\"bluewall\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Whenever the people try to get you off our back,<\/p>\n

You pretend you\u2019re the victim of an unprovoked attack.<\/p>\n

The pig is a foul traducer<\/p>\n

It was Huey P. Newton who introduced the<\/p>\n

Term<\/p>\n

So the people could learn<\/p>\n

To stop fearing the police<\/p>\n

Politicians and racist beasts<\/p>\n

Who prey upon and attack<\/p>\n

The Brown and Black<\/p>\n

And other<\/p>\n

Communities of color<\/p>\n

And the poor<\/p>\n

Cuz before<\/p>\n

We saw them as above challenge<\/p>\n

Terrorized into silence by their violence<\/p>\n

Living paralyzed with fear<\/p>\n

Making clear<\/p>\n

The awe had to be wiped ALL the way away<\/p>\n

Or we\u2019d always stay<\/p>\n

In this state of paralysis<\/p>\n

So a corrected analysis<\/p>\n

Had to be brought to bear<\/p>\n

This foul traducer was really NOTHING TO FEAR<\/p>\n

Their abuse could be checked if<\/p>\n

We took a collective<\/p>\n

Approach<\/p>\n

Watch the watchers like the Panthers did<\/p>\n

Eliminate the rich roaches where we live.<\/p>\n

The term pig portrays the cops as caricatures<\/p>\n

Not the hero brainwash but Animal Farm characters<\/p>\n

Armed enforcers of the rich and powerful<\/p>\n

Here to keep the poor<\/p>\n

Corraled like bulls<\/p>\n

Good cop bad cop the game is old<\/p>\n

The carrot and the stick<\/p>\n

Two tactics one goal<\/p>\n

To maintain control<\/p>\n

Deny the people\u2019s basic needs<\/p>\n

Protecting the rich parasites who feed<\/p>\n

On our wealth<\/p>\n

On our health<\/p>\n

Whether Republicans or Democrats<\/p>\n

All of them are rats<\/p>\n

Millionaires who don\u2019t care<\/p>\n

About where we living at.<\/p>\n

At the margins young Black Brown and poor<\/p>\n

Whenever the cops come in crime rates soar<\/p>\n

Cuz they ARE the source<\/p>\n

They leave things get resolved by community recourse<\/p>\n

Minneapolis 2020 proved the case<\/p>\n

Pigs got pushed out the people took over the space<\/p>\n

George Floyd\u2019s lynching lit the spark<\/p>\n

Videos exposed a world kept in the dark<\/p>\n

The suffering we endure right here<\/p>\n

Terrorizing people of color the Amerikan nightmare<\/p>\n

It was a repeat of the exposures of the 60s<\/p>\n

Riots and the Panthers in response to pig brutality<\/p>\n

So the system countered with<\/p>\n

An entertainment industry spinning pro-cop myths<\/p>\n

Of glorified mole\u2019s rats and hero pigs<\/p>\n

Whitewashing the foul shit they always did.<\/p>\n

When the people cease being silent<\/p>\n

About abusive police control<\/p>\n

The pigs instigate violence<\/p>\n

Then claim we can\u2019t survive without their slave patrols<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the same Manifest Destiny and racist lies<\/p>\n

Without white systems of control natives can\u2019t live civilized<\/p>\n

Fuck defunding the police<\/p>\n

At very least<\/p>\n

We can create our own peace<\/p>\n

And security<\/p>\n

In our own communities<\/p>\n

Rely on ourselves to serve and protect<\/p>\n

Stop them murdering our young and kneeling on our necks<\/p>\n

Breaking up our families like plantation days<\/p>\n

Arresting us by the millions<\/p>\n

Shipped hundreds of miles away<\/p>\n

Where the pigs come from anyway?<\/p>\n

There were none in our communities back in the days<\/p>\n

During Jim Crow their role keep the races separated<\/p>\n

When legal segregation ended then they invaded<\/p>\n

Internal containment was the plan<\/p>\n

Evolved from slave patrols and the Ku Klux Klan.<\/p>\n

When U.S. lies about racial equality burst<\/p>\n

They gave badges to Black who act even worse<\/p>\n

Insecure with something to prove<\/p>\n

Can\u2019t let their peers feel they identify with you<\/p>\n

There are NO good cops, keep in mind<\/p>\n

They ALL stand behind the thin blue line<\/p>\n

Defy it they\u2019re treated like an illegal foreigner<\/p>\n

Or hunted down by their own like Christopher Dormer<\/p>\n

From those who like to hurt kill and lie<\/p>\n

To all the rest who go along and turn a blind eye<\/p>\n

Male, female<\/p>\n

Other, white or Black<\/p>\n

A pig is a pig they ALL got each other\u2019s back<\/p>\n

Above the law modern day Lynch mob<\/p>\n

The REAL organized criminals-<\/p>\n

They rape kill dope deal and rob<\/p>\n

In our communities they\u2019ve never kept the peace<\/p>\n

NWA got one thing right<\/p>\n

\u201cFuck tha Police”<\/p>\n

Whenever the people try to get you off our back,<\/p>\n

You pretend you’re the victim of an unprovoked attack.<\/p>\n
