Thin Blue Line Video (MV)

Momma I'm tryna make it home
Protect and serve but they would rather air it out
I'm watching murders on my phone
I pray it's never someone that I care about
Man they aint do nothing wrong
Death is our punishment but never fits our crimes
And then our killers never end up getting time
So understand why I wont cross that thin blue line
Cuz I'm just tryna make it

Here we are again, hate to say that I'm surprised
But I know it won't be the last
Since it has happens our whole lives
Y'all give a Virgil for the vigil
And you call that activism
Its an unfair justice system
Aint no Malcolm in the middle
So either you with us, or you with them
Cuz I refuse to be a racist's token black friend
Ain't no use for non racists I need you to be anti
You cant say the N word you asking me why can't I
OK we fight for human rights
But no one has found the answer
We are America's cancer our only rights are Miranda
Man its crazy that some people still dont get it yet
The deceased dont look like them and that's the disconnect
When Trayvon Martin was murdered the jury aint get it right
When George Floyd was killed he was begging them for his life
Too many black people are not making it home at night
So my heart starts skipping a beat
When I see those red and blue lights

Momma I'm tryna make it home
Protect and serve but they would rather air it out
I'm watching murders on my phone
I pray it's never someone that I care about
Man they aint do nothing wrong
Death is our punishment but never fits our crimes
And then our killers never end up getting time
So understand why I wont cross that thin blue line
Cuz I'm just tryna make it

They say this ain't the way you do it
Say the answer isn't violence
But when Kap was taking knees all you allies were so quiet
So if you speak on the riots or speak up about the looting
I'm dare you to go and speak up when cops break the constitution
Expect nothing less from me
I'm a child of destiny
Even tho they not around you better say their names
Because reform is my new mission
Get my homies out the prison
Stay the hell out of my way if you dont like my new position
They can't whip us our backs so they put knees on our necks
What a brother got to do to get one ounce of respect
So can you blame me if I wonder if they bleed blue
Our white counterparts don't live the same fear we do
Ok this land was never free but it's the home of the bravest
How could you call it free when you brought us here on them slave ships
How could you call it free with all this mass incarceration
Spend billions on the Army but can't afford our reparations

Momma I'm tryna make it home
Protect and serve but they would rather air it out
I'm watching murders on my phone
I pray it's never someone that I care about
Man they aint do nothing wrong
Death is our punishment but never fits our crimes
And then our killers never end up getting time
So understand why I wont cross that thin blue line
Cuz I'm just tryna make it

If being black is the preexisting condition that gets me killed
Y'all better not let ride before anymore blood is spilled
If it was you I promise I couldn't live myself
If there was a way to stop them from killing somebody else
If being black is the preexisting condition that gets me killed
Y'all better not let it ride before anymore blood is spilled
So RIP Dave McAtee, RIP Breonna
Who wants to die a martyr I would rather live a father

Momma I'm tryna make it home
Protect and serve but they would rather air it out
I'm watching murders on my phone
I pray it's never someone that I care about
Man they aint do nothing wrong
Death is our punishment but never fits our crimes
And then our killers never end up getting time
So understand why I wont cross that thin blue line
Cuz I'm just tryna make it
