How could you


How could you be so cold, to just up and take a child's life.. How could you sleep each and every night knowing this child has lost his life... How could you chase the kid down and when y'all be begin to fight, you say that you're in fear for your life... How could you just shoot an unarmed child for looking suspicious and walking down the street at night... How could you sit there, calm and Collective after telling so many lies... How could y'all say justice been served when a mother would never call her son again! tell me cuz I can't see how our laws protect us, when they don't even serve out for our children! How could we stand up and serve as one, when we can't let our children wear hoodies and walk to the store... How could you sleep at night knowing you've rob This child of his life... How could you!
