You can't try the heart
  in the courts of men
  if lust for life is quiet
  then guilty i am
  send me off to the gallows old
  she is faithful
  the day is cold
  like those before
  we'll walk the plank
  and get shot up
  like those before
  feet on the door: open it up
    try & say something true
  history smiles upon the few
  free thinkin' liberality
  has not place in society
    i've been sentenced under laws of the king
  a man i've never met
  and he knows not me
  if treason charge
  then treason be
  is treason is the will to be free
  watch what you say
  white leaders pray we do not stray
  like mlk
  like kennedy
  they watch chompskey
    is it any wonder why
  we're obessed with suicide?
  stuck in the garden of mass appeal
  ever fasting for something real
    MLK: "I Have A Dream"
  Ghandi: "To fight against their anger"
    watch what you say
  white leaders pray
  we do not stray
  and if you do
  the bullets cue
  is taken from true
    frown upon the gifted one
  intelect is no match for guns
  from the poison well we drink
  blood's on the pages of history's ink
