A scared cop with a gun
Trembled at the name of Jesus out of a black woman’s mouth
Walked her down with his gun
To her kitchen tiles
And the last resort for her was that pot of hot water on the counter
And coward with a demon who needed a bath
Took her breath away by that sink
And the law gone wash its hands of us like it always does
And the world gone keep on spinning like it always does
Leave us all shook up
Got us all shook up
Cause they so afraid
And we are too.
