Rube - No Questions lyrics

[Verse 1] Brittle baby No ill intent for the little ladies Walking past his property Asking him where some flowers may be Searching for maypops In the state of the gameco*ks He muttered I'm afraid not Mary and Betty made off It didn't take long For them to be found in a ditch Hounds and hicks surrounded grounds And found them both pounded by stick Oh how is this? They said it must've been the little negro He seen 'em last let's k** his a** Their families need a hero Which means we need a villain He'd be the perfect De Niro Their families need some answers We can't just leave them with zero No reports were made His trial just lasted a day No defense was laid Cause they had nothing to gain from the case The only evidence was an officers claim That he came forward with the truth That he's a youth who just battered their face Embattled he's shackled a babe Be rattled no matter your age The cattle who carries their purse And spends his last days in a cage His family had to flee So they couldn't be there A white court sold him out like he's retail The electric chair was too big Cause he was young and skinny The mask and restraints Both slipped off of little George Stinney [Chorus] The light devil gets his name on a shirt The dark angel lives in danger then a grave in the dirt They're both famous for the way their situations at work One's dead one's alive tell me what is it worth All light ain't devils, all dark ain't angels Being light gets paid, being dark gets fatal The system made dark skin synonymous with criminality Cops'll pop your dark a**, no questions [Verse 2] He was only 12 years old Openly toting a bb gun Potential threat, okay No one open to see he's none The caller said the gun he held Was more than likely fake She said he was a juvenile The dispatch missed it by mistake Supposedly How you not competent when you supposed to be How you not tell the cops All this info when they approached the scene Regardless The cops shouldn't of shot without a warning Ain't they supposed to tell you To drop the gun before unloading? Ain't they supposed to respect the fact You got a family too? They understand this hurts Relations with the boys in blue Yet they'll roll up on a youth And off him right in front of you Describe him as a man Not do a damn to try to save the dude That's exactly what happened they got to clappin' Frank Garmback and Timothy Loehmann no question asking The cop criminal faction is now relaxing Laughing at the fact internal affairs is no question asking Cleveland hired Timothy Loehmann When no one else would Independence fired him Poor performance was no good Frank Garmback cost the city Of Cleveland a hundred k His use of force excessive Franky didn't know how to play [Chorus]
