Verse1
There are things
That my skin color does for me
Like when people dont feel threatened
when theyre all alone with me
I can walk down city streets
smoking weed as i please
as cops smile and wave at me
cause im one of them
and people
dont cross the street cause of me
PreChorus:
every time im judged on a scale
my skin is what makes me prevail
Chorus
its color is white
and thats all the fight
for the justice
that ill need
Verse2
I can make a dollar
as a woman makes
twenty cents less
i can even walk the streets at night
without the fear of rape
i can fuck with no condom on
knock her up and soon flee
its what society
tells me i can be
doesnt matter
i can be a shitty guy

Which crimes?
Could you please explain,
I just can't see the difference.
Hatred or Resistance?
Persons or a Business?
It doesn't really matter, no see,
The Problem's what we do with guilty-
Throw them away, they're worthless.
"Let's all make sure they burn for this.
No one get's to cross me,
Unscathed, unscratched, or guilt free.
I'm out for blood you wronged me.
See you in court, my enemy."
We don't know
So we try
We don't like
So we act
Then we fail
We get caught
So we stop
We were wrong
So we fall
Then we learn
We admit
So we live
We atone
So forgive
Then we grow
We live on
So time goes
We look back
So we see
Then We know
(Redacted)
You don't care about me
I don't care about you
We don't care about we
Don't tell me you're sorry
I Can't stand to see you,
Do the things I can't do
I'll make sure you don't slide
No one gets a free ride.
You say you want justice
But you just lack forgiveness
You can't let go
If we don't learn from anger
If we don't learn from pain
We don't grow

We need to fight for justice for all and not just us, we can't trust shit and it is straight fucked up, the justice system is about the least trustworthy, ain't no need for me to get wordy I can spell it out in a hurry, if you're innocent of not don't red and blue lights make you worry? Have you dealt with your peers? Do you trust them as a jury?, innocent until proven guilty unless you're just filthy peasant, than you're already good as sentenced, to indentured servitude, call it a good attitude, then spit you back into a society that doesn't really want you, We'll say "it's okay, just don't be lazy put your back into it.", but provide no paths from jail just some back into it, ain't a damn thing I have that they can't take from me, unless I stoke this garbage fire by throwing in my money, got to make it rain if you want to see days that are sunny, we all joke about O.J. but really that shit ain't that funny, walkin' free when we all know he did it, while some wait for justice their whole lives and never even get it, bad men walk free, wrongful convictions, some stories haunt me, but I still choose to listen, so I can spread these feelings then others can do the same, then maybe we'll get some change and true just someday... So, evil better hide we gon' ride for some justice, ironclad resolve and ain't no way you can rust this, gold ring on the pinky finger no you can't touch it, it shines on as a beacon of justice, when I treat the face of evil like a get-away car and punch it, knuckle sandwich for you punks that a just luncheon, I suggest runnin' 'less villains wanna get bloodless, I've a lustrous compass guidin' my warpath for justice... Ridin' and holdin' a cutlass out the window yellin' "fuck this!".
