Black and White

(Edward McBride)

This song is about the relationship between today's black youth and the police in the USA. This young guy is not an upstanding citizen but does not deserve this outcome and ironically he does not carry a gun. Notwithstanding that the police have a very difficult job to do.

So yeah, I am black
I am a drug dealer
not a squealer
I am a pimp
to service white guys

The cops know me
get their blow from me
I have no gun
It ain't no fun
I drop to my knees
as they put on the squeeze
The white cops call me nigger
they think that
they are bigger

The next night
they are here
and I have some real fear
I run away from them
the white cop gives the chase
as he pulls out his gun
and I am all alone
I pull out my phone
He shoots me anyway

He does not call for help
he knows I am bleeding bad
I almost pass away
the dude will
not be charged
I am a lower class
My people make a noise
but they have no real voice

The time is coming soon
when young black men revolt
MLK he tried
and all the world cried
