Law Forum : Mississippi African Americans besieged by illegal searches, ACLU lawsuit says

[freddie419]

Y'all ain't never just tripped and pictured
And just looked at the whole situation
Cause once u look at it
You know

(really do)

They don't give a **** about us
They don't give a **** about us
They don't give a **** about us

Thuggin' till the day I die
They don't give a **** about us
And when I start to rise
A hero in their children's eyes
Now they give a **** about us

[Tupac]

Some say ****** is hard headed cause we love to trick
Equipped with game so we bang wit this thuggish ****
I see you trying to hide
Hoping that nobody don't notice
You must always remember you still a member of the hopeless
See ya black like me
So you snap like me
When these devils try to plot
Trap our young black seeds
Look it
Cops are just as crooked as the ****** they chasin'
Lookin' for role models
Our father figures is bases
Some say they expect Illuminati take my body to sleep
****** at the party with they shotties
Just as rowdy as me

Before I flee computer chips
I gotta deal wit brothas flippin
I don't see no devils bleedin'
Only black blood drippin
We can change
Whatcha now say?

I'm watchin ****** work their lives out without pay (huh)
Whatever it takes to switch places wit the bustas on top
I'm bustin' shots make the world stop
They don't give a **** about us

[Chorus]

And if I choose to ride
Thuggin' till the day I die
(Nobody)
Cause they don't give a **** about us
But when I start to rise
A hero in they children's eyes
Now they give a **** about us
And if I choose to ride
Thuggin' till the day I die
Nobody gives a **** about us
But when I start to rise
A hero in they children's eyes
Now they give a **** about us

[EDI]

It's the morning after and now all the laughter is gone
Time to reflect on what you did cause they saying you wrong
I'm sure you had your reasons dawg
I don't doubt you
See the simple fact of the matter is they don't give a **** about you
Or them five mouths you forced to feed (uh-huh)
No including yourself
All you want is what they perceiving as greed
So as you loaded up that mack and continue to buck em
I was on paper
Thinking they don't give a **** about us

[Tupac]

I'm seeing it clearer
Hating the picture in the mirror
They claim we inferior
So why the **** these devils fear ya?
I'm watching my nation die genocide the cause
Expect a blood bath
The aftermath is y'alls
I told ya last album, we need help cause we dying
Give us a chance, help us advance cause we trying
Ignore my whole plea, watching us in disgust
And then they beg when my guns bust
They don't give a **** about us

[Chorus] x2

And if I choose to ride
Thuggin' till the day I die
Nobody gives a **** about us
But when I start to rise
A hero in they children's eyes
Now they give a **** about us

[Kastro]

Now all my homies got love for me
Down to catch a slug for me
Guaranteed to bleed deeply
Now that's love
****
Nobody else could give a ****
If I'm tore down, from the floor down
Six-feet deep in the cut
What the **** done went wrong
How long will I be mourned?
When I'm gone, same song
Ain't gave a **** all along
And who am I to blame em?
Just do or die through the rainin'
Since they don't give a ****
I don't
Feel what I'm saying?

[Kadafi]

Now thug ****** die but multiply in doubles
Wrapped in plastic
Or closed casket for our troubles
Pressed in times
We busted like bubbles
With the police
This nation's peace sent here to run you
Now look at what this crooked world has come to
I grew up on the other side of perfect, a life of hurtin'
Man I still hustle, so I'm dyin certain
So I spent your time in poor and working
I see no reason
So I stay ballin' season to season
Why you stuck thinking that they give a ****?

[Napolean]

You tell me my world is in peace, but ***** your lying
Cause half of my ******, long gone, buried in the dirt just for trying
Sometimes I think my block is dying
And that it's awful
To wake up to another day, **** ain't change that all fool
I wake up sweatin, dreamin, coughin
Seein' me upside down backwards head twisted
While I'm layin in the coffin
The **** comes around so often
So tell me something
Before I take it out on the world, and get to dumpin'
***** I been so through pain go through the struggle
Doin the same thing you did at my age and that's hustlin
On the edge of straight bustin'
Well since you don't give a ****
I be frontin
And I'ma drink my Hennessey like it ain't nothin

[Outro] x2

Now if I choose to ride, thuggin' till the day I die
They don't give a **** about us
While I'm kickin rhymes, getting to their children's minds
Now they give a **** about us

They wanna see us die, they kick us every time we try
They don't give a **** about us
So while I'm getting high, I'm watching as the world goes by
Cause they don't give a **** about us

 

[freddie419]

you are mad because you came in my thread trying to make a fool outta me, and it back-fired.

Anyone can see that YOU are attempting to make a fool of me and my views. So what, no one agrees with me

Two different things.

Yes, there are AAs who wanted the system to be harder on CRIME. They wanted to rid their neighbors of CRIMINALS, specifically drug dealers and users, imo. But, that doesn't translate to RANDOM STOP AND FRISK of every AA or Latino citizen as the stats infer.

They weren't asking for the racial profiling case of Johnny Cochran in Los Angeles,
http://www.eonline.com/photos/18206...he-people-v-o-j-simpson-fact-v-fiction/685384

They weren't talking about the arrest of Henry "Skip" Gates, who was arrested for breaking into his own home,
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/06/30/AR2010063001356.html

I believe they were talking about drug dealers and users that could be searched with JUST CAUSE. Not just RANDOM AAs. I could agree with that. But, that is not what we are talking about here.

Remember the stats:

PS: This is not personal. It is not about me or my family. My family and I are not so far removed from the AA communities you speak of. We have invested in those communities and we have owned businesses in those communities. Have you?

LOL!! Well dear, you live in a posh gated community where crime is practically zip and/or hidden behind closed doors. I don't hold that against you. Your family as well as yourself have paid your dues and, you all are now entitled to reap the benefits.


What ticks me off is when you look over your shoulder and figure you know what's best for the have-nots.


You are clearly towing that party political line, or should I say dragging a dead horse around, I won't laugh.


If Whites were equal in numbers/stats to Blacks being incarcerated, busted for drug offences, or stop and frisk make you feel better?. Would you then be able to sleep at night in your cosy hamlet, LOL!!.


My mom and dad were PROUD lower working class, my dad worked at Manchester docks and my mom was a seamstress. It was drummed into my brothers and sister to fend for ourselves; find solutions to the problems we face; don't come crying to us, there was no mollycoddling in our house. My sister left home when she was fourteen because she grew tired of her brothers protecting her, she venomously made it clear that we were embarrassing her, we just laughed at her LOL!!, BLESS her cotton socks.


There are no millionaires in my family like there are in yours sweetheart. My family are proud lower working class but we still wanted for nothing - if we wanted something then we would just go get it.


You are mistaken if you think some dusty arse statistics and charts will convince me that you know what's best for lower working classes living a crime, drug infested neighbourhoods. Those stats are more akin to pulling the ladder up when you're done dumping them. By leaving out a solution to the problem you are inciting violence as the only solution IMHO.


Imho, the real statistics are hidden from our view and only privy to the likes of Bush/Obama/Trump..what we're left with are some old dusty arse stats that are designed to keep the masses divided i.e., you produce some stats - I in turn scurry off to find stats that counter yours, and so the cycle continues - meanwhile the underlying problems we face go unchecked.

And, Freddie YOU DO NOT LIVE ANYWHERE NEAR THE HOOD. So, lets clear that up. You USED to live in the hood.
