about

This song is a timeline of police brutality.
From the sadness of the event, to the protests, to the officers usually
getting no consequence at all. I made it to show how cyclical this thing is. I wrote it in 2016, and it feels like we've
seen it happen 100 times since then.

lyrics

6 Million Ways to die I chose all
Heart sunk deep into my chest, the phone call
My knees got weak then i fled and drove off
A voice saying sorry to say this but man your son didn't make it and damn the videos taken it seemed awful
Cops had a small altercation and tee'd off on him.
Spectators screaming and pleading to ease off of him, dammit, there's 3 on top he's panicking panting to breathe damaged in need of oxygen,
Man handled and beaten he's bleeding and leaving consciousness
Doing his best to scream with a copper’s knee on esophagus
Empty pleas for providence
Saying please to the father he wondered what kind of god this
Without a second to swallow the news, all of the news cast crews passed through past to talk with you
Politicians get called and the nearest alderman brought in the mix to comment on violence and how they should be accountable
Niggas like **** , **** and all of them tryna politic even though you've been honest you don't rock with them niggas
The news putting up pictures of the one time your son threw up gang signs cause he was young and he's just following niggas
A million right-wing think pieces and panelists dancing with everything shorthanded of "that's the problem with niggas
These politicians that’s tryna secure a spot in the office going on tour to ensure us that they impartial to niggas
The black celebrity singers and self-proclaimed leaders be making sure they're distinguished from these intolerable niggas
These white celebrities posting a pic of Martin and getting praise in the comments like they was out there to march with that nigga
The city burning as we await for the verdict
People hope for the best but know to expect the worse shit
Another killer walks off free, it goes on
6 million ways to die, I chose all
