With Injustice

On the night in question, as I run to survive
 Gettin' lost in the darkness for a place to hide
 My heart beating out my chest, feet heavy as rocks
 But only for a moment, I can't afford to stop
 Because they're looking for me, there's a bounty on my head
 Am I worth more alive, or better off dead
 Am I worth more as a person or just property
 Either way, I refuse to be a commodity
 A shot rings out, followed by the dogs
 As I run out of breath, begging mercy from God
 Pleading for deliverance I'm hoping just that
 I'm still alive if they take me back
 Then my knees buckle, stumble from the uneven ground
 I'm tryin' to get up, but I'm already pinned down
 Why'd you make us chase you? as they gather around
 But can't even answer cuz they kick me around
 Beat my face 'til it bled as they stomped me on my head
 And before I blacked out, I heard one of them said
 I hoped you learned your lesson, boy! You need to know your place
 Now stand up Nigger before I shoot you in the face
 But to no avail, I ignored their commands
 Not out of defiance, but because I couldn't stand
 And with all the blood loss and my body went cold
 With Injustice, just another lost soul
