If being radical is grasping from the root, that's just what I'll do, that's just what I'll do

They kneeling in Kente handkerchiefs, calling him George Curry,
Instead of sending Brett Hankison to jail, judge, jury
Yeah the sheriff steady raking in a whale ton of money
But hey they taking the golden girls up out your library!
Feel like y'all ain't fucking hearing me, have I said it wrong?
Defund the CIA and the cops and the pentagon,
I don't give a fuck
Make em raise they money with a telethon
They racism that makes em sick is set in stone so send em off
Spend a billion on keeping our people housed and showered,
An allowance in our pouch and all our kitchen fridges stocked
And you won't have to spend a dime keeping em prison locked,
I really don't understand what makes this decision hard

The idea of abolition's existed a long time
Since before the founding fathers penned their documents,
Ever since they brought us to this continent, a long line,
Of thinkers pondered it, white and black fought for it,
Watching bombs fly for the niggas picking cotton fields
And often still we sitting on trial, slave catchers given badges,
Prisons built all the time
Envision if we prioritized strong ties to the neighborhood
So that they stabler to stop crime?
That's the mission of abolition, it's been this for a minute
In insistence for independence we finna march fight
With our allies on the ballot, in the alleys, with the power of the people
We will finally see freedom for our kind

So in honor of Breonna cause they shot her in her sleep
And in honor of Eric Garner his carotid in a squeeze
And in honor of Rayshard because he'll never push his daughter
On a swing again cause he was in his car and fell asleep
And in honor of Andres Guardado, martyred in the street,
We are organizing, agitating, starting to believe,
That it might take another winter, nother autumn, nother spring
But no matter how long it takes we will abolish the police
