Freedom


We want freedom in every way

Freedom from being shot everyday

Of course all lives matter

But what about all the senseless act

Of the killing of black males

black males and black females

We're tired of these unprofessional

Intimidated, scared from what reason

of killing us innocent African Americans

We see what happened but of course

We didn't actually see it happen right before us

They get paid with leave for a crime

That doesn't seem to matter much in the community

They say it'll be stopped, but no justice is served

Is this called racisim or did these African Americans

really show threat to these white officers?
