[Verse 1: Tee Grizzley]
G
Y'all supposed to be the heroes though
You know, protect and serve
Am
Y'all takin' us off of the Earth
I see the police and it fuck with my nerves
Em
They pullin' me over, I'm showin' them both of my hands
And watchin' my words
Em
I got insurance, no warrants
He pointin' his gun like he wanna blow it
G
Tell me why we gotta die
He went for his wallet, reached for a gun
Am
You think that's some shit he'd try? On a cop?
Em
He can't breathe and you still chokin' him, man, why would he lie?
Em
Your knee in his neck, you ain't gotta do all that
It's one against five
RIP
