The Thought, Marcus Lee - Helicopter Blades Lyrics

Impaled on helicopter blades
Look what broken condoms made
Ain't no maid from here to the Everglades
That would see the mess and stay
No matter the pay you offered
Unless you chained 'em to the coffers
They all golfing on the green
While it's popping on the scene
And the water that's been deemed
Acceptable for them to use
Could've made some Flint dreams come true
But that's the greed, sheesh!
I wasn't even seeing all the shit that keeps me up now
I didn't know the pronouns I hadn't seen the profound
Difference in the way the world treats the black and brown
When I was less than seventeen and the machine was my know-how
I know now, the levels to it, always learning more of 'em
Y'all seen the soldiers do it but ain't wondering who ordered 'em?
America is losing everything that made it beautiful
We let the white trash skip class and be delusional

Institutional racism is obvious
To anyone who didn't skip their turn to touch the obelisk
How'd you let a bunch of Nazis call themselves the populists
And argue with the evil that was done by all the colonists?
We barely even toppled shit before the media was calling us
Communists and acting like all of it was nothing but drama
The source of the trauma is generational
But it's being re-enacted on the daily by the officers
Who ain't held accountable for when they killing men of color
As long as cop accounts are full we must defend out brothers
Their fear of others is the only reason for the increase in weeping mothers
So we must defeat police to keep the peace from being smothered
Y'all ain't seasoned, you just buttered-up
I don't care if it's treason, I hope Trump gets shot on television
If it happens, hope the assassin practice nepotism
So Don Jr., Eric, and Ivanka get the same
Nothing but a bullet going through their brain
No KKK, no fascist USA, I could write an essay
On all the ways they've laid to grave our countrymen
But I don't labor for the government

Yeah
And the government don't care
For despair, and it's rare
That they've given us a fair shake
So we got to take a stand
Doing everything we can, fam
Let's make that shit a mandate
We got a responsibility to be the voice
For the weak and downtrodden
No, they can't break
They hiding the fact we kings and queens
'Cause the power that it brings
It's that power that they can't take
(Power)
It's that power that they can't take
It's that power that they can't take
They hiding the fact we kings and queens
'Cause the power that it brings
It's that power that they can't take
(Power)
