Shooting the Stars
Shootin' the stars
Lock you away for nothing
Blood on the streets
Seems like they do what they feel
Shootin' the stars
Lock you away for nothing
Blood on the streets
Seems like they kill when they feel
I've seen a silent man thrown in a riot van
Hands behind his back strapped tight
Keeps him quiet
But he wasn't ever violent,
Officers scratchin' off their numbers
So they can't be identified or ever get
In trouble
Please understand the struggle
It's like nowhere there's a love
How's a kid suppose to feel
When he's always getting stopped
Cus of the area he's from
Might gun you down if you run
Shootin' the stars
Lock you away for nothing
Blood on the streets
Seems like they do what they feel
Shootin' the stars
Lock you away for nothing
Blood on the streets
Seems like they kill when they feel
And they can try and
Lock away your individual
But they can never lock
And chain your spiritual
Your body may be trapped
But your mind never stops
On that wing or that block
For them years or them months
It don't make sense when I see rapists
Getting sentenced less than men who rob
To send their kids to school
With food in their belly
And a roof over their heads and sheets
To keep them warm in their bed
They shot an innocent man dead
On the tube last year so tell me now
How I'm not suppose to fear
When I get stopped and searched for the
Way that I look and charged with a crime
That was never ever true
I've seen my mum cry tears when they
Mentioned a year behind bars
For what they said that I did but they
Could never convict
Yet they can kill you and get away with it
Or take Oscar Grant off a train
And while two officers hold him down
Shoot him in the back of the head like
Nobody ever hears a sound
While two officers hold him and shoot him
In the back of the head
Like nobody's ever gonna hear a sound
Shootin' the stars
Lock you away for nothing
Blood on the streets
Seems like they do what they feel
Shootin' the stars
Lock you away for nothing
Blood on the streets
Seems like they kill when they feel - Hudba
