A-F-R-O - S.O.S lyrics

(car honking)

(police comms)
(A-F-R-O humming)

I've seen a lot of church gatherin'
A lot of murder happenin'
Cops' dirty actions, shots burning faster
Blocks feel disgusted by the
Cops' stale judgement
Mr. Garner's mom sobbin', heart impaled
Eruptin'
The pain and lonely stay heard louder
A shame those police can get away
With murder on the camera
The verdict caught me dumbfounded
How is that legal?
The judge plays buzzed for the
Power and the people
The evil been surroundin' this round earth
And this amount of hurt will make me look
Up and wonder how the clouds work
Upon the folk beholds a longer drama forward
They try to cut our words
And put us in a conscious choke hold
I know officers that aren't
Out for cash payments
But we do long for
Some actual drastic changes
I've had it with man spewin'
Hatred delusional statements
I'm standing with man and woman
All beautiful races
Why is racism still alive
And well? Climbing trails
Tryna tell blacks, whites, browns
To not unite
But to die and fail
And shy the Hell that tries to
Kill the connection of humans?
Choosin' brain washin' tunes to
Create hateful music
Pain is movin' up and stuck with ya
The faith is made to fuse
And uplift the grandmamas who tell
It to they daughtas
And hopefully ya mama will tell you
That love is larger than life
And to give a helpin' hand to
Those who need it more
You must remember people need those things
For what you're greedy for
I see the shore
The water as the waves sway silent
Learn to spread love
And maintain change instead of violence


Gather around, my brothers and sisters
Gather around
Come into the sermon, baby -
Come into the sermon
I know you need to hear some truth
(Stop, don't shoot! Stop, don't shoot!
Stop, don't shoot! Stop, don't shoot)

(Don't shoot, hands up! Don't shoot
Hands up)
