I Am Trayvon Martin
This one is for my brothers
With the mocha skin and full lips
This one is for my sisters
With the kinky hair and big hips
This one is for everyone who represents Trayvon Martin
Always facing racial profiling
Can't even go in a store without someone else following
All of a sudden wearing a hoodie with a bag of goodies makes you a suspect
Oh I'm sorry! You're just tired of us "getting away" so you decide to inspect
You may think you are free
But justice will be served trust and believe me
You'll never be a free man in my eyes
You went and shot an innocent boy when the dispatcher told you to stay in the car
You're the monster that I dispise
Had the AUDACITY to crack a smile
Reality is gonna kick in soon
Just wait a while
So Trayvon I wear my hoodie for you
To show my respect for you
And your family too
Zimmerman wasn't man enough to use his fists
Instead he chose to shoot a bullet
Taking a risk
Not guilty...
NOT GUILTY?!
So I suppose the same people that killed Emmett Till weren't either
I lift my fist in the air in memory of you both
And I lift my voice to make this oath
I will never forget you or leave your name in the dust
Because I too am you
Your legacy will stay
That's a must
I am Trayvon Martin
My skin is just the same
I am Trayvon Martin
Don't judge me by how I look when you don't even know my name
I am Trayvon Martin
Does that mean I get followed next?
We are Trayvon Martin
Now we have to stand up and end this mess
