the cop
The Cop
Because of a cop’s racist act
A man lost his life who happens to be black
The man was seen on the ground begging for his life
Wouldn’t you know it
The cop who murdered him had to be white
Although the incident was caught on video
They still wanted to hide it and not let the public know
Talking about we have to investigate
It’s obvious the cop is full of hate
There was no reason under the sun
Why the cop had to reach for his taser or his gun
After he pulled the trigger, it was way too late
Mr. Oscar Grant had met his fate (death)
Now the cop has left another family to grieve
Because the daughter will grow up without her father
That she will never see
All because the cop had an itchy trigger
Probably said to himself it’s just one less (shhh)
