Another life died and I am not surprised
By the way, this is not the first time
Yes pray for resolution in your lifetime, but
Expect a recurrence of this same crime
Another life died because he pinned him down
He couldn’t lynch him so he just kneeled on his crown
Yes he knows he didn’t have any air
He says, “Jimmy cracked corn and he didn’t care”
Another life died by the hand of a protector
Play the scratch card and reveal a murderer
Drive down the road for protests of fire
Pour patience down the drain. It has expired.
Another life died and I am not surprised
By the way, this is not the tenth time
Yes pray for resolution in your lifetime, but
Expect a recurrence of this same crime
Another life died and shock hits their faces
As if they didn’t know the world is racist
And half of the media is pretend woke
Others use the pain for jokes: facetious
Another life died they type “all cops are bastards”
As is they’ve solved the mess with simpleton answers
And people sell wristbands with blue lives matter
Obviously. They don’t go to jail for killing N-
Another life died and I am not surprised
By the way this is not the hundredth time
Yes pray for resolution in your lifetime, but
Expect a recurrence of this same crime
Another life died and people pretend to cry
Use the situation like they won a grand prize
Loot the local store. No care for their demise
Because free is way better than $9.99
Another life died and they’re impatient for justice
Many are eager to remove due process
Someone says they should find where he lives
Someone beside them nods, “say less”
Another life died and I am not surprised
By the way this is not the thousandth time
Yes pray for resolution in your lifetime, but
Expect a recurrence of this same crime
Another life died and mothers shed a tear
This was already not a good year
Filled with lost souls and growing fear
Something they hold dear just disappeared
Another life died and it morphs into a hinge
A mighty group of pacifists on the fringe
The fire of the night makes the gas look orange
And they help the fallen with milk from their fridge
Another life died and frankly this rhyme,
This rhyme feels like a complete waste of my time
Because we’ve been going through this for so long
And I wish I was indifferent but emotions are not wrong
And I really want to swear, and the n word was in here somewhere
But I couldn’t say it because the censors will hear
And this is important for someone out there
But you know what’s important?
Life
So I, have to ignore clips, on the internet,
or I’ll cry, but I can’t zip, my chapped lips,
‘cuz the rhymes come so quick
‘cuz I can’t forget about Minneapolis,
and I’m tired and frustrated
and it’s 4:59 on the morning of May 30th
What if when I wake up…
Another life died.
