Digital White - Trayvon Love lyrics

Verse 1 Society isn’t equal Please don't let it kid you You'll go to court But the laws Won't apply to you. Believe in equality You must be joking Cause a broken taillight Means your not walking. Stop resisting is the line they preach to you. Regurgitating, Isomorphism Behaving like heards that move Swatz said don’t obey unjust rules. Remember everything Hitler did was Always lawful. Most blacks on TV are just a token The reality is that many are choking. Others that have the power need Collaboration to move the nation. Western society forgets the victim The developing world was the founding Heart of everything nation. Colonies with no reparation And then you expect those people To have respect for your nation Low down dirty America no one Can change its social structures Infiltrated with privatisation and corruption Institutionalised keeping things the same. Gather the knowledge of your history To bring about change. Chorus His name was Trayvon And yes he got shot Walking through a Neighbourhood Skittles in his poc Zimmerman Is told to stand off Retreat by the cops No direct threat But still he plays cops Verse 2 Tray is just ordinary kid in the street But the lunatic named Zimmerman He is about to meet Yes you were the one Wannabe be cop Glock in your hand Willis die hard mission But you failed to realise That it was all perception No immediate threat You leave us perplexed You just shot a boy That you claimed a suspect But the truth of the matter is Your mind is the crime You were hasty Ran the risk Now do the time As you were the one Who gunned the boy down For no apparent reason And your claim is unfound He is the victim and your are The criminal you instigated Confrontation; his fear is unimaginable. Chorus His name was Trayvon And yes he got shot Walking through a Neighbourhood Skittles in his poc Zimmerman Is told to stand off Retreat by the cops No direct threat But still he plays cops Verse 3 Your the story of the ignorant American society Criminalisation, pervasive fear Keep the blacks over there If they come this way Make sure you shoot Before they get you. We kept them locked up for years And now we're living in fear Protect our wealth And capital too Even if we shoot the innocent It's all worth it . Our safety is paramount So anything is worth it. Adversarial system But the skin is being judged Prosecution will fail To do the right job You can always guarantee the Defendant walks free The land of free How the irony bleeds
