This song is a reference to the shooting of Amadou Diallo, who was an African immigrant who was shot and killed by four undercover NYPD officers in 1999; they fired 41 shots. The "Biko" reference is Steven Biko, an anti-apartheid activist in South Africa in the 1960s who was supposedly killed by the police in 1977.
