WHO KILLED GEORGE FLOYD?
Who was it killed George Floyd?
Not I said the cop, I’m just employed
to do a job, and felt annoyed that
Just because he used his weight
To crush his windpipe and suffocate him
On the street in broad daylight, while 3 more officers
Held him down, like in so many other towns.
I only acted in self-defence,
to keep the white folk from attack, he just happens to be black.
You know our policy – Aim to Kill
He shouldn’t have passed that dollar bill.
Who was it killed George Floyd?
It wasn’t I said the passer by.
I pay my tax like all the rest,
And want the cops to keep me safe.
I always do things by the book,
I just stopped to take a look.
He must have done something wrong,
For them to hold him down so long,
I walked away when I heard him shout,
‘I can’t breathe, please let me out’!
Who was it killed George Floyd?
Not I said the teacher who taught him well
In practise for his living hell.
He wouldn’t listen to me at all
However much I made him crawl.
You might say it was neglect, but
He never showed me any respect.
Always expected to finish last,
Always put at the back of class.
I just kept him off the street,
Until his time came to leave.
There’s plenty more where he came from,
Mother’s grieving for another son.
You can say life’s unfair, but don’t blame me,
I wasn’t there.
Who was it killed George Floyd?
Not I said the guy at the Labour exchange,
Even though he was unemployed.
I tried my best to arrange a job,
Sure, it was12 hours a day thatj
Didn’t even cover rent.
By the time you’re paid the money’s spent.
It doesn’t matter what you do,
You’ll find his kind are never content.
I’m not saying I’m better than him,
But it helps to have white skin.
‘Cos every time he gets in line,
There’s a million others to stand behind.
Who was it killed George Floyd?
Not I said the populist journalist,
I just tell it like it is.
I listen to what the people say,
Then turn it ‘round the other way.
Wek check the facts with utmost rigour,
Then make it sound like propaganda.
You can’t deny the facts are true,
It’s just a different point of view.
Ask my editor, he agrees,
It’s all about the sale of copies.
Who was it killed George Floyd?
Not I said the President from his lair
But then, I don’t really care.
Talking to the howling faithful,
Telling them they should be grateful
Living in the land of plenty,
With half the country’s pockets empty.
Using them to take the blame
And make America great again.
To be the first, to be the best,
To fuel the flames of racial unrest,
With cops who acts as judge and jury,
His ‘Home of the Brave – Land of the Free.’
