In Self Defense

Police were beating me for no apparent reason,
Other than beating Black men is always in season.

I had no choice, I could not run,
So I did this, I grabbed the officer’s gun.
Now his soul is floating towards the sun,
Pigs thought beating me would be all fun.
I caused trouble not, I bothered no one,
In self defense these racist pigs got done.

It’s reaping time, what comes around goes around,
Police are shocked, two more pigs went down.
“Officer down,” I love hearing that sound,
Two more officers are sleeping on the ground.

Do you think I’m not on federal watch?
Police just looking for alleged terror to botch.

Pigs see Black men as thugs and criminals,
With the media’s help, the message becomes subliminal.

Seeing us all dead is whitey’s greatest lust,
Beware of God’s chastisement, for Allah is just.
