Smoke: Burn It Down by Charlie Ray Lyrics
[Intro]
Unknown male: I'm going to tell you a story. There was a time and a place that has yet to exist, where the police were at no restraint and no responsibility for their actions, those actions have caused death. The [???] had endured more than possible and just couldn't take another callous act from the very police sworn to protect and serve them. To combat police arrogance and brutality on the overwhelmed citizen rate, there came into being an entity known simply as Smoke
C.Ray: Yeah, uh-huh. Check me out. Listen, damn it Alfred, turn the signal off. Let them cops deal with this one. Tell Gordon I'm recording
[Verse 1]
Riots and the looting, violence how do we, justify this ignorance provided by the shooting, whites are really staring like we hang from trees and do swing, and fight for them bananas while they blast it on the newsfeed, I respect the peaceful protesters in massive packs, but anything outside of killing cops they probably laugh at that
Don't be surprised when they drop you like a dinner plate and give the fate for acting like them niggas that you imitate
Look, all they gotta do is run and turn the cable on and get a map of how we finna act or how we may respond but it gets worse cause we jump on these records then we reinforce it more until that death you weren't expecting like a free abortion
Now everybody crying in the town hot, they won't indict incite the riot Michael Brown pop
Now we break and burn and rob and steal to no avail, youth ain't learning shit but how to volunteer to go to jail
Yeah burn this bitch down [???], they can shoot a couple more rounds down the street, and maybe we can see a few more families grieve, folks I think he has a pulse but can he breath?
[Verse 2]
Dropped 'em like a drop in the bucket, 31 arrests, so the cops said fuck it
Unprovoked, hit 'em with the choke like it was Chael Sonnen, let him say he couldn't breath until he could inhale nothing
You know my son used to want to be a cop until he saw not only criminals but kids were being shot, so he wants to be a supervillian making beats with pop, become a scientist and be the Hulk if need defeat the cops
Now look, Ion got no spare children, if anything happened to him I couldn't bare living
But are y'all really that stupid to be on video, in memory of ones you loved and lost until ya city going BURN IT DOWN
I agree with Barkley, scumbags, cause Imma shoot before I flee from y'all thieves, then throw a rock through my business, they'll need a mop when I'm finished
While I'm knocking some Sinatra, puffing pop, eating spinach, laughing at the fact that they gon try to retrain cops, it's purely psychological, blood in the streets won't stop (NEVER!)
Now they gon have 'em rock a camera while they make it to justice? Man, they been killing on tape, they just gave 'em a budget
