Open Your Eyes

How many ways do they have to show that they don't give a fuck about you?
Open all three of your eyes, read an array of books and cut off the boob tube
Knowledge seek, strategize and realize they’re telling lies to your closed third eye
They got you fooled, thinking the problem is you when you talk about black lives
They'll tell you that all lives matter but that isn't what's being displayed
Starting to get an eerie feeling that the Fraternal Police are a secret society
They chastise the hood for taking a blind eye to many crimes
But they cover each other's asses every single time and lie
Doesn't even matter about body cams and dash cams because they'll justify
A reason why they took another life regardless of what you're seeing with your own eyes
