, riot tools to be used
Against poor people tired of being abused
This nation’s askew it feels like there ain’t a thing we can do
Watch our brothers die put they name on a tattoo
Run and join the navy, you got something to prove
It’s on every channel now, just look at the news
A kid’s dead in the streets and vengeance is due
Screaming for blood, a head for the world to view
They coming for death ‘cause vengeance is due
Better look in the mirror 'cause that person is you
[Hook: D. Lynch]
As we get closer in, better hold ya wife
Light went to dark, live the coldest nights
Could lose my life on the roll of the dice
Death is just a shadow on Ferguson Nights
