When The Looting Starts

When the looting starts The shooting starts Acting too tough Makes things rough For the Police and everybody Minneapolis is not Miami Chief Headley has been dead There is no room for hatred Violence begets more violence That's a bad precedence Only the worst presidency Can come up with such a bad theory With such a disastrous formula In the middle of an incendiary saga Intolerance is a sign of immaturity Compassion heals pain and misery Comprehension and ignorance Don't mix in this season with incompetence Knowledge is gained via patience Humility, experience and tolerance When the looting starts The shouting for calm starts The shouting for peace starts The love for country starts The cry for peace starts The healing starts The process for justice starts The brotherhood starts The hate stops The violence stops The lies stop The evil tweets stop The bad raps stop All stupid craps stop When the shooting starts The raving starts Justice is a panacea For a vile and fiery saga.
