Story Behind The Song

With all the police brutality on the news lately, I needed to write about it.

Song Description

This song is a story of Erik Garner being choked to death for selling cigerettes, but it could be about any number of incidents happening throughout our country regarding police

Lyrics

Call off the dogs
They are right outside your window
They are right outside your window as we speak
Call off the dogs
Holler if you need me, they are trained to attack you and me
Call off the dogs
They would bite the hand that feeds them
Don't you understand they are no friend of man
Call off the dogs
They are neither saint nor demon
And they're runnin wild all accross our land

Here I lie, Here I lie, Here I lie
Someone help me I can't breath
Here I lie, here I lie,
Someone help me

Call off the dogs
Only they disturb the stillness
You can tell them by the company they keep
Call off the dogs
They will work in to a frenzy
My body's tired, my baby's tryin to sleep

Here I lie, Here I lie, Here I lie
Someone help me I can't breath
Here I lie, here I lie,
Someone help me

Step back from your window
Get back in your bed
There's nothin to see here
You hear what I said
Step back from your window
Get back in your bed
And shut off that camera now

Here I lie, Here I lie,
Someone help me I can't breath
Here I lie, here I lie,
Someone help me I can't breath
Here I lie, Here I lie
Someone help me I can't breath
Here I lie, here I lie
Someone help me
Someone help me
