Call It What It Is

They shot him in the back
Now it’s a crime to be black
So don’t act surprised
When it gets vandalized
Call it what it is
Call it what it is
Call it
what it is
Murder
There’s good cops
Bad cops
White cops
Black cops
Call it what it is
Call it what it is
Call it
what it is
Murder
Trevon Martin
Ezel Ford
Michael Brown
And so many many more
But call it what it is
Call it what it is
Call it
what it is
Murder
Government, ain’t easy
policing, ain’t easy
hard times, ain’t easy
Oppression, ain’t easy
racism, ain’t easy
fear, ain’t easy
suffering, ain’t easy
But call it what it is
Call it what it is
Call it
what it is
Murder
Gun control
Mind control
Self-control
We’ve dug ourselves a hole
But call it what it is
Call it what it is
Call it
what it is
Murder
Call it what it is
Call it what it is
Call it
what it is
Murder
Call it what it is
Call it what it is
Call it
what it is
