New Jersey Drive This Ain't

"We too far gone to see what's important" - Miss Jenkins


You would think that you would hear a reason rather than an excuse
or that you could actually play the race card at the top of the deck
You would think that one of those shells actually belonged to the 'suspect'
or there was some hidden beef that will surface in the future
Justice has been castrated and it's remains draped on the necks of those
who uphold the 'law'
and they rock their chain faithfully while their bracelets finds wrists to secure themselves against
You would think that this was the best way to stop crime
Instead they ask why in the hood we draw lines to seperate us from them who all through time preyed on the weak of the mind only to find they were blind to the fact that we weren't the ones with the nightsticks and dogs
Just trying to live in the system who's foundation has been flawed
and the last time I checked, their primary is to serve and protect
and they demand my respect or else it's now shoot and forget?
So what if they were minorities?
Which can only mean is that common sense becomes obsolete to authority
Fuck black and white, fuck excuses, here's truth
We didn't paint the battle lines black
You police painted the shit blue.


RIP Sean Bell
