Staten Island Ferry

lyrics

Lady justice took her blindfold off saw a black girl crying and a new york cop
Said i come from the land of authority Eric Garner had it coming ain’t it plain to see
Now I heard about the chokehold that put him to rest but he shouldn’t been out selling loosie cigarettes
And plus Pantaleo’s eight years on the street some family in the force he’d really take some heat
If we took away his badge and took away his gun be one more black man out on the run
And I know he’s been on the wrong side of the right like the time he stripped searched them two boys in
plain sight
We shouldn’t be a looking to deep into the past the first should stay first the last stay last
And rumor has it Eric he was fixing to sue for that cavity search under a sky blue
This city it don’t need that kinda press dead or in jail now we shouldn’t care less
Let’s write this in the papers put this in the books show this country just how justice looks
Arrest the only witness on a phony gun charge and give that cop a raise let him really live large
Lets this be a lesson to not the masters but the many
This is what you get when you ride that staten island ferry
