Transcript
00:00Early morning in Minneapolis town
00:13A mother named Renee was driving around
00:16Dropped a boy up at the schoolyard gate
00:18Didn't know that morning would seal her fate
00:21She had poems in her notebook, a dream in her hand
00:24A quiet life no one would understand
00:26She turned upon her
00:28The lights flashed red and a voice of fear rang inside her head
00:33Here's the story of Renee Good
00:37Shot down, though she did what any mother would
00:40Up in their tails, they'll twist their lies
00:43But fear can't kill when mercy dies
00:47Unmarked cars and the misty grey ice agents waiting to block her way
01:01No warning, no siren loud, just flashing lights in a faceless crowd
01:07She froze for a second, the wheels slipped right
01:10The road was wet in the winter light
01:12She hit the gas in a trembling wave
01:15Didn't know she was digging a grave
01:17That's the story of Renee Good
01:21Shot down, though she beat what any mother would
01:23They called it terror, they called it crime
01:26Justice broke at the scene this time
01:29Now the papers say it was self-defense
01:33But the neighbors say it don't make sense
01:36No gun, no fight, no reason to shoot
01:39Just fear and power in a black steel suit
01:41A boy, a mother, a gentle soul
01:44Caught in the wheel of control
01:46There's somewhere out there, a child still small
01:50Asking why she ain't home at all
01:53Long road terror, the mayor said no
02:01But truth's the seed that the storm won't sow
02:07The street got quiet, the rain came down
02:11Three days later, they cleaned the ground
02:13The camera's moving, the suits went home
02:17Now the ghost on me, ass fought along
02:22There's the story of Renee Good
02:25Shot down, though she beat what any mother would
02:28They talk a whore, they'll talk a piece
02:30But this kind of piece will never cease
02:33The child still draws with the prey on red
02:36A house, a car, and a mother dead
02:38And every time that he closes his eyes
02:41He sees blue lights in the morning skies
02:46Tell us the story of Renee Good
02:49No song can tell it the way it stood
02:52They'll ride the fires, they'll pose the book
02:54But her name still burns, where no one looks
03:18Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
03:23Yo!
03:48Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
