about

Police Brutality. Per capita, Colorado has some of the worst.
This one's for those like Mr Rodney King/
Got beat by the cops each one of them walked/
Nightmarish American Dreams/
This one's for those like Senor Frank Lobato/
No joking around they broke in his house/
Killed him and act like it's not so/
This one's for those like Park Hill's Child Paul/
They blasted on sight straight smashing his rights/
While his mother watched him fall/
This one's for those like Aliou Diallo/
In their eyes being sodomized was protocal/
That's something I can't swallow/
This one's for those like you and you and you/
We're talking about the boys in blue that are out to destroy you too/
This one's for those....This one's for those....This one this one this one...this one's for those...

lyrics

Blue and red flashing, initialy passion-smashing/
Masking a power complex that's ever lasting/
Self interest the only gain, they deem, to ever be worth it/
Civil servants whose purpose is not to make the world perfect at first it's/
Innocent in a sense, I know, something makes them crooked/
Bent out of shape, bend down to the apes and don't ever push it/ (because)
They're quick to pull heat, ask questions later/
Haters with tazers hit the big paydirt/
Promoted to major dick-tator, scales of justice crush us when they Buck! Buck! say they're/
Creeping at nite when you're on your way home/
Right off of I-25 passed Vallejo/
Fit the profile it could prove to be fatal/
Protect and serve? I guess if you say so/
Cruising down the block, tune it down a notch, know they're watching you/
Swooping down the hawks, move in now you're caught, guilt by concocted truth/
They see and the plot and choose their next victim/
Slip in their system you're screwed that's the intention/
Mention your freedom they lay down their martial law/
Those constitutional rights? I must've missed that clause

This one's for those like Mr. Rodney King/
Got beat by the cops each one of them walked/
Nightmarish american dreams/
This one's for those like Senor Frank Lobato/
No Joking around they broke in his house/
Killed him and act like it's not so/
This one's for those like Park Hill's Child Paul/
They blasted on sight smashing his rights/
While his mother watched him fall/
This one's for those like Amidou Diallo/
In their eyes being sodomizied was protocol/
That's something I can't swallow/
This one's for those like you and you and you/
We're talking about the boys in blue that are out to destroy you too

This one's for those
This one's for those
This One This One This One
This one's for those for those!!!
