[Intro: 88 Keys]
Yo, this is 88
This is for Amadou Diallo – our tribute
Rest in peace, you still here

[Fre]
Yo, I'm in a brownstone singin' like Brownstone
Bird's eye view of the bodega
No Omega like Rakim
Thinkin about brother Diallo
I find it hard to swallow
'Cause 41 is a hard act to follow
Or is it? It can happen tomorrow
Goes down all the time in some African community
This one just hit closer to home
'Cause it happened in our backyard
This that [*shit*] bring us closer to home
They ask "What you writin fo'? What you writin on that paper fo'?"
Don't ask me nothing, just tell me
Who Howard Safir got it safer for, that's why my raps sour
My peoples screamin "Black power!" and "La Raza!"
From the Bronx, police bustin', it's redemption time

[J-Live]
Now on the squad car, CPR's supposed to be the motto
But in they minds, they be like "Yo, I'ma do Diallo"
I guess master's noose was a bitter pill to swallow
'Cause nowadays, tips ain't the only things that's hollow
Constitution, 41 more holes in it
And cops swingin' sticks like they tryin to win the pennant
And stickin' sticks places where they ashamed to admit it
But that's the straw that broke the camel's back
THEY GON' GET IT!!
