Eric Garner by Dirty Water

Verse 1:
Eric Garner stood on a sidewalk trying to sell some cigarettes
5 cops come hasslin'- push his face into the cement
7 minutes go by and I haven't heard an ambulance yet
[As not one look of concern crawls across the cops eyes]
As he lies there- lifeless
Chorus:
NYPD has a chokehold- I can't breathe
NYPD has a chokehold- I can't breathe
NYPD has a father taking choke hold- I can't breathe
NYPD has a father taking choke hold- I can't breathe
Verse 2:
1 judge
1 jury of his peers
2 cops
And 1 gavel
"Has the jury reached a verdict?"
"Yes we have your honor"
"Not Guilty!"
"Not Guilty?!?"
Chorus:
NYPD has a chokehold- no indictment
NYPD has a chokehold- no justice
NYPD had a mother fucking chokehold- no indictment
NYPD has a mother fucking chokehold- no justice
Verse 3:
NYC has a chokehold and Texas has a beatdown
Baltimore loves torture and Chicago doesn't stop the murder
It's all over- everywhere you go
but if you're going down to New York City-
just remember these few things;
Chorus:
NYPD has a chokehold
