MORE FIRE!!!
1998 and Boston is boiling on the verge of overflowing
Someone lit a red flame under the Bean Pot and it is cooking
Now look how it’s bobbling ready to pop its cork
A wife and child got popped and no one knows who did the ghastly deed
Fingers start to point, I know I know
Look where it happened who else could have done the deed
Hurry up somebody tell, tell quick before the pot burns
Be careful sir be certain for sure
A town is waiting, what will they require
More fire, more fire the finger has landed
Color me black where else you need look
The finger has pointed and the code is BLACK
Are you sure sir? More fire. Think careful, more fire.
A town is under siege. A race under attack
Men and boys watch yourselves
Don’t be caught in any strange places after dusk
Code black we have to find the one or the all will pay.
drop-spread-open – close-move – don’t move
Men and brethren be alert
You are about to get hurt
Wait, did I hear right
They found a Black pigeon to take the flight
Grab- hold we got what we need
We found the one who did the ghastly deed
Cool down fire, cool. Let out the steam
No need to pop
We have got our man
Rush to judgment
We must make it quick
The town has been tricked
But the pot must be cooled
I know something, I know something
I will tell you if you promise to make it right for me
A wife and child killed by a husband and a father
Money the money the reason for the killing
He did the deed
Now the pots a bubbling
White folks a wondering
Black folks are a grumbling
And the husband goes tumbling over the Tobin Bridge.
Why you so quick to point the finger when the code is Black
So in a hurry to jump the gun
So a White pointed a finger at a Black
Without proof you ravish a whole city
Did you even bother to check the facts?
I thought someone said that the spouse was always the first suspect?
Or is that true only when the crime is not code Black Boston Burning, cool down, cool down
