letra de rain - kieran geralde

[produced by harlow beats]

[intro: diamond reynolds]
please don’t tell me this lord
please jesus don’t tell me that he’s gone
please don’t tell me that he’s gone
please officer don’t tell me you just did this to him
you shot 4 bullets into him sir
he was just getting his licensing and registration sir

[verse 1: kieran geralde]
another cop rests, another man dying
but looking in, another man is crying
the whole world grieves, believes that they’re trying
but actions bring reactions, man you lying
he got shot 6 times for selling cd’s
believe me it’s not c-ke or dope, i’m in disbelief
that cops protect us? they’re like predators
and we’re the prey that prays we’re better dead
like the man earning cash getting it right
he’s not alone with 6 shots ending his life
one shot to the hearts of his family
one shot to the cops’ foothold in this calamity
one shot from the hand of the justice system
one shot from the mouth of the politician
one shot burned in eyes of society
one shot for your mind it’s time to think this entirely
and direly
feel fiery, without firing
speak out admirably, to be inspiring
let the change talk through inquiry
but the irony, money talks more through bribery
to show lives aren’t primary
another loss is too tiring
i’m so done with this whole entirety

[hook: nj chesnut]
staring at my window pane
seeing the same old things
wonder when it will change
can the rain wash these chains away?
ohhh, can the rain wash these chains away?
ohhh, can the rain wash these chains away?

[verse 2: kieran geralde]
do all lives matter or are we still numbers?
it’s only been answered at the hands of the gunner
choosing who lives or who gets to suffer
judging the books solely based on their color
these words were never heard from dr. king’s speech
we’re living his dream? more like tossing in his sleep
he can’t rest in peace due to alarms
sounding off cause his heart’s been ripped wide apart
nobody wants a part in sparing a life
cop, man, dark, white don’t equal a price
violence will never mean breaking ice
neither does silence mean you’re making it right
you truly like each other or is it the culture?
picking up the dead pieces like a vulture
we like to sing, talk, and dance like them
but does your helping hand want to stand up for them?
we’re blinded by political happiness!
i care about critical activists
change is a learning curve for anyone, me included
it takes a lot to learn for some naive students

[verse 3: kieran geralde]
the sun shines bright as the mother of light
its rays has the power to raise new life
on lands that the plants grew, babies were born
into a warm paradise where the motto was more
plenty of food but soon to be torn away
the winter storms came back swarming for days
their winds cold as a k!ll from a cannibal
the babies wound up turning into animals
starving, guarding what’s left
barks turned to bites, blood became death
the sun cried rain, the cloud shade sorrow
rivers wash pain away for a new tomorrow

[outro: cameron sterling]
i feel all police shouldn’t be punished for other police’s crimes
there are some that are bad, but all aren’t bad
continuing protesting
protest the right way
protesting in peace
not beating the police
not police beating the people
you have to make things better by making peace
