This is my reaction to the murder of George Floyd and the evil in positions of power. Free download. If you decide to pay for the song, I will donate your purchase to the Official George Floyd Memorial Fund (www.gofundme.com/f/georgefloyd).

lyrics

A crooked shield on a crooked cop
Kneeling down to evil stealing freedoms ensured
The forgery is his motto of protection
Since the suffocating evil was allowed to serve

The crooked shield goes crooked to the top
There were four on Floyd but POTUS makes five
Condoning shots fired at his citizens
Already in fear for their lives

Broken and breathless
To finally see change
The suffocating evil
Stays knee deep in hate
Keeping people down
In constant pain
If there’s no justice
Then the evil remains

The power seethes this evil
Don’t be deceived by this evil
A disease to the people
Can’t breathe with this evil
It’s the suffocating evil

Reinforcements arrived to back the stranglehold
Uniforms of peace turned to uniforms of war
Dozens out for change put in chains before the killer
So we start suffocating evil to be no more

Start suffocating evil out of every crooked place
From every suffocating street where evil’s shed a tear
And most of all to take away the evil’s air
And elect not to have evil in office next year
