See they got another one
Say, at what point are we gonna come to grips with the fact that we are targets out here, man?

[Verse 1]
Another victim of the racist police department
No gun, no weapon, this beast is heartless
You the peacekeeper, blacks on the streets is cautious
‘cause we knowin’ that they never wanted peace to start with
Nothing said, he spoke with his gun instead
Mama got a phone call, “Ma’am, your son is dead”
The officers know the truth, but they won’t admit it
Investigation conducted by the ones who did it
Listen, the facts don’t lie so your words I’m squashing
Those in denial say it’s media’s concoction
Protesting is a option but really why bother?
Another son or daughter done lost they father
They never reveal why the officers will lie
We give it a real try, comply, you still died
Know why? ‘cause he wanna reenact the hurt
No charge, let it blow over and back to work

Back to work, still livin’ that life, while a son or a daughter’s never comin' back home, and the family gotta deal with that

[Chorus]
It’s the
Same old song
Another one is gone, gone, gone
Family left alone-lone-lone
Another one is gone, gone, gone
[Verse 2]
Cops killed Gregory Hill, the result that follows
Civil suit judge gave his family four dollars
Three for his children, one for funeral expense
Then they came back and changed that to just four cents
You see these folks don’t care ‘bout a black man’s life
You just a thug and a animal in that man’s sights
Kill him while his baby in the back seat of the car
Man, that’s raw, boy, you talk about leaving a scar
What child should see a parent get shot down flat
They could live to be 90 and wouldn’t get over that
Nightmares of those incidents stalking their sleep
And the person who murdered daddy still walkin’ the street
All that talkin’ is cheap ‘cause the system’s horrid
See, a lot of these killings don’t get recorded
Victor White committed suicide is what they attest
Handcuffed behind his back but shot his self in the chest, c’mon

See we keep makin’ mistake of thinkin’ that this system is gonna work for us when history has always shown us the opposite, man, yeah

[Chorus]
It’s the
Same old song
Another one is gone, gone, gone
Family left alone-lone-lone
Another one is gone, gone, gone
[Verse 3]
How can they say they didn’t do it when the camera proved it
They concluded that all black people are stupid
Evidence obvious and they still don’t use it
Criminal case against police, the victims lose it
Whole lot of brothers got beat down or shot
What about the scared cops who stand around and watch?
Knew it was wrong when they put his brains all on the pavement
And you know it didn’t happen how they said in the statement
When you blast on America’s innate racism
Those with ‘em accuse you of creatin’ division
They jackin’ up our young children, doin’ ‘em dirty
Pullin’ guns on ‘em just to strike fear in ‘em early
The victim less eternal, they murdered and beat him
We know the names already, we don’t have to repeat ‘em
But the sad truth is with these wicked minds
There’s an innocent one right now that’s next in line

Sad but true, see, even when the camera show they did it, they still get acquitted, hell, they can even admit it, yo

[Chorus]
It’s the
Same old song
Another one is gone, gone, gone
Family left alone-lone-lone
Another one is gone, gone, gone
