mykele deville – chasin’ rallies lyrics

verse:

2 amerikkka’s but 1 me
now where you think they making safety a priority?
never where my majority lives
that is, if they really ever get to live, for real
the cops hunting me this season like it’s time to grill
just a friendly pat down with intent to k!ll
a little pressure on your neck so you’ll admit the guilt
of living and breathing, put a top to that by squeezing
slave catchers run amok
fraternity of chosen heathens…

ponder: an organization built to catch me, to trap me, by any means deemed necessary also wants my trust, empathy, and to humanize their right to continued existence?
even as they murder me for fear, stay silent when i scream, they demand to be seen as the protector of my dreams?

f-ck that!
you can take a step back, one time
don’t need that type of protection that be coming with a catch
if i obey what you say, just abide
im reaching for my registration, partner may pop me on the driver’s side
do they police like that up in the valley?
had me running from intimidation, now they got me chasin’ rallies
the only pavement that i’m seeking is the highway
stopping that lake sh0r- traffic coming my way
the bodies, wrapping around be screaming “breathe”
simple fact i forget in a city lined with thieves of life
so sad, have to justify my right to fight, extermination
while you’re stalled at the street light
so pay attention. you see my people down there on a mission
you may be inconvenienced but just stop and listen
we want justice for the innocence that died
it’s a question not a battle cry, not a battlecry

(chorus)

verse:

now i’m scared for real who do i tell?
can’t call the blue and red’s they probably throw me in the jail
and that’s just if i ‘m lucky
didn’t do the crime
but i’m black
and my hair is funky
lil’ boy you fit the profile living in the wild
like beasts unidentified by civilized eyes
you’re target practice for aggression growing bolder with time
grab the guns turn the body cams off
no one will ever see the shot
the ones that took his head off so lets high five…

ponder: are these k!llings of black and brown bodies more prevalent because of the current state of unknowledge in this country or has it always been that way?
is it normal to think about this everyday walking to the store, or at the movies, or p-ssing a squad car? we are far from normal

never great, never great, never was
how can you when pumping communities full of drugs
sic the dogs on, put the law on em, long arms
protecting the privileged inside their bubbles from the harm
how sweet, sensibilities get maintained
status quo, white fragility and black pain
man i swear this happened before
just want to make sure this don’t happen no more
i put my body on the line in solidarity
try to control the perception that i’m threatening and m-ss produce
media blackout of the coverage trying to falsify a truce
forming a noose and only pulling tighter
can’t speak if i can’t breathe
now this protest starting to look more like a riot and you wonder why
we won’t be silenced any longer by your lullabies
we want justice for the innocence that died
it’s a simple question you should answer not a battlecry
it’s not a battle cry
