From the slave ship to the chain
From the task masters whip to my brain
Kidnapped, enslaved, raped and killed by the lynch clan
Again and again
Is it the origin of the skin or the face of a race
Why you don't care about me?
Now, I know you don't care about me
I`m just a nigger walking down your street
The brother did nothing wrong
but now his life is gone
So, I know you don't care about me
Code of silence you say
Yet your action speaks so loud and clear
Diallo`s killers going free paid by society
Now I know you don't care about me
Tell me where the justice much less the dances?
My world must know that man still in darkness
Lord! Raping, torture, kill and maim. Their injustice remains the same
killing the people in the Queens name
No one will gets the blame, and my people keep going down the drain
All these crimes we've come to read, they'll be written in black history
Crimes of injustice and inhumanity, perpetuated by society, and my people
are living in poverty
Yo, man, check this out!
It's kinda strange how the same things been happening
over and over again,
And they say their constitution's for the benefit of all
It's all a lie again, it's all a lie again
Tell me when will this injustice change
Tell me when will we stop feeling pain
Just the way we survive in their eyes it's a crime
You're to blame for all that's bleeding this way
Yes, we know you don't care about us
