We saw Eric Garner get killed by the police
We saw Trayvon Martin on the news as a kid gunned down for wearing his skin
We saw Aiyana Stanley-Jones get shot during a raid
Let’s stick with the facts we don't want any one getting confused
In this world of different colors, why is it me I'm getting accused?
Not just that, at the hands of an officer I'm facing death
When God says, “It’s time” it’s time.But the world was not ready for Trayvon’s cries and bloody eyes, as bullets struck his 17-year-old spine.Blood gurgling from his lungs as he yells for help But no one was to be found.Soon the nation roared with
“When I get older I will be stronger, they’ll call me freedom just like waving flag.”
Langston Hughes had the blues when he said
Are we one?
It's hopeless I know this devoid of devotion.
So tired of the maddness and sick of emotions dividing the classes and poisoning the masses.
So I'm strictly devoted.
