I’ve posted this before and I’ll do it again.

It’s unfortunate that we even have to say ‘Black Lives Matter’ I mean, if you go through history nobody ever gave a fck I mean, you can kill black people in the street, nobody goes to jail, nobody goes to prison But when I say ‘Black Lives Matter’ and you say ‘All Lives Matter’ That’s like if I was to say ‘Gay Lives Matter’ and you say ‘All Lives Matter’ If I said, ‘Women’s Lives Matter’ and you say ‘All Lives Matter’, you’re diluting what I’m saying You’re diluting the issue The issue isn’t about everybody, it’s about black lives, at the moment But the truth of the matter is, they don’t really give a fck about anybody If you break this shit all the way down to the low fucking dirty-ass truth

We say that ‘Black Lives Matter’ Well truthfully they really never have No one ever really gave a f*ck Just read your bullshit history books But honestly it ain’t just black It’s yellow, it’s brown, it’s red It’s anyone who ain’t got cash Poor whites that they call trash

They can’t, fck with us Once they realise we’re all on the same side They can’t, split us up And let them prosper off the divide They can’t, fck with us Once they realize we’re all on the same side They can’t, split us up And let them prosper off the divide

Don’t fall for the bait and switch Racism is real, but not it They f*ck whoever can’t fight back But now we gotta change all that The people have had enough Right now, it’s them against us This shit is ugly to the core When it comes to the poor No lives matter

America’s always been A place that judge my skin And racism is real as f*ck Ain’t no way to play that off And in the eyes of the law Black skin has always stood for poor This is basic shit They know who they fucking with

They can’t, fck with us Once they realise we’re all on the same side They can’t, split us up And let them prosper off the divide They can’t, fck with us Once they realize we’re all on the same side They can’t, split us up And let them prosper off the divide

Don’t fall for the bait and switch Racism is real, but not it They f*ck whoever can’t fight back But now we gotta change all that The people have had enough Right now, it’s them against us This shit is ugly to the core When it comes to the poor No lives matter

You never see them pulling rich people out of their cars in their neighbourhoods because they know they got lawyers They know they’ll sue their ass They can tell who to f*ck with Unfortunately, black or brown skin has always meant poor They’re profiling you kid They know you can’t fight back, but we about to

Investigators say they are reviewing body camera and dashcam video of Tuesday’s shooting Police say that Keith Lamont Scott did have a gun in his hand when an officer shot him But a new picture of the scene shows something at Scott’s feet A source tells our Charlotte affiliate it may be a gun But people in the neighbourhood say the father of four was holding a book instead

Officer Vinson was in plain clothes when the shooting happened He was not wearing a body worn camera But we are told that three other officers wore theirs The department is under increasing pressure to release police videos from the shooting But the police chief says he will not do that right now because of the investigation (ladies and gentlemen. This shit is deeper than racism)

Don’t fall for the bait and switch Racism is real, but not it They f*ck whoever can’t fight back But now we gotta change all that The people have had enough Right now, it’s them against us This shit is ugly to the core When it comes to the poor No lives matter

This shit is ugly to the core When it comes to the poor No lives matter

This shit is ugly to the core When it comes to the poor No lives matter

How is Body Count’s other stuff? This song is a banger and I put it on from time to time.

Most of it is pretty good both musically and politically. Bum-Rush and Black Hoodie are a couple other favorites. Personally I think they do a better job blending rap and metal than any other band out there, I’d listen to them even if their lyrics weren’t on point.

It’s funny that you mentioned them being good both musically and politically, but didn’t post Cop Killer.
