My praises to the honest police officers who risk their lives to protect their community.
lyrics
6. Flaw
V1:
a pledge of service and protection, but something here is not right/
you see I'm one of the "good guys" so why am I nervous everytime you're beside me at a stoplight?/
when I'm in need, I pray that you'll be there in a flash/
and that your preconceived notions are buried and stashed back at the precinct/
I ask my dad, "why am I 30 years old and I'm scared of a badge?"/
you see its funny but I'm not laughing/
why do you continue to belittle me? It riddles me/
silly me captain, actually I'm not on parole/
just like I wasn't 30 seconds back when you already asked me/
and so they ask why I'm shook by beast/
because lives keep ending and they seem to all look like me/
and if we cry out they'll treat us like we're overreacting/
on social media they'll meet us with no compassion/
because these folks cant imagine living in a broken system/
so to make it all make sense to them, they demonize the victim/
lets all take shots at a dead man/
show his flaws, hopefully the captured it on webcam/
at what point do we matter? When does our demand for justice become justified?/
and have you ever thought that maybe things were actually as bad as we perceive it/
but due to lack of melanin you don't receive it, and so therefore you don't see it/
because if you did, well then you would have to actually believe it/
then you would have to actually believe it/
flaw/

I’ve been rockin Ozay Moore’s music since Lightheaded and I still find it some of the best to listen to. I can’t get enough boom nap, especially with a central theme of Christ and his faithfulness in the life of Ozay Moore. It also features some dope artists on this one. The intro is one of the best introductions to an album I’ve heard, and I don’t say that lightly. Each track is its own thing, yet blending well together. It’s overall just dope! Macklyn
