COLD DECISION FOR COLD BODIES
Paint is Red
Paint it Dead
For fear of Black Worlds
Increasing numbers of Boys and Girls
Casting off God’s Shame
Accepting the Devil’s Blame
Badges cold and Blue
Can do whatever the FUQ they want to
No bleeding of emotion
For blood shed in a commotion
Passionless in the Law
When human-less decisions creating Awe
Still a part of the American fabric
Standing silent surveying the havoc
Thick in association cased by a decision
This is American History by way of revision
Now is the time we all should appeal
That our justice in surviving will grow to reveal
That Black life taken should come with a fee
And our Fear of a White World will cease to be
Going beyond blame
Beyond the media Shame
It is a matter of response
Reacting to life and living in African nuance
(my heart goes out to the Bell Family on this day of tragedy and Injustice)

if it's one thing i've learned about all of the gangsta movies i've ever seen it is this
fear works lol
in order to gain respect someone has to fear you or love you
and machievelli said that he would rather be feared than loved
