k c davis – racial arrest lyrics
(verse 1)
racial, racial
skinny, hairy man with a dark facial
claustrophobic gettin’ a little sp-cial
my hungry fist eatin’ their face whole
people’s respect for me is gettin’ real slim
i bet i feel like grendel when they speared him
people all around givin’ their smart dis
now my mind is all up in the darkness
january starts a whole new year
when the racism is all you hear
walkin’ down the street sayin’
“yeah, this is my day”
when the police arrest you
’cause you’re black on a friday
lookin’ for someone
just to put the accuse on
you’re walkin’ with an afro
and a pair of black shoes on
“listen! listen!
i’m not the criminal”
they say “we arrest you
’cause you look like the original
you say “whoa! whoa!
i don’t have an afro
i’m just a black man
lookin’ for the bathroom
they hit you and say
“you’re nothin’ but grime and spit”
and then they tell you
“shut up ya stupid convict”
you’re just a student
in the 12th grade
they drag you around
as if you were just made
the fact that you were accused
makes you really upset
the crime was 7 in the mornin’
i wasn’t even up yet”
(verse 2)
they throw you in the car
and they drive you off to jail
you’re tryin’ to fight them off
and they throw you in a cell
they say to the chief
there’s the n-gg- right there
sittin’ in that chair
with black and brown hair
it seems like it’s the devil
that they worship
it feels like a large fork
the way the words h-t
now i feel even lower
than i was before
now i feel like a flag
that’s been burned to the floor
i know the criminal
couldn’t of gone this far
he probably stole a bag of chips
from kmart
i peeked my ear out the cell
just to hear them talk
i could tell the chief was glad
by the way that he walked
“we finally caught him
stealin’ gum from the candy store
now i feel as bad as a burnin’ flag
and more
they base their observation
on the wrong description
there’s evidence missin’
but n-body will listen
he found an id on me
and thought that it was mine
when i told him that it’s not
he threatened to shoot me in the spine
he thought that i was lyin’
said he’d make my legs go numb
i told him “just check me
and see if i have the gum”
he p-ssed me off more
further in the conversation
he based his observation
on the wrong piece of information
when i explained myself
he had to let me go
because what the witness told
i’ve never been to the candy store
end.
