"A Song for Trayvon" by Jasiri X - LIVE FROM BROOKLYN, NY

"A Song for Trayvon" Lyrics by Jasiri X (based on "No Church in the Wild" by Jay-Z & Kanye West) It's Sunday the God's day, a day of rest The NBA all stars are playing next. But right outside that same city the celebratory atmosphere would change quickly Who watching the game with me you know lil Trayvon was reppin his home town D Wade and LeBron He had just came up from Miami to see his daddy Who knew such a great weekend would end so badly In a place where you move because it's safe for your family But some people got a ingrown hate for your family Halftime just a short brake from the slammin Bout to go to the store lil cuz you want some candy? Bet I grab you some skittles kid. I'll be right back in a little bit How bout I grab you some skittles kid. I'll be right back in a little bit. (Chorus) Paid for lil cuz's skittles and a iced tea walked out the store and felt the chill of the night breeze It seemed a little colder than before he didn't know it was a boy like a soldier in a war that was watching him clocking him thinking about stopping him nine milly cocking them who's this nigga walking in my neighborhood? He fits all the specifics of criminal statistics-- he looks suspicious "911, what's your emergency?" A black man's walking through my hood purposely stay clam, it's just little Trayvon but he wanna be the hero so he put's his cape on George Zimmerman neighborhood block captain loaded glock strapped in fake cop has been got out the car ignoring what the cops asked him "They always get away this time that will not happen!" George Zimmerman didn't take his Ritalin drunk off adrenaline says he making a citizens arrest Trayvon looks at him vexxed "I just walked to the store nothing more nothing less" Just steps from his home he ignored his request George grabs him, Trayvon swings and connects Starts screaming out for help but Zimmerman see a threat so he pulls out his gun and he points it at his chest He fires but he misses Trayvon pleads for forgiveness "I didn't do nothing" this is senseless but George Zimmerman was so vicious he made sure the second shot hit em no survivor no witness Trayvon never gave his cousin his skittles, missed the all star game didn't see another dribble And George Zimmerman wasn't even arrested. The message is only white lives are protected In America. ------------------------------------------- "A Song for Trayvon" Event produced by Kevin Powell, Akila Worksongs, MoveOn.org & ColorofChange.org Hosted by The House of the Lord Church in Brooklyn, NY.
