**Verse 1:** From Rodney King to Eric Garner, we see the same old script Police officers think they're above the law, while Black lives are caught in their grip They point their guns and take a stand, while we kneel on our knees in fear But history shows us that this ain't new, it's just a continuation of what came before We got the Tulsa massacre, where Black Wall Street burned down And in Chicago's South Side, the Red Summer left its mark on this town The Civil Rights Movement fought for justice and equality But police brutality still exists, a constant reminder of history **Chorus:** Systemic injustice, it's a disease that won't quit From Emmett Till to Trayvon Martin, we still feel the hit Police brutality, a stain on the badge A symbol of racism, a legacy that won't fade **Verse 2:** The chokehold on George Floyd, a murder that shook the nation While Breonna Taylor's death showed us that police accountability is lacking In Minneapolis and Louisville, protests rose up in rage Demanding justice for Black lives, an end to systemic oppression's stage We need police reform, not just empty promises and words But systemic change that addresses the root causes of this curse From slavery to Jim Crow laws, the system's been designed To oppress and marginalize Black people, and keep us in line **Chorus:** Systemic injustice, it's a disease that won't quit From Emmett Till to Trayvon Martin, we still feel the hit Police brutality, a stain on the badge A symbol of racism, a legacy that won't fade **Outro:** So let's rise up and demand change, no more silent protests and marches too We need justice now, not just another hashtag or movement anew It's time for a new era, where Black lives matter most No more police brutality, it's time to break the mold. **Chorus:** Systemic injustice, it's a disease that won't quit From Emmett Till to Trayvon Martin, we still feel the hit Police brutality, a stain on the badge A symbol of racism, a legacy that won't fade **Chorus:** Systemic injustice, it's a disease that won't quit From Emmett Till to Trayvon Martin, we still feel the hit Police brutality, a stain on the badge A symbol of racism, a legacy that won't fade
