Kalom Montgomery – Don’t Forget Dre Lyrics

Artist: Kalom Montgomery
Song: Don’t Forget Dre

An officer received a call about a neighborhood disturbance
A noisy car parked in a garage was overheard and
The caller seemed to think this was something to be concerned with
But I never would of thought your execution be the verdict

Adam approached the house to investigate and determine
The reason for all the sounds
December 22nd he parked on Oberlin drive with no witnesses around
Except for officer Amy the thought of it makes me angry

It was made clear, this was a non emergency call
So Adam please help me to see the reason your gun was drawn?
I don’t get it I’m sick we been suffering for too long
They stand guilty as charged and get acquitted what’s the difference?

If we resist or comply they shoot us I ain’t surprised
Not all but most accustomed to taking innocent lives
He lied and said he observed a gun before he shot you down
Then how come at the murder scene wasn’t no weapon found?

Unless you count the one that Adam used to take you out
They suppose to protect us he was overly aggressive
I’m still holding back my tears when I contemplate it
No audio so ain’t no record of the conversation

Before Adam shot you in cold blood
Good grieve it’s all bad in these streets it’s no love
The final outcome wasn’t the one that we desired
You came forward with your phone he opened fire

A hot tempered response to a non emergency call
Assuming with pistol drawn hate to see this going on
All of these unjustified unlawful police killings
He left your daughter Karissa to mourn with 3 children

These conclusions make it hard to cope we need healing
Deep trauma, innocent blood that keeps spilling
They don’t see the issue, black mothers grabbing tissue
Other races see protection while my people see the villains

The consequence for leaving us subjected to this system
Full of racial injustice, have mercy lord forgive em
They stripped your dignity, no sympathy and no assistance
While you were fighting for your life for over 5 minutes

So apathetic and I’ll never understand
It’s a price that gotta be paid, for the blood all over your hands
To him you were a stranger, to us you meant more
How I hate that this was the fate of one of my mentors

We here, praying and pleading for justice on your behalf
Yeah, Adam took your life, we wish that God could give you back
I still wish he would of paused, before he pulled the trigger back
If you were guilty of a crime your only crime was being black

I know that vengeance is the lord’s, all praises to the risen king
They ain’t tryna keep us safe, we seen as enemies
The truth hurts so nah I don’t care if you feeling me
Them badges that you wear should come with some accountability

I got the news and it was hard to hold the tears back
I hate the fact your whole family had to feel that
No way to justify your murder it was wrong
Though we hate to see you gone Dre your legacy live on

We feeling pain that only God can heal
Rest In peace to brother Andre Hill don’t forget about Dre
We feeling pain that only God can heal
Rest In peace to brother Andre Hill don’t forget about Dre

I know every thing happens for a reason but I’m a be honest
I had a hard time with this one
When I got the news it didn’t hit me until the next day
But I couldn’t stop crying bro

It’s my responsibility to make sure your legacy lives on
I owe you that bro
I believe in my heart
I wouldn’t be doing this music thing if it hadn’t been for you

You gave me the game early
I learned so much from you in all of our conversations
So it’s only right that I pay homage and give honor where it’s due
Rest In Peace to my Brother Andre Maurice Hill

You ain’t deserve to go out like that bro
I’ll make sure they don’t Forget About Dre
