Killer Mike, Run The Jewels - Pre-Show Ferguson Decision Response lyrics

I would like to say Rest in Peace to Michael
Brown i would like to give all thoughts and
Prayers to the people out
There peacefully protesting i
Also give thoughts and prayers to the people
Who could not hold their anger
In because riots are
Only the language of the unheard also give
Thoughts and prayers to the
People who could not
We usually come on to Queen’s ‘Champion’
But I just got to tell you
Today, no matter how much we do it
No matter how much we get
Shit together, shit comes along and kicks
You on your ass tonight
I got kicked on my ass when
I heard that prosecutor you
Motherfckers got me today
I knew it was coming when Eric Holder
Decided to resign you motherfckers got me
Today you kicked me on my ss today, because I
Have a 20-year-old son and a 12-year-old son
And I’m so afraid for them today

When I stood on the bus, and I cried
And I hugged my friend, I said
‘these motherfckers
Got me today’ When I stood in front of
My wife, and I cried like a baby, i
Said, ‘these motherfuckers got me today you
Motherfckers will not own tomorrow
We will not bend to your
Fear, we will not accept your pain, we are
Not going to keep playing that race card
Because we know you don’t value my skin
We know you do value his (El-P)
But we’re friends and nothing is
Going to devalue that

But I can promise you today: If I die
When I walk off this stage tomorrow
I’ll let
You know this: it is not about race, it
Is not a class, it’s not about color
It’s about what they killed him for it’s
About poverty, it’s about greed
And it’s about a war machine it’s about
A war machine that uses you so as I
Go tomorrow, I might go the day after
The one thing I want you to know is
That it’s us against
The motherfcking machine!
