Untouchable
[911 DISPATCHER CALL]
911, do you need police, fire, medical?
Um, maybe both, I'm not sure, there's just someone screaming outside
Okay, and is it a male, or female?
There's gunshots
Okay. Alright, well we do have officers on the way. Just call us back if you do hear or see anything else suspicious, like any vehicles leaving or anything like that, okay?
Okay
Alright, thank you
Bye
Bye
[Verse 1: Skee-Lo]
Can't walk these dungeons these streets
I'm from them but it hurts my bunions
And I'm ready to snap, I'm feeling raw like onions
And I'm trying to get paid, but these cops they raid
Niggas run like roaches, caskets carried in coaches, I ain't going out like that
Trayvon got shot last week, they left him dead in the streets and let the killer get away like that. (mann)
Can you imagine how his moms feel?
There's a pain in her heart and it won't heal Try to teach your kids right, teach them don't steal
Then they grow up anyway and they get killed, by the neighborhood watch
Like we gone get your ass in the neighborhood, watch
And it just won't stop, the war won't cease
We just won't peace, we just want
[Hook: C-MOE]
Clear skies
There are no clouds in our way
Tear drops never fall from our face
Unless it's for the people that we love
You can see us, but we're untouchable, untouchable
You can see us, but we're untouchable, untouchable
We are untouchable
[Interlude (spoken)]
Our son was murdered, and we, we miss him. He was murdered and we're not given any answers, and it's, it's very disturbing. Um, I feel betrayed by the Sanford Police Department, um, and there's no way that I can instill trust in them, in investigating this crime
[Verse 2: Skee-Lo]
It's insanity trying to suppress the freaking enemy
He wants to lift his self above GOD, it's only vanity
Nothing ever hand to me, got to get a job now
We in a recession, will I have to steal and rob now to feed my daughter?
On this new world order? I ask God is the time getting shorter? And He said yes, 'cause we the lost sheep, we the Jews
The people that suffer is the people He choose
So all of my folks and people I ain't seen
Keep your hands in the air if you been fighting to keep a dream Wish you luck remember to keep winners on your team
Keep your faith in Allah, and the time won't seem
Like shines getting caught in the gleam and then it's gone
While you stuck trying to calculate what went wrong? This is why I had to bring it to you put it in song
'Cause you and I could have been Trayvon
It's going to be..
[Hook: C-MOE]
Clear skies
There are no clouds in our way
Tear drops never fall from our face
Unless it's for the people that we love
You can see us, but we're untouchable, untouchable
You can see us, but we're untouchable, untouchable
We are untouchable
[Outro: Skee Lo/Martin Luther King Jr.]
Uh, we wanna dedicate this to the parents of Trayvon Martin, who lost his life in Sanford, Florida, and to all the mothers and fathers across the nation that have lost their daughters and sons to senseless viles. You will always be in our hearts. Untouchable
When the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence...this note was a promise that all men...would be guaranteed life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. It is obvious today that America has defaulted on this promissory note insofar as her citizens of color are concerned...Now is the time...those who hope that the Negro needed to blow off steam and will now be content will have a rude awakening if the nation returns to business as usual
