Yo, over here lil soldier, I'll show you the way
I know the worlds getting colder, we fading away
I was only 14, a boy with a dream and wanted bubble gum
But this white woman thought I was trouble some
Told the other ones and got me kidnapped, kicked, slapped
Punched bats, hips, back was lit
It hurts when I reminisce
Came and took me out the house into a pick up truck
Then they took me out of the truck started hitting stuff
Stripped me naked to send a massage
Barb wire round my neck with a fan connected
I was shot in head kicked in the river
My face was decomposed, my pictures will make you quiver
But up here man I swear he delivered, because I'm good as new
No guns wounds my face is in tac, and I ain't got a bruise
By the way my names Emmett Till, in 55 it was ill
So many years later they're hating us still
I see injustice and this shit is for real
To see them get away with murder
And discard how you feel
I pray we go a little further just to even the deal
Let's us reverse the times and put you out on those fields
Say you're 3 5 of a man, and your existing to fail
Tell you your better off, dead or in jail
Over 50 years ago, and still nothing changed
But I'm still praying for justice forever will live my name
What happened to the land of the free home of the brave
It's more like the land of the thieves, and home of the slaves
it's evil, it's not a black or white thing cause we're all people
Made by the same creator so we're all equal
You're the blame for the kids getting shot
You're the blame for your thoughts
You're the blame for the glocks on block
You're to blame, you the politician
You're to blame for the laws
You're a problem and cause
I'm Michael Brown
What up Emmit, remember Big said sky's the limit
And if not I never guessed this early I'd be in it
I heard about u, but y they label us the menace
U were hard to identify even by the dentist sorry emmit, ur story hit where it hurts
Just knowing growing up as a black kid's a gift and a curse
In America, it's like u either rich or u dirt
And we were treated worse than dogs Then ur pics on a shirt, dam
I just needed some blunts I didn't have money
I asked the owner 4 credit he always acts funny
So yeah I took some cigarellos why he blast 4 me, And leave me in the street laying like a Crash dummy
Growing up I used to dream I wasn't that hungry
And if we'd have the same evils in a Black Country
He made me bleed, had me down on my knees my hands up screaming please officer don't Sqeeze
But indeed Darren Wilson pulled that trigger with ease
And left my family to grieve, I wasn't ready to leave
He was a coward bro, i laid dead in the streets 4 hours bro
Blood spilling out of my head the scene was powerful
from the start the racist shit hasnt stopped
They got there clips to the top
These cops are ready to pop
So I jus hope we died for our people, and something changes in this world of evil
we were all created equal
What happened to the land of the free home of the brave
It's more like the land of the thieves, and home of the slaves
it's evil, it's not a black or white thing cause we're all people
Made by the same creator so we're all equal
You're the blame for the kids getting shot
You're the blame for your thoughts
You're the blame for the glocks on block
You're to blame, you the politician
You're to blame for the laws
You're a problem and cause, when will the people listen
