lyrics

Do what you're told.
Offer no resistance.
Stripped of your freedoms.
Loss of your existence.
If you stop, you'll drop in the name of the law.
It's standard procedure, murder you and your dog.
Don't try and survive.
It's standard procedure not to value human life.
Children forged weapons, declared an attack.
Your child's life ended for holding a snack.
Police brutality’s on the rise, but for the first time it’s right before your eyes.
No respect, no lesson learned.
A paid vacation is no sentence for murder.
Stop resisting.
I hear the voice persisting.
Lay like Charles Kinsey.
Die like Daniel Shaver.
Don't try and survive.
It's standard procedure not to value human life.

SECOND LIFE: THE FUTURE IS 2020.
GROWING OLDER GETTING COLDER.
WHEN LAW BECOMES TYRANNY
RESISTANCE BECOMES DUTY
STEP UP.

I shoot back.
No option, I tried your way.
No other choice.
I shoot back.
Not another face on a t-shirt.
Not another hashtag.
Shoot back.
