lyrics
“Stop resisting, and don’t you fucking run”
Said "Officer, I’m not resisting anyone"
Mr Policeman, won’t you please lower that gun?
I’m just a poor boy and I’m not hurting anyone
And now I’m choking and I’m face down on the floor,
Handcuffs cutting through, please don’t hurt me anymore.
Hands up, don’t shoot, please officer today
Put your gun away, I’d like to live another day
Don’t want to read another headline on a page
That says unarmed kid shot dead by police again
The streets are smoking from the barrel of a gun
Police corruption, pull the curtain down at once
No more questions, another false display:
Show fake empathy, suspended still getting paid.
Tell me more about how you’ve been victimised,
How an unarmed man made you fear for your fucking life,
This one’s for all those that we’ve lost but never forgot,
“Black Lives Matter” and this needs to fucking stop.
Hands up, don’t shoot, please officer today,
Put your gun away, I’d like to live another day.
Don’t want to read another headline on a page,
That says unarmed kid shot dead by police again
Hands up, don’t shoot, fuck police brutality,
Take their guns away, your kids will live another day.
Won’t let them be another headline on a page,
That reads unarmed kid shot dead by police again.
