Em
You're over here little soldier,
Bm
I'll show you the way
Em
I know the world's getting colder,
you're fading away
Bm
Em
I was only 14,
Bm
a boy who had a dream
and wanted bubblegum
Em
But this white woman thought I
Bm
was troublesome
Em
Told the other ones
it got me kidnapped
Bm
Em
Kick slap, punch bats, hips back was lit
Bm
It hurts when I reminisce
Em
Bm
Came and took me out of the house
into a pick -up truck
Em
Then they took me out
Bm
of the truck
and started hittin' stuff
Em
Bm
Strip me naked to send a message
Em
Barbed wire around my neck
with a fan connected
Bm
Em
I was shot in the head
Bm
and kicked in the river
Em
My face was decomposed,
Bm
my pictures will make it quiver
Em
But up here, man,
I swear he delivered
Bm
because I'm good as new
Em
Bm
No gun wounds, my face is intact
and I ain't gotta prove
Em
By the way, my name's Emmett
Bm
Em
Till and 55 was so ill
Bm
So many years later, the hatin' is still
Em
Bm
I see injustice and shit is for real
Em
To see them get away with murder
Bm
and discard how you feel
Em
I pray we go a little further
Bm
just to even the deal
G
Let us reverse the times
F#m
and put you out on those field s
Em
Say you three -fifths of a man
Bm
and you're resistance to feel
Em
Or tell you that you better
Bm
roll better in jail
Em
Over fifty years ago,
Bm
it still ain't nothing changed
Em
But I'm still praying for justice
will live my name
Em
What happened to the land of the free,
Bm
home of the brave?
Em
It's more like the land of the thieves
Bm
an d home of the slaves
Em
Bm
It's evil, it's not a black or white thing
Cause we're all people,
Em
Bm
made by the same creator,
so we're all equal
Em
Bm
You the blame for the kids getting shot,
Em
you the blame for your thoughts
Bm
Em
You the blame for the Glock on the block,
you the blame, you the politician
Bm
Am
You the blame for the laws,
C
D
you the problem and the cause
Em
I'm Michael Brown,
what up Emmett?
Bm
Remember big sayings,
God's the limit
Bm
I never guessed this early I'd be in it
Em
I heard about you,
Bm
but why they label us diminished?
Em
You were hard to identify,
Bm
even by the dentist
Em
Ari Emmett, your story hits
Bm
where it hurts
Em
Just knowin' growin'
up as a black kid's
Bm
a gift and a curse
Bm
it's like you either rich or you dirt
Em
And we were treated worse than dogs
Bm
in your pics on a shirt
Em
Bm
Damn, I just needed some blunts,
I didn't have money
Em
Bm
I asked the owner for credit,
he always acts funny
Em
Bm
So yeah, I took some cigarellas
G
while they blast for me
And leave me in the street
F#m
layin' like a crash dummy
Bm
I used to dream I wasn't that hungry
Em
Bm
And if we had the same evils
in a black country
Em
He made me bleed,
Bm
had me down on my knees
Em
My hands up screaming please,
Bm
officer don't squeeze
Em
But indeed, Darren Wilson
Bm
pulled that trigger with ease
Em
And left my family to grieve,
Bm
I wasn't ready to leave
Em
He was the coward, bro,
Bm
I laid dead in the streets for hours, bro
Em
Bm
Blood spilling out of my head,
the scene was powerful
Em
From the start,
Bm
this racist shit hasn't stopped
Em
They got their clips to the top,
Bm
these cops are ready to pop
Em
So I just hope we die for our people
Bm
If something changes
Em
in this world full of evil
Bm
We will all create an evil
Em
What happened to the land of the free,
Bm
home of the brave?
Em
It's more like the land
of the thieves
Bm
and home of the slaves
Em
Bm
It's evil, it's not a black or white thing
Cause we're all people,
Em
Bm
made by the same creator
So we're all equal
Em
You're to blame for the kids
getting shot
Bm
Em
You're to blame for your thoughts
Bm
You're to blame for the Glock
on the block
Em
You're to blame,
Bm
you're the politician
Em
You're to blame for your laws
Bm
You're the problem and the
cause
When will the people listen?
