lyrics

i've never met a cop that i didn't like
i've never been thrown from a car and feared for my life
i've shaken a dozen police hands and said "have a good day"
i've paid my tickets in full and i promptly drove away

but i'm no fucking class traitor, i know where my privilege stands
every cop is a class traitor, brutalizing my friends
i've never stared down a gun, afraid i could die
and chose my words so careful to match the "try me" in his eyes
because when the system's designed to find black folks dead
fuck your nice guy uncle! fuck your nice guy dad!
if they're complacent, they're complicit
if they're silent, they're the same
as every cop i've ever hated
every cop who's shed the blame

because i've never met a cop that i could like
when they're upholding all the violences that take my friends lives
you fucking chose to be blue, they didn't choose to be black
so if you're just doing your job, you don't deserve any slack
