they took you from me
they took you from me
THAT WHITE MAN
with HIS WHITE HANDs
on his long ARMS
FIRE arms
took you from me
they took you from me
Law arms
Law arms fire long
and took you from me
they took you
from me with evidence
of things not seen
the gun cried
guilty
16 times it cried
guilty
50 times it cried
guilty
60 million and more and more more GUNS CRYING
GUILTY
Stand down THESE firing squads
THIS state sanctioned genocide
this state sanctioned genocide is
guilty guilty guilty
since they took you from me
your death has become my life
your death has become my life

they picked the cotton that saved the world. that picked cotton propelled u.s. economy; a unique capitalist setup. (though anglo saxon colonizers are not unique.) so many pop stars and hip hop billboard mainstays trumpet u.s. capitalism ad nauseam; or escapism & distraction.
"Don't Die," also powerful.
"i don't believe they lies. don't believe their truth, need they heads for proof" -- that's direct and powerful.
the violinist Saydah Ruz stands out here, i think. Jeremy Leaming
