Challenging Injustice: Flash Daddy's Anthem Against Corruption
Lyrics
Hear this one for the cowboys on the street
Addressing this song to law enforcement personnel ("cowboys") working on the streets.
Those dirty one who love to crush heads with their feet
Referring to brutal officers who enjoy causing harm by stepping on people's heads.
It went too far
Expressing a belief that things have gone too far.
Doesn't matter how stupid they are
Regardless of their intelligence, their actions remain unacceptable.
All corrupt from the Nil to the Amazone
Indicating corruption exists everywhere, from the Nile to the Amazon.
All unpunished from Paris to Hong-Kong
Highlighting that corrupt behavior goes unpunished globally.
They went too far
Reiterating the belief that actions have crossed a line.
Oh doesn't matter how stupid they are
Emphasizing that intelligence isn't a factor; their actions are unacceptable.
Kick them out
Advocating for the removal of corrupt officers.
Oh yeah kick them out
Reinforcing the call to remove them.
Boasting with their guns
Describing officers boasting about their firearms.
I'll make no bones to hit them hard
Expressing a readiness to confront them firmly.
You can leave this here
Accepting or allowing certain actions to occur.
We can leave this here
Repeating the idea of acceptance or allowing.
A hand or an eye just disappear, just disappear, they disappear
Implying the disappearance of body parts as a result of their actions.
It went too far there is no doubt there is no doubt
Reiterating that actions have crossed a line without doubt.
I don't blame them all but I hate them all
Not blaming every officer but expressing a strong dislike for them collectively.
From abroad, from my town I'm nervous when they come around
Feeling anxious or uncomfortable when officers, whether local or foreign, are present.
They can hide it with a plague but I see my enemies
Knowing the truth despite attempts to hide it; recognizing adversaries.
Wearing moustache
Pointing out a characteristic, possibly mocking their appearance.
They wont get me, they wont get me, they wont get me
Asserting that they won't catch or harm the speaker.
Oh they were not forced to sign
Suggesting they weren't coerced into their roles.
They should give up, or fucking feel ashamed
Encouraging them to either stop their actions or feel ashamed.
They are thousands but we are millions
Stating that while they might be numerous, the opposition (millions) is greater.
They should be the ones, the ones to be afraid
Suggesting officers should fear repercussions for their actions.
Oh they are all the same
Asserting that all officers are similar in their actions.
If you kick a cop you can do it in my name
Supporting the idea of kicking a police officer as a form of protest.
Kick them out
Repeating the call to remove corrupt officers.
Oh yeak kick them out
Reiterating the need to remove them.
Boasting with their guns I'll make no bones to hit them hard
Repeating the description of officers boasting about their guns and the speaker's readiness to confront them.
You can leave this here
Allowing or accepting certain actions to occur.
We can leave this here
Repeating the idea of acceptance or allowing.
Just imagine your face when it's your son who will get shot, who will get shot
Highlighting the shock and concern one would feel if their own child became a victim of police brutality.
It went too far
Reaffirming that actions have crossed a line without doubt.
There is no doubt, there is no doubt
Reiterating the belief that actions have gone too far.
