Came across this video by Jasiri X on MoveOn.org's YouTube chanenl: "A Song for Trayvon". If the title didn't give it away, the song is a reaction to the Trayvon murders. Song is based on "No Church in the Wild" by Jay-Z and Kanye and has some pretty controversial lyrics (which I pasted below). You can check out the video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jOahRYtw3lo
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.
