now the metropolitan police commissioner
sir ian blair is tonight facing calls to resign
after leaked doc-ments revealed a series of tragic errors
which ended in the shooting of an innocent man
did he try to delay the independent investigation of the death of
jean charles de menezes
a move that would have breached the official police guidelines
and was was so much misleading and false information about the young brazilian man unchallenged until now
lawyers for the de menezes family are going forward for sir ian’s resignation
there demanding an independent public enquiry accusing the police of a cover up
[verse 1: ill-strait]
guilty we accused
before been stopped by police officers
filthy we not pigs that scream abuse officer
we see all of it, some pretenders
wanna be police in a uniform
abuse foreigners confused like its all politics
b-ll-cks
am defending for the youth reformed
hound upon the hoodies worn
young offenders
given up guns surrendered
so now a son remembered
remember jean charles de menezes
k!lled by police, not guilty verdict
no justice no police
no justice no peace
filmed caught on camera claim terror suspect
but he’s dead no weapon
its all suspect
what to expect when there’s only us left
lesson claim we all threats
so we all next
life became cut throat like a knife to your neck
next step held for question at best
held for questions
laws put in place
stop n search if you look suspicious
just wait watch how it gets vindictive

a 17 year old black kid was unarmed & shot by this guy george zimmerman
who took it upon himself to do a neighborhood watch in his community
whether it was authorised or not
what the cops decided to do was
not to do a toxicology report on zimmerman to see if he was high or drunk
or if he done something wrong is what you usually do if someone shoots someone right
and they didn’t do a criminal background check on him
instead the did something that was unusual
they did a criminal background check on the 17 year old kid who was shot
they did a toxicology report on the kid that was shot
to me that was an outrage and they did not arrest zimmerman for 44 days
to me that there said was the authorities there in that local community -ssumed that trayvon martin
the 17 year old african american kid was guilty
[verse 3: ill-strait]
how could it be zimmerman acquitted
he k!lled a man well he k!lled a teen
admitted it and got set free
no justice no peace
trayvon rest in peace
can’t believe it acquitted
this is far from forgiveness
i put my tears on everything i’ve written
for a child lost lost of innocence
got me thinking of a family mourning
there son putting roses down at there sons wake
every morning
age 17 staring at heavens gates
hope his guardian angels there keep him safe
he’s gone, i think of the families & i pray
how could an innocent life end this way
going to the shops for skittles with your hood up
to be k!lled cos wearing a hood huh
these laws don’t seem good enough
when milllions of innocents die and the k!llers walk free
not what it ought to be, some war on peace
more like more war no peace
this is not what my mum taught me
now its
the innocent die the guilty get set free
where is the justice when innocence rests in peace
its just us tell me wheres there’s resistance is it just me
the law ain’t worth sh-t in fact its worthless
hood up for trayvon
hoods up for the innocents gone
politics all a disguise your missing the wrongs
the law ain’t worth the paper its written on
[outro]
if the innocent become the victims in the times far gone
we gotta remain vigilant keep your mind strong
