Florida

Now I've got a story that I want to share with you
 Of a young man name Tray he was on his way
 Till that fatal day, well, well, well, well
 It was 7:12 p.m.,Trayvon's girl call to speak to him
 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
 He was standing outside his daddy's home
 He was all alone, on the cellphone
 About 7:16 the call goes dead
 Trayvon's on the struggle now
 He was lyin' on the ground
 Fighting to save his life, and as the gun went off
 He got hit in the chest
 And the neighbor who shot him confessed
 And the saddest part about this, he was only 17
 He didn't even live his dream
 Oh no, Florida something's very wrong (aw yeah)
 Need to know, what's going on?
 (What's going on?) can we make this house a home?
 Oh, Florida can I talk to you? (To you?)
 Can we walk and have an interview?
 (Every time I turn around)
 (Something is always going down) Florida this land is overdue
 Did I, did I say that he was unarmed?
 How could a baby cause any harm?
 With no weapon in sight, you know that ain't right
 All he had was his candy in hand (his skittles, candy)
 What about the family (his brother)
 His father, sister and Manny?
 It's so hard to let go, what you can't control
 May his soul rest in peace
 But I hope and pray (I hope, I hope and pray)
 On judgement day
 To have it all your way
 And I know, I know, I know it won't bring back your baby
 Sybrina, keep your head up lady
 Brother Tracy be strong
 For Trayvon
 And the worst part about is
 He was only 17, didn't live his dream
 Oh no, Florida something's very wrong
 Need to know, what's going on?
 (Please tell me) can we make this house a home?
 Oh, Florida can I talk to you?
 Can we walk and have an interview? (Can we walk tall over this thing?)
 Florida this land is overdue
 So Florida, don't make me cry
 Or I gotta leave your way, bye, bye
 White sandy beaches and wind
 But the sun don't' burn my skin
 Had a talk with your first cousin Georgia
 Heard what happened from the news reporter
 You're surrounded by clouds, thunder and lightening sounds
 And now the sun is falling down
 Tell me why you don't love your black babies the same?
 Why you be calling them out of the name?
 Where the son of a judge can hold a grudge
 And take a life away
 And be free the next day
 Feels like a hurricane
 The weather so strange
 Oh no, Florida something's very wrong
 Need to know, what's going on?
 Can we make this house a home? (Yeah, yeah)
 Oh, Florida can I talk to you? (Florida)
 Can we walk and have an interview?
 Florida this land is overdue
 Oh my, my, my, my, my...
