This track is dedicated to the TRIAL and EXECUTION of TROY ANTHONY DAVIS

lyrics

I AM TROY DAVIS


Here we go again, Heaven Help us
Somebody Save us and Free Troy Davis
Texas, Louisiana, Alabama
Mississippi, Florida or Georgia in Atlanta

Naw this happened in a city called Savannah
Where people call it racist and even Demand a
Brand New Trial, As crackas smile
And they lynched us for years, check out the files

Is TROY DAVIS another victim Ya’ll ???
Set up and convicted like Mumia Abu Jamal
Yes... Even the witnesses recanted thier statements
The Jurors want to change the verdict that they created

The city hates it, still segregated
But You know Justice has to be debated
No execution...Use what god gave us
So we pray, for a stay, for TROY DAVIS

I am Troy Davis... You Are Troy Davis...We Are Troy Davis





20 years ago, when he was a boy
Leaving a pool hall was a kid named troy
Gets down the street, past the parking Lot
And a cop, in the lot, gets popped, gets shot

But the number one suspect, knows the game
Blame it on a nigger, so he drops TROY’s name...
The police Department goes along with the plot
A pastor brought him back, he was never caught

There was only ONE Troy, so he was on the News
But the pastor Never gets interviewed
The Main suspec Sylvester Cole
Lied and instantly stole TROY’s SOUL

SO THE POLICE PRESSURE WITNESSES
MAKING THEM LIE
Cause when Cops get killed, Black People Die
Even though most of the Witnesses were hesitant
They Prosecuted TROY with no physical Evidence...


I am Troy Davis... You Are Troy Davis...We Are Troy Davis







Being Black in America is oh so real
The Supreme Court denied his final appeal
Like Shaka Sankofa, yo beofre it’s over
We’ve got to show ya, That justice don’t know a

Slavery Decendant who was intended
To Build the Country and Never be commended
So you do the math, look at the blood bath
Blind is the system where judges just Laugh

This is the 4th death warrant signed and it’s true
It was condemned by the POPE and DESMOND TUTU
Jimmy Carter and All Over the world
I AM TROY DAVIS is what boys and girls

Stand, Scream, Cry and Even Curse
We want freedom and Justice, cause this ain’t the first
And won’t be the last, So I spit this verse
And say we’ve only got till September 21st

(To Save Troy Davis...so let’s free troy Davis)
I am Troy Davis... You Are Troy Davis...We Are Troy Davis

Like Amy Goodman, We all make a Vow
Freedom, Justice and DEMOCRACY NOW !!!
