Anti-Hero

Let us get some respect from them that come when some red rum's been done And when mental stress is testing someone's mettle Them drugs are no threat compared to stepping on necks, bruh, get fucked You just can't rep the Punisher and protect us What's up with the motherfucking skull y'all got on everything, what's it about? Why is it I can't ask that question without you threatening a punch in the mouth? There's something about these government thugs running 'round With the fucking decal of the Punisher up on the front of the Crown Vic Intercepting innocent citizens Got me wondering how they expect us to think they really give a shit enough to protect us It's a setup, they bring all these motherfucking bricks to spots they might get chucked And they let chuds that hit the folks protesting smoke a cig and not get cuffed But you get struck just because someone's yelling "f*ck twelve" Shit's messed up Would you let us get some fucking respect from them that come when some red rum's been done And when mental stress is testing someone's mettle Them drugs are no threat compared to stepping on necks What the everloving f*ck Your "protection" sucks Quit defending corruption while emptying guns At the unarmed suspect of some little crumb-theft, running away What does it say, that they're coming in blazing All us afraid, not one of us safe Isn't punishment s'posed be some kind of justice? Not some fucker holding a grudge 'cause of race All smug, 'cause he knows that he'll plum get away with it Whole damn orchard's been so overcome with decay And I don't know how the f*ck we're s'posed to go and live with that From coast to coast, the power structure's so focused on killing black folks Oh, it's hopeless, it's really bad The shit's so broken We already banned those chokeholds But they barely care As our throats close and we beg for air Would you let us live, please Vigilante justice isn't what we want from our police Go peep what anti-hero means No need for most of these folks to patrol streets When we protest those that beat people, they repeat it We see the shit and go retweet it Some people listen, some delete it Some keep thinking "must be a reason" Well, there is, dummy Come dip your feet in this history that still bleeds It isn't unique, what they did to Greenwood We really should've been taught that in school Instead, we pretended it never happened "Relax, that's all in the past, and shit's cool" "Don't do drugs and the cops won't bug you" "Don't you run 'less you wanna catch a slug or two" "Won't you stop, give a thought, what they're going through?" Cop car's got a skull on it, we know the truth Hold the blue line like a motherfucking gang Notice who climbs up the motherfucking ranks Notice who's pouring out potables, breaking shit Rolling through riding on a motherfucking tank Y'all are fucking insane Just let us get some respect from them that come when some red rum's been done And when mental stress is testing someone's mettle Them drugs are no threat compared to stepping on necks, bruh, get fucked You just can't rep the Punisher and protect us
