Lloyd, Voices for Change - They Don't Care Lyrics

"A window has been smashed out
And through the window you can see officers
Are inside the store, assessing the damage
Assessing what may or may not have been taken
Um, but yeah, the store is not in good shape"

There is no peace without modesty
And there is no truth without honesty
Fuck the police

And I feel, they don't ever care enough
And I know, they will always fear us
Time alone, tells me we don't give out
Monsters, we the one that's really gon' tear it up

A lot of this shit ain't real, they just made up
The government don't like me, they just fear us
Takin' our history, flip it, then fake us (oh)

Livin' the American dream but all I hear is murder (murder, murder)
Yeah, all I hear is murder (murder, murder)
Bloody, bloody murder (murder)
Livin' the American dream, still I feel they don't care

And I feel, they don't ever care enough
And I know, they will always fear us
Time alone, tells me we don't give out
Monsters, we the one that's really gon' tear it up

"That minority group
They don't do anything productive for this country, except for the NBA
And if it wasn't for the NBA, Joe, like I always say
Our country would have the world's tallest garbage men
Thank God for the NBA"

Right on with the flow, here we go gearin' up
My people tough, there ain't no tearin' us
And I know they will always fear me

Livin' the American dream, so all I see is murder (murder, murder)
Yeah, all see is murder (murder, murder)
Bloody, bloody murder (murder)
Livin' the American dream, still I feel they don't care

And I feel, they don't ever care enough
And I know, they will always fear us
Time alone, tells me we don't give out
Monsters, we the one that's really gon' tear it up

"And they wouldn't even help, when they turned on the lights
And seen that she had been shot, they killed our dog, oh"

"Go 'head
If I called you a nigger, you're a nigger!
Nasty fucking nigger"

"The bottom line is that race is still the most intractable issue in this country
And when an adult can profile and stalk and kill a child in America
Our democracy is threatened"
