Ferguson
Ferguson
It happens every day and no one notices
It’s not the first time shots were fired
At an innocent black man in the streets
This time Ferguson next time Washington
One system controls the lives of thousands
Constrained by the eyes of the police
A smart kid from high school lost his life
Won’t even have the chance to meet his wife
Shot in the top of the head
One shot didn’t seem to be enough
Didn’t even get a chance to look back
Last thing he got to see was the sidewalk crack
Blood on the street
And everyone got to see
What can come out of police brutality
