Struggling with Troy A.D.? Become a better singer in 30 days with these videos!
You have lynched another one of God's sons After a trial flawed with unanswered questions You continue this path Push things further But out in the street they call it murder The only certainty was doubt, ongoing doubt A price to pay and someone to take the fall For closure, the damage done No matter innocence and all the clemency calls They know what they are here for Wearing their ties like gallows We know what they are here for Judge, jury, executioner Stuck in your mediatized tunnel vision Witnesses telling what the police pressured them to say Hearing after hearing, but no one is listening An uphill battle against a decision that has already been made "Guilty as charged" And from this death blossom a strange fruit grows At the place where history runs deep and cruel But throughout this land a different wind blows Voices of outrage after what has been exposed Oh, Georgia They don't know what they do They don't know we could all end like you They don't know what they do That if you lose, we all lose We all lose, we all lose We all lose, we all lose Absence of a fair trial puts us all on trial Our values, our humanity All on trial We are all on trial We are all on trial A present still dictated by race and by class By descent and welfare We are all, we are all on trial We are all on trial And incarceration should be trialed This system only serving a few You are Troy and I am Troy The clock is ticking, gates clanging There is an unspoken wrongness dangling over his head The biased sound of shackled footsteps Sending us back in history If there is any doubt the time to speak has The time to speak has come Dead silence "Let justice be done though the heavens fall" Watch what you wish for If those trees could talk they would be singing of sorrow Of black bodies swinging in the southern breeze 22 Years 11:08 Those southern trees Bear a bitter crop For the sun to rot And for the crows For the crows to pluck
