Down

Boom!

One shot in Marco's back 

His mother holds her hands over her ears 

Cop claimed he did it out of fear 

 

Boom!

Second shot hits him in the shoulder 

His mother covers her eyes 

Cop claimed Marco was twice his size 

 

Boom!

Third shot hits him in the leg

His mother could no longer scream 

Cop claimed Marco was involve In some scheme 

 

Boom!

Fourth shot hits him in the head 

His mother can't even give him a hug

Cop claimed Marco was a thug

 

Boom!

Marcos is mother is now left destroyed

She stares at her son in his closed casket

Cop claimed Marco had cause a big Racket

 

You see his life ended in a flash 

Because white and Black races clash 

The injustice is fine 

In the eyes of the white man drinking white wine 

 

The justice system will help they claim 

But nothing changed the case remained the same 

Marcos is mother is left to sob

Because of a cop who thought he was doing his job

 

Justice will prevail 

The cop will be put in jail 

Marco will make sure of that 

Because karma always gets everyone back
