about

Columbus' Police Department has issues that need addressed just like every other law enforcement agency. Here are some of our thoughts on that.

lyrics

America it's the land of free
Most have rights but they don't extend to me
Take our lives off in living rooms
Lay us in streets baking from sun to moon

Oh, say can you see
They can tell us what to be (x2)

America found its guillotine
A loaded gun in the hands of police
Broadcasted live, the truth is clear crystal
Our eyes are lying boy, that black man had a pistol

Oh, say can you see
They can tell us what to be (x2)

Divided states it's a mentality
Faking a blindness, ignoring brutality
Desensitized with every finger scroll
Numb to the horror, embrace the oncoming war
Don't look suspicious, Don't look...at all
State your # for the record
(Oh, say can you see…)
Don't move arms, Don't do...anything
State your # for the record
(Oh, say can you see…)
No, No, No, No, No, remain calm
State your # for the record
(Oh, say can you see…)
No, No, No, No, No, remain still
State your #, State your #
(Oh, say can you see…)

Oh, say can you see
They can tell us what to be (x2)

We are distracted
Lay on our backs

Oh, say can you see
They can tell us what to be

Hate is extracted
Time to react
