How to Slay a Racist Giant

 his late co-defendant's mother,
 Rosia Nelay, break down after
the 1985 murder conviction was
 over turned in Brooklyn Supreme Court.

Race war!                                                            
An ominous threat to abhor
Racist legislation they yield
White privilege and a brass shield
American injustice they wield
Racial equality still far afield
You pictured fighting in the streets?
This war was waged by legislators and police elites!

Racialized groups fill the jails
Political tyranny in the West prevails
Police brass mismanage rank and file            
Sleazy legislators that beguile,
Baiting citizens to get tough on crime
Despicable politicians on the success ladder climb
Exploiting the weakest for personal gain
The public are victims of their terror rein

Systemic whips across Black backs                                        
Blacks slip between gaping cracks
Stop killing each other, wake up jack!
Protect your families, load up your MACs
Root out local officials, that are politically wack

Stop Black violence, it's a political trap!
Defend yourself from government attack!

Protect yourself against government tyranny
Legislative negligence isn't necessary
Storm court buildings that convict wrongly
Tyranny must be uprooted more strongly

Black people, the system is against you!
White privilege means you get screwed
Black people will never win                                                                
If your protests becomes a "love in"

Shooting of Amadou Diallo

If a hair was harmed on a white kid's head
Ten Black men would be in jail or dead!
Give them a taste of their own dread
Relentlessly pursue racist cop's heads                                        

America abandoned Blacks in Katrina
Look how cops raped Abner Louima
David McCallum served 29 years 

For a crime he didn't do
Willie Stuckey was convicted wrongly too
Willie died in jail, the system ran him through
Racist injustice sticks to US like glue
Weed out Black leaders who spew 

Abner Louima

Sycophantic bullshit on cue!

Riots got justice for Rodney King
Bring on the African American Spring
Our sorry lives will never mean a thing!              
David slew Goliath using a sling

The way to slay the racist giant
Oppose injustice, be defiant
Storm the State Capitol
Don't perceive justice if it's not actual
Don't tolerate justice that is tentative
Oust useless House of Representatives

The Central Park 5

Expose elite politicians and their political violence
They want you to die in fear and live in silence!

Storm the state legislature
Make political action second nature
Storm every city council chamber
Root out elite criminal behavior!
Corrupt officials, hands in the pot                                        
Turn a blind eye when dirty cops are caught!
Dirty cops turn a blind eye to their crimes too
Slay the racist giant before it gets you!
