Say Something True

You can't try the heart
 in the courts of men
 if lust for life is quiet
 then guilty i am
 send me off to the gallows old
 she is faithful
 the day is cold
 like those before
 we'll walk the plank
 and get shot up
 like those before
 feet on the door: open it up
 try & say something true
 history smiles upon the few
 free thinkin' liberality
 has not place in society
 i've been sentenced under laws of the king
 a man i've never met
 and he knows not me
 if treason charge
 then treason be
 is treason is the will to be free
 watch what you say
 white leaders pray we do not stray
 like mlk
 like kennedy
 they watch chompskey
 is it any wonder why
 we're obessed with suicide?
 stuck in the garden of mass appeal
 ever fasting for something real
 MLK: "I Have A Dream"
 Ghandi: "To fight against their anger"
 watch what you say
 white leaders pray
 we do not stray
 and if you do
 the bullets cue
 is taken from true
 frown upon the gifted one
 intelect is no match for guns
 from the poison well we drink
 blood's on the pages of history's ink
