Public Enemy - Beyond Trayvon lyrics

[Professor Griff] From the pages of the cress theory, I know you hear me If you out there, listen up, u might feel me Do I, look suspicious on this track, wit the black in it Black hoodie, consciousness and black facts Young kid shot, is the cry we heard Like emmitt til, it was tears and our hearts fell No arrest warrant and no weapon found One eye witness, black body down I can hear it now, it's the same ole racist sh** Thought he had a gun, is the same ole some bullsh** Confessions, of a trigger happy hit man Murderous homicidal nature, there racist plan Burying our black boys, blood thirsty hungar games The face of race is white, they got no shame Stand your ground, legalize lynch law Touch another black kid you have to touch us all [Rahmega] Its time to stand up and just fight for what you believe in I don't call it violence I just call it self defense, call it black intelligence braw to you by the people You just in it to get it, I am in it to make a change, in it to change the game, in it to rearrange, modern day lynching All that leave us is pain, knowledge is power, all I give you is with brains, you see its money power respect, all seems the same. [Khalilwho] Get fear looks But I live round here My house right next to yours But I still get stares In a World of wrongness And fights for the strongest What's the innocent to do When the fight gets brought kid No way your that scared of my hoodie People everywhere getting snared over hoodies Seen a couple pairs get aired by the hoodies But They don't care My skin's bared under hoodies [Jamal Malik aka Young Junior] This world is so chaotic all I witness is violence Watching my brothers die and their sons grow with no guidance Truth's what I'm providing to all those who've been blinded Being sold this equality bullsh** I ain't buying I'm so sick and tired of being profiled and instantly Watched close suspiciously because of my ethnicity So stereotypical its despicable And every black male in a hoodie isn't a criminal [Goonie B] This is everyday life where I'm from it goes on but I swear it can not go beyond trevon because I'm wearing a hoodie I gotta get shot or stopped by the cops its not just in flordia its out in farrock people really expect us to act civil right we got a black president and still fighting for civil rights we need to come togeather and unite because its time to fight the power so put your fists up in the sky [Chuck D] Freed the a** Mind followed With raps that k**ed tomorrow Cant support it Fought it But somebody bought it Community caught it But the government taught it And all you heard Violence hard d** s** and murder Songs never hated artists who Keep making em Strong against the wrong Whats been created But look Many neighborhoods still devestated I say it Flows overrated Shows underrated I hate it When its degrated and downgraded Spittin copywritten To music Some of yall grew up to use it People don't dance to it and just abuse it Yall say that When I say this Injustice still goes on Beyond trayvon Thank you nme sun For this word to the young You the future Save our daughters and sons
