Текст песни: Rest In Power + перевод

Sanford Police Department

There’s a real suspicious guy, he’s up to no good

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

They say that, uh, time heals all wounds. It does not

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

You killed my son

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:

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
