Sabzi - Oskar Barnack ∞ Oscar Grant lyrics

[Intro: "Oskar Barnack" by Sabzi] [Sabzi used Geo's Leica camera to produce clicks and whirs which steadily become a rhythmic instrumental for the song "Oscar Grant"] [Song: "Oscar Grant" begins at 1:16] [Hook: Geo] (We got the right to bear arms but...) Shoot the cops, shoot the cops, shoot the cops Take your cameras out your pockets people Shoot the cops, shoot the cops, shoot the cops Take your cameras out your pockets people [Verse 1: Geo] If they wanna shoot at us, got a right to shoot em up They shoot us in the back, then they say its from the front You're warned even if you aren't armed They will find an excuse to do you harm if they think you're out of line In every city's urban jurisdiction you will find Some people making livings out of creeping from behind And even if behaving most the time, man they know, if an officer's to blame they need to let it go With a family at home, a mortgage to support In times when its hella hard as f** to find a job If you wanna keep yours, you better not inform Don't wanna be the side on the wrong side of the law But guess what the people got a weapon of their own The lens and a shutter built into a mobile phone Evidence admissible in court even more more documented cases of what thing going on [Hook] [Verse 2: Geo] I hear them saying that this sh** don't ever happen in Seattle And if it does it's really just a couple bad apples But if you're keeping count you will see the sh** is not the apple it's the tree It's rotten underneath Oh say can you see no way that its true they don't wanna see another south central '92 Or Seattle '99 Even if it happens what they're saying on the news Bad people mad justifying the abuse And youth, especially the ones with darker features being targeted to boot And true, some people can't handle the truth Now keep that feeling in mind when you pull the camera out and ask a pig to smile at you I'm ain't talking one I'm talking 3 or 4 or 5 What you so afraid of if you ain't committing crime We are merely doing what a citizen should do Better act right if I were you The world is watching you [Hook]
