We are not even 1 out of 99
SSI, Section8 every month we stand in line
Department Of Justice
Don’t care about us

Follow me lets get deep
D.O.J. hand in hand with PDs
Investigating themselves like masturbation
The outcome is the same, a big sticky mess
Black robes, Black & Blue but no Black justice

Police brutality against people with disabilities
Don’t make headlines
YouTube videos clear cut case
Should be the ace
It is just more mace in the victim’s face

Can you get deep?
Blood money from cities
Lawyers drooling at $$ signs after federal charges are dropped
Make us silent looking for millions
While corrupt police continue to walk the streets pop pop pop

Tipping over wheelchairs
Snatching off colostomy bags
Pulling aside three wheel trikes
Telling us we are drunk as we walk

Whose job is it to implement laws?
Same people that continue to give a free ride to cops
D.O.J. do your job or is it time for another budget cut
Slash all the fat, men in Black suites in legislature halls

Dwight, slammed down on the sidewalk
Sandy, pushed to the sidewalk
Sterner, dumped to the ground
Shequita, knocked to the sidewalk
Black & Blue causing blood floods on city sidewalks

Before you vote can I have a minute to get deep
Police take orders from higher ups
Mayors, Governors & Legislators
Campaign donations led to police departments
Democrats, Republicans, Green Party & Independents

Us verse them, point our own finger at ourselves asking
Where are people with disabilities & our organizations
During & after cases of police brutality
Neli Latson sitting in prison
While Autism Speaks hold useless charities

Thousands for occupied
Thousands abused behind bars
Thousands raped in-group homes
Thousands kicked out of shelters
Millions worldwide getting sick and tired

More than training
More than reform
More than charities
More than politician promises
This poem is over your head I took you deep?
