Verse 1 She stood at the mic and said her name, Renée Good — let it ring, no shame. “This should not have happened,” plain and clear, Truth don’t whisper when justice is near. City badge, no mask, no fear, Said what real law looks like right here. No shadows, no army in disguise, No fake authority wearing lies. Pre-Chorus She said, “Hear me now, hear me well, Real law don’t hide, real law don’t sell Fear to the people it claims to serve — That’s not justice, that’s a nerve.” Chorus You don’t want this smoke, she said it out loud, For Renée, for the truth, for the people, not the crowd. No masks, no lies, no firing blind, No standing in the road, crossing every line. You don’t want this smoke — we know the code, Law with the people, not a rogue commode of power. Say her name, hold the line, You don’t want this smoke — not this time. Verse 2 She called it straight — no fancy talk, Wannabe cops playing dress-up shock. “Real officers don’t shoot at cars, Don’t block the way and call it law.” If you come here masked to break the peace, No whisk away, no quiet release. You commit a crime, you answer here, Badge don’t erase what’s crystal clear. Pre-Chorus Moral law, legal law, both were torn, By one reckless act, a bridge reborn Must now be built again by hand — With truth, with trust, with where we stand. Chorus You don’t want this smoke, she said it clean, For every mother, for every teen. No fake badge, no federal game, No new army attacking in freedom’s name. You don’t want this smoke — hear the sound, Of a city saying “Not on our ground.” Say her name, don’t look away, You don’t want this smoke — not today. Bridge They melt down on the screens at night, Call her names, distort the fight. But courage don’t flinch when cowards yell, And truth don’t care if Fox News swells. Communities and law, hand in hand, That’s how safety’s built, that’s the plan. One nutcase broke what many made, Now we fix it — unafraid. Final Chorus You don’t want this smoke, it’s not a threat, It’s accountability you don’t get to forget. For Renée Good, who should be here, For every life held cheap by fear. No masks, no lies, no hidden blame, Law with a conscience, law with a name. Say her name. Hold the line. You don’t want this smoke — ’Cause this time, we mean it. Outro Renée Good. Renée Good. Real law stands with the people. Real law defends the people.
