They shot him in the back
Now it's a crime to be black
So don't act surprised
When it gets vandalized
Call it what it is
Call it what it is
Call it - what it is
Murder
Good cops
Bad cops
White cops
Black cops
But got to call it what it is
Call it what it is
Call it - what it is
Murder, murder, murder
Trayvon Martin
Ezell Ford
Michael Brown
And so many, many more
But call it what it is
Call it what it is
Call it - what it is
Murder, murder
Government (ain't easy)
Policing (ain't easy)
Hard times (ain't easy)
Oppression (ain't easy)
Racism (ain't easy)
Fear (ain't easy)
Suffering (ain't easy)
But call it what it is
Call it what it is
Call it - what it is
Murder, murder
Gun control
Mind control
Self-control
We've dug ourselves a hole
Call it what it is
Call it what it is
Call it - what it is
Murder
Got to call it what it is
Call it what it is
Call it - what it is
Murder
Call it what it is
Call it what it is
Call it - what it is
