Rest In Power Meaning
| [[Intro: Dispatcher + George Zimmerman] Sanford Police Department There’s a real suspicious guy, he’s up to no good [Chorus: Black Thought] Rest in power, rest in paradise If I could change matters, I would spare a life ‘Cause lives matter, there’s clearly nothing as dear as life You have become a symbol in the spirit life Rest in power, rest in paradise If I could change matters, I would spare a life ‘Cause lives matter, there’s clearly nothing as dear as life You have become a symbol in the spirit life [Interlude 1] They say that, uh, time heals all wounds. It does not [Verse 1: Black Thought] In America, one tradition that lasts Is black blood woven into the fibers o’ the flag Not addressing the problems of the past To nowhere fast, but following the path So called “leaders” on hire for the Klan Still rapin’ and settin’ fire to the land Well that’s the climate, how can I become a man If survival is a triumph and we got the underhand? Listen: One killer, one child, one weapon The shooter was unthreatened, seventy-one seconds So many unanswered questions, I see reflections of myself I feel like in fatherhood we are connected Too long before the shooter was arrested So wrong, worldwide, we’ve been affected To them it’s real, sins of the father remembered still For every Trayvon Martin, there was an Emmett Till , [Interlude 2] You killed my son [Verse 2: Black Thought] How many more kids will we wait for them to kill? My tears collectin’ like raindrops on the windowsill If the wounds heal, the memories never fade I wonder if you’re in heaven’s eleventh grade Six thousand two hundred and thirty days Too young of an early age, such evil and worldly ways The thing in which we believe, the way in which we behave The way in which we’ve evolved, the monster that we became, listen: [Chorus: Black Thought] Rest in power, rest in paradise To all the babies too young to have had to pay the price ‘Cause lives matter, there’s clearly nothing as dear as life You have become a symbol in the spirit life Rest in power, rest in paradise Know as long as you still got somebody here to fight Your lives matter, there’s clearly nothing as dear as life You have become a symbol in the spirit life] |
