You thought if you ignored me that I might just go away
But it seems I reappeared on Miscarriage of Justice Day
When you thought if you ignored me that I might just go away
But it seems I reappeared on Miscarriage of Justice Day
Electricity in the sky and I cry and wonder why
'Cause I just didn't want to die
Imagine if you can, 200 blows from an oak stick
Swung by the fiery demon of hatred and his clique
Blood rushes to the surface of the skin to form bruises
Muscles swell and from my cracked skull my life oozes
I drink milk but still my bones are no match
And they fracture and crack up, uh, they just call for back-up
My naturally thick African lips are split in twice the size
As mad fist blows close my eyes
I'm lost in the scene of sirens and lights and blurry vision
Surrounded by fear and indecision
One blow validates the next and the next becomes harder than the last
I hear echoes from the past, "We shall overcome"
And as a steel-toed boot kicks my jaw, my teeth cut through my tongue
One more breath
A crack rip punctures my lung and I'm near death
My limp lifeless body represents a struggle that hasn't ended
Electrify the sky, get offended
You thought if you ignored me that I might just go away
But it seems I reappeared on Miscarriage of Justice Day
When you thought if you ignored me that I might just go away
But it seems I reappeared on Miscarriage of Justice Day
I am ten million voices raised in a collective scream of disbelief
Outraged that your token gesture of justice
Would be tolerated, supported, believed, and called due process
Was it really a surprise to find my silence was not to be your answer
When it was written in electric sky?
