In Good Cop Bad Cop, Ice cube accuses the police of lack of empathy for the people with the lyrics "they don't give a damn who gets shot." The song “Black Lives Matter'' was dedicated to now famously known George Floyd. Teejayx6 also addresses his concern and fear of being brutalized by the police in the lyrics "I need a bulletproof vest to walk in the street.” Lastly, the song "Police Brutality" by Hotboii addresses the culture of warranted fear of the police from African Americans with the lyrics. "Growing' up Black, scared of these cops, that's how it be.” In conclusion, these songs lyrically exemplify the rise of cruelty, impact, and effect of police.
