Black panther answering Block to block, community police address the cancerous A hard job under the founder’s conditions, the foulest conditions They got you all missions that’s never and then some joined cause they hate and the oath will protect them some Joined from our hood thinking they can make connections Most killings from police happen in a couple seconds Slow down, preserve options when you pulling out your weapons from Louisiana, Twin Cities to Dallas, communities heartbroken, heart tougher than calloused The pain both ways, the understanding and trusting, yet it’s hard to feel remorse since we never got justice What a mess we in, how we move forward and build, from catching slaves in the field, reexamine the shield Or whenever we yield, we feel our illest of ills As a nation we grieve As a nation we heal [Verse 3] I’m tired of protesting or what have you man We need new strategies, new plans because We living in an environment of impunity And seriously I feel like we aiming at the wrong shit We tryna fight ethical battles as opposed to the oath With things like culpable negligence We aiming at the wrong thing We need to aiming at the law [Chorus] Manager and controller of black bodies Manager and controller of black bodies Manager and controller of black bodies Manager and controller of black bodies
