"Justice"
Justice I’m sorry
Justice baby I swear it’ll be right next time
Justice I apologize for what they’ve done to you
how they’ve used you for personal gain to make themselves feel better
justice they’ve abused you
sweetheart you are better than that
Justice your color does not define you, you are all colors of the wind they cannot pretend that you are not
they cannot pretend that you stand on one side no matter what they’ve paid baby girl you are your own
you stand alone the test of time no matter how they seem to have beaten you down
Justice open your eyes the drugs aren’t that strong I promise
Justice it’s not worth giving yourself away like this
Justice you’ve been kidnapped trapped and choked so that you can’t breathe
You’ve been posted on Facebook for your big lips brown skin and the quality of your weave
Justice they’re calling you a teenage dream as vigilante after hero comes into your room in the night leaves bills on the night stand tells you its not a one night stand but this could be endless because this could be forever
They take you by the arms and harm another believing they’re fighting for your heart and thats when the problem starts because you never asked for this
Justice you’re a brand name now honey
Justice your name is in lights
as you cause fights and bring men down like helen of troy
but only if it’s against homegirl and homeboy
Justice why are you lying
Justice why are you trying to be something your not
Justice why are you hiding this is your fault
You put yourself out there standing on the corner of black and white waiting for this
starting to light the fire that would burn down Baltimore
You got all you asked for
Justice you’re the whore
