Trojan Horse

I see no changes!
You heard Tupac say it,
only problem with that ,
I gotta live it,
 
Despite the hard work,
Not many see my worth
in the streets, im a Fed,  
Or even an opp
No matter the person,  
Y’all hate EVERY cop!
 
 
Block to Block
Tick tick on the clock
This shit really don’t stop
 
Sirens, Guns, handcuffs and jail cells.
We generally blame the white man  
But what about ourselves?
We say Black Lives Matter,
But still no one tells 😳🤫
We all are out here afraid of snitching
Damn,... we just cant shake THAT spell!
 
Now Don’t get it twisted  
Im forever black and proud,
And Will always say it loud..
EVERYTIME i face THAT crowd.  
 
But yo there’s still change to come
I don’t know about you
But Whats done is done
The change that we seek starts with us
King and Queens, within you I trust ✊🏾
 
Now let’s shake some shit up
Make some differences  
you and I,
I can do it from within
But I need you all to at least try.

Author's Note
My inspiration from this is simply my life. I’m a black man in law enforcement. I get pressured from both sides about policing but who’s making the effort to bring the two back together. I named it the Trojan Horse because I believe if there is a problem we can tackle it from the inside out. I would like to see more trained professionals in the field.
