Air Freshener

Kimberly Potter, the former police officer who killed
Daunte with a gunshot wound to the chest, was convicted
December 23 on two counts of first and second degree murder.
May the young black man's soul rest in power.

Too black, too young

Too legit to git eulogies

Scripted in his honor

Daunte bustled with energies

He was voted class clown

Now that he's shot down

Guess who's laughing now?

Cops pulled him over

And Daunte phoned his Mama

And said they said his fault

Was hanging air freshener

From his rearview mirror

That's what he told his Mama

That was his fatal error

Cops claimed it was

Rather for traffic violations

Related to expired regulation

Tags when they did a double take

And found a warrant for his arrest

It kinda shot the stakes

To a gunshot wound in the chest

When former police officer

Killer Kim Potter

Caught a whiff of air freshener

And Daunte caught a bullet

Claimed she mistook gun for taser

But that old ash of skillet

Don't deserve a rehash

She bore on him screaming ‘Taser!,’

But protesters screamed murder!

Daunte Wright's a hashtag

Daunte Jr. is an orphan

Former police officer

Kimberly Potter

Rolled with her crew

Patrolling the hood

For blacks that smelled good

But this wasn't just some kid

With an air freshener

He was the prince

Of the Brooklyn Center

Killer Kim's down

On a count

Of first degree and

Second degree manslaughter

Daunte's maggots riddled cadaver

May now rest in peace proper

But at what cost

And how long must

This level of hate go on

Before someone says enough?

Meanwhile, it's official

It is now illegal

To kill blacks fo

Smelling good,

Looking good,

Or feeling good

Up in the hood.
