Abolitionist's Lament Lyrics

Eric Garner sold loose cigarettes

But no one else perceived him as a threat

Was killed by officer Pantaleo

That banned chokehold ain't banned today

So give more money to the cops

We're gonna give more money to the cops

We're gonna give em more training till it stops

We're gonna give em all the gadgets

Keep their guns and keep their badges

Gonna give more money to the cops

Freddie Gray did time for selling drugs

But mostly didn't bother anyone

Was arrested and for 30 minutes

Lost his life in a van unbuckled in it

So give more money to the cops

We're gonna give more money to the cops

We're gonna give em more training till it stops

We're gonna give em all the gadgets

Keep their guns and keep their badges

Gonna give more money to the cops

George Floyd went down to the corner store

As he had done so many times before

The shop called the cops cause his bill looked fake

A pig held him down, and his life he'd take

So give more money to the cops

We're gonna give more money to the cops

We're gonna give em more training till it stops

We're gonna give em all the gadgets

Keep their guns and keep their badges

Gonna give more money to the cops

We're gonna give more money to the cops

We're gonna give em more training till it stops

We're gonna give em all the gadgets

Keep their guns and keep their badges

Gonna give more money to the cops
