Rhymes are uniform words

Salute is saying “hi?”

Slow walks dictate lack of purpose

Like slow walks from bars, empty words — slow bars

That’s why the police run to become officers

That’s why we run to escape bars and only walk to bars everytime we think we have scars

We listen to Bruno Mars, we like stars

The stage is ours, we like cars

Nothing left, we like rights

We’ve lost brothers, sisters and track also

I blame myself for not introducing this as brutal,

We hate brutality

We hate the sound of guns, sound music and the sound of philosophers

Its certain that we love very sound that dictates rampage

How many times have we said that officers are sleeping, police station — no moves?

That’s why we only trust red blood cells

Bullets have made it to the bulletin, huh!

Boys walking down the aisle sometimes without face masks, its nothing

We see no eye to eye, arrest the case your honor

But have we ever dared to listen to the silent shouts of those wish the police were around

Those who wish that a bullet be shot for the safety of their shops

Those boys who wish that a police and rescue them from the mob

Those who receive no paychecks but threats and at such storms, police is the fortress

Those whose uniforms are baking bowl, office-officer

Why should people not be alike but the officers be alike

Is every weapon a rifle?
