Funeral (w​/​Elucid)

from A Suite For Souled People by Willie Green

lyrics

Funeral (written by Elucid):

The world’s most dangerous
Nature of the threat
Fear painted us
Shades of scarlet
Smear campaigns
On marked targets
Even unarmed
We spar with marksmen
Arms too short to choke out pale devils
Makeshift rookie rebels
Versus military surplus reserve grade weapons
Save for reference
The message
The pigs response we saw in Ferguson is a look into the future of policing in America at large
The ghetto’s been an experiment
Abuse of power comes as no surprise
Reinforcing the divide
As the gap widens
Know your place or face extreme violence
Your right to remain silent been suspended
Sparked the offensive
Groundswell as the phalanx inches
Facing opposite the winds
Tear gas dispenses
Returned vollies
Black bodies trigger hidden bias
Rounds flying distant siren
Homegoing kiss the gates of Zion
