No Justice
No Peace
No Justice
No Peace
One people world
two sides of life
one in hell
one paradise
that’s waiting’ for you
in the promised land…
Brothers gettin’ shot
no hesitation
a way of life for a generation
yes its all true
you don’t understand…
Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
and if I should die before I wake
I pray the Lord my soul to take…
We been strugglin’ 50 years
sacrifice through blood and tears
just trying’ to break through
to this here promised land…
You don’t know what its like
to be a Black Man
in America…
Protect and Serve don’t apply
if you ain’t white
then you’re born to die
you know they used to hang you
right where you stand…
History Hollywood
image of the Black Man
ain’t no good
that’s how they $ell you
it’s they masterplan…
I cross the street
you lock your door
clutch your purse
and then pray the Lord
won’t let me see you.
What did I do wrong?
Try to get a job
on the application
when you check “Black”
for the information
they don’t call you
Hey Hey…
You don’t know what its like
to be a Black Man
in America…
No Justice
No Peace
No Justice
No Peace
