They say I'm young and black

Which means I'm going to be a threat

When we walk in the store they get straped

And the cops always on your back

Some do them like O-dog

Some do them like Treyvon

We live in a shoot first 

Or get shot world

Black man living in a white world

Still got the nerve to say that this is God's world

"Did you just say that this is gods world"

Do you think He'd approve of people raping girls

Or Zimmerman being let back in the world?
