I Wanna Know What Love Is

"Do you remember when we were young and impressionable and taught to believe everything the Great White father told us?" How many girls stay awake all night Too scared to sleep and too scared to fight back I know you know what I'm talking about Another woman killed and hardly a pout about it Green River Killer my fucking ass The cops have gotta be deaf, dumb and spastic To not catch the killer of a hundred women I guess it'd be different if they thought we were human I wanna know what love is What the fuck if we all got guns To off the fucking pigs and all the other motherfuckers Raping the children they paint like dolls Jon Benet didn't scream cuz she never fucking was Come on now the police aren't gonna save you They're part of the problem that society gave you Locking up black men for whistling in the wind You see a mirage when you call the cop your friend I wanna know what love is The killers and the cops give us special advice Like cross your legs and act fucking nice While they kill us off old and fucking young For breathing, relieving and having fun They'll keep you scared so you have to have a boyfriend And take your kids away if you're a la la lesbian Arrest you for whoring then rape you in the car It's time we point the fingers at who the real criminals are I wanna know what love is I want you to show me So I'll stay awake almost every night A pin in my hand and in the other a knife Cuz I'd rather be scared and fight back Then be some dick's maid, babe or wife (When they kick at your front door)
