WHAT IF?

If only Freddie Gray would've stayed home that fateful day

They wouldn't have had to put him in the van to take him away 

If Mike Brown had just bowed down he would've made it home

Instead of bleeding on a concrete street due to Darren Wilson


If Trayvon would've respected Zimmerman as if he were his son

There never would've been a reason for him to draw his gun

If Tamir Rice rode a bike they wouldn't have called the cops 

That nice officer, fearing for his life, gun wouldn't have pop


But Mike Vick is a son of a bitch for what he did to those dogs

He should dwell in HELL burning like he is a dark fireplace log

And Kaepernick is a trick for disrespecting the land of the free

How dare he silently protest police brutality by taking a damn knee


This is the sad mentality of Amerikka's white supremacy 

Sheep who overlook travesties when you look like me

Death to these circus clowns that terrorize the black & the brown

For we'll never ever have any peace of mind while they're around
