《To a Black Boy》歌词

[00:00:01] To a Black Boy - Danger Mouse/Murs
[00:00:02] Written by:C. Dedrick/B. Teague
[00:00:45] Dear Marcus I know it's been hard times
[00:00:48] Since they made you the victim of your so called crime
[00:00:51] Kinda snatched you out the game of life in your prime
[00:00:53] They already took one we won't let them take nine
[00:00:56] Since birth it seems the deck was stacked against you to fail
[00:00:59] With your father not there mom's in and out of jail
[00:01:01] But you saw through it all and you chose to excel
[00:01:04] I can't see why they chose to lock you in a cell
[00:01:07] Well I'm prayin' that you're free by the time you get this
[00:01:09] Never known a convict with a 396
[00:01:12] GPA but in Rome GA
[00:01:14] Black boys havin' sex with white girls no way
[00:01:17] In any other state it would have been okay
[00:01:20] For two high school teens to have sexual relations
[00:01:22] But at age 15 pffft that's molestation
[00:01:25] In the great state of Georgia and I really feel for ya
[00:01:28] She was only three months away from being sixteen
[00:01:30] You a few months away from achievin' your dreams
[00:01:33] All American played on the football team
[00:01:36] Accepted into Vanderbilt a scholar in the making
[00:01:38] And the jury saw fit to acquit you of the raping
[00:01:41] After only fifteen minutes of deliberation
[00:01:44] What's the state of our nation when the laws ain't in check
[00:01:47] Got you servin' ten years for consensual sex
[00:01:49] I'm perplexed and ashamed at the games that playin'
[00:01:52] Tryin' to keep a young man from his life and education
[00:01:55] Not to mention a family you've been with since age ten
[00:01:57] Regardless of your race they loved you and took you in
[00:02:00] So let your struggle make you great don't let it make you hate
[00:02:02] Know we won't stop workin' till you free from them gates
[00:02:05] Much love and respect hold your head god bless
[00:02:08] From the bottom of my heart MURS
