Mister Officer, Mister Officer
Y'all are killin' in us
Mister Officer
What if that was my brother?
What if that was my dad?
What if that was my uncle?
What if that was all I had?
Y'all supposed to be the heroes though
You know, protect and serve, not takin' us off of the Earth
I see the police and it fuck with my nerves
They pullin' me over, I'm showin' 'em both of my hands
And watchin' my words, I got insurance, no warrants
He pointin' his gun like he wanna blow it
Tell me why we gotta die? He went for his wallet, reach for a gun
You think that some shit he'd try? On a cop?
He can't breathe and you still chokin' 'em, man, why would he lie?
Your knee in his neck, you ain't gotta do all that
It's one against five, RIP

What if that was my uncle? (What if was my sister, yeah?)
What if that was all I had? (Ooh woah, oh woah)
They put that badge on us and feel like they better than us (They do)
Right now it's seemin' like they job is to make it tragic for us (It is for sure)
Crazy part about it, it only happen to us (To us)
They brought us here against our will, now they ain't happy with us (Huh?)

Now they talking 'bout be cool, no
