If you can't tell by now
When you walk down the street
All of the people you see
They all look like me

Cops running parallel heat
On the black streets
In ghettos
Where the city never sleeps

I have a dream
One man said to a sea
Of white kids from a college town
And the NAACP
In the Sixties

It's a drug bust
Blood lust
Honor and pride is a gang must
Initiation is how you trust

Retaliation is how you love
As a sharp noise resonates
Past your windshield
You duck

And the young woman in the back seat
Taught not to question the authority
Of the man that gave her this penalty
It's a worldwide threat
A power that must be kept in check

And innocence is lost
A new life is the cost
Violated
As they probe your inner thoughts

In God we trust
But is that enough
She said in testimony
As the judge bent over in disgust

There goes a criminal's pride
And in the house there's not a dry eye
She gave us the strength to believe
And if given the chance
The last hope for peace
