The Trial: What's the truth?
In Sanford,Florida 2012
Trayvon Martin was shot but who's going to jail
Word says that Zimmerman shot him and pleaded self-defense
But who really knows the truth without real evidence
Policeman left to right
They found Zimmerman with blood on his face that night
Taken to the police department he was questioned
moments later he was released with no questions
Is this about racism?
Which is the conflict being said
Everyone has their own opinion
But what's the truth from the dead
Eight counts of witnesses
Different stories but the truth
That matters will all be over when the judge enters the room
No need to be prejudice
Just do right and be fair
Since Zimmerman posed no threat to the community
And a teen was left dead
If it wasn't self-defense
Justice will be served
But if it was dismiss the case
And rest those nerves
No matter what happened
Trayvon was shot on that day
But the real story is ...
What will happen when the jury gives their say?
