lirik lagu rebel diaz – troy davis lives forever

[intro: rodstarz]
another lynching has gone down in the u.s
and it’s 2011, nothing has changed

[verse 1: rodstarz]
i feel the pain, i feel the anger and the rage to show it
i hit the streets and spread the word till the world knows it
i’m sorry we ain’t save you, shoulda been graver
but sometimes i feel alone surrounded by these strangers
2009 we first spoke after i met martina
i got the shirt, but since then i haven’t really seen her
been on the road with these raps, just tryna spread a message
but when i think about our talks, they were such a blessin’
you was in jail, readin’ your poems on the phone
and all i did was just listen, backstage of the show
then i heard the crazy news about a week ago
that the date had been set and they wanted you to go
11:08 p.m., september 21st, never forget, my inner being still hurts
obama stayed quiet like he did with [?] grant
clarence thomas b-tch -ss never gave you a chance
see, you was innocent, there was too much doubt
seven of nine witnesses wanted they testimonies out
they were scared from these threats, serious like cancer
but you know it wasn’t true, years later they recanted
i wish i had the answer, what to do next
gotta do more than tweet, facebook, and send texts
we need freedom, uhuru organize like zulu
feel the pain of injustice even though i never knew you

[chorus: rodstarz]
what up, troy? i can’t believe they did it, man
to tell the truth, they ain’t never gonna k!ll you, man
you live forever in the hearts of those that fought for ya
you fought for us, you gave us strength like a true soldier
what up, troy? i can’t believe they did it, man
to tell the truth, they ain’t never gonna k!ll you, man
you live forever in the hearts of those that fought for ya
you fought for us, you gave us strength like a true soldier

[verse 2: g1]
they still lynchin’ from plantations to the prisons
methods changed, but it’s the same system
white robes used to burn the crucifix
now black robes sign death sentences
instead of jim crow and legal segregation
it’s yuppie condos and cuts to education
and i ain’t gotta say it, troy, you said it in your last letter
thankin’ your supporters worldwide for they past efforts
more than a million signed them pet-tions
the pope, the archbishop, stars and politicians
who’s who on twitter, weighin’ in like mayweather
but what happens to my bro after the storm let up?
new day, pray you in a better place
over here we tryna cope and channel that rage
to abolish these legal lynchings
abolish their broken system
abolish the need for prisons, in defense of the human spirit

[outro]
troy davis, rest in power
