- Got her first born son stole from her, he never had a chance
- And we all know its cause he black
- Shot 'em 16 times, how fucked up is that?
- Now the police superintendent wanna double back
- Cops speeding up to the block like a runnin' back

- [Outro: Jeffrey Neslund]
- The video shows Laquan walking
- Southbound down the middle of Pulaksi
- There are squad cars visible in front of him and also squad cars behind him
- The shooter's squad car is visible as it drives past Laquan
- Two officers then exit that vehicle with their guns drawn
- At that point, Laquan begins to look away from the officers
- At a southwest angle toward the sidewalk
- When Laquan is about 12 to 15 feet away from the officers
- The width of an entire lane of the southbound traffic
- One officer begins shooting
- Laquan immediately spins to the ground
- And the video clearly shows that the officer continues to shoot
- Laquan, multiple times
- As he lays in the street
- 16 seconds pass from the time Laquan hits the ground
- Until the last visible puff of smoke rises from his torso area
- An officer then approaches Laquan
- Stands over him and appears to shout something
- As he kicks the knife out of his hand
