The answer is always the same
From Till to Tamir Rice
You say that boys will be boys
Til you learn the boy’s not white
Then whether they stay or they run
Whether they’re beaten or dead
Soon afterwards your shoulders shrug
As these words run through your head
Why don’t they do as they’re told
When we come out with phones and signs
It’s bullets and tear gas
But armed occupation’s alright
If whites pick up some trash
It seems that you confuse
Which of these two are really thugs
Let me give you a hint: it’s not the ones with melanin
It’s the ones who carry the guns
Why don’t they do as they’re told
Before the epidemic hit
You had your smug refrain
Regurgitating on repeat
Til it burned in our brain
But when the chips fall done
Your words are drowned out by your acts
Black Americans die but the crime you decry
Is your right to not wear a mask
