BLACKOUT(Trayvon Martin)
They told me to BLACKOUT my profile pic, they told me to BLACKOUT for this, BLACKOUT until the justice is served, but then they BLACKOUT when the tables are turned in their own communities, all of a sudden its a BLACKOUT of their memory, and they back out of the situation in helping to stop the destruction going on within their own backyard, they BLACKOUT for one that they never known, and BLACKOUT as well for the ones they did know, not wanting to be labeled that snitch, they gotta keep it G, but yet holla we need to speak up for that boy T, condolences to his folks, but miss me with the BLACKOUT quotes, cause BLACK on BLACK been destroying each other for a long time, and in most our minds its just another crime, a BLACKOUT under the street lights because we done shot em out to conceal the murder as it happened, a BLACKOUT as the dress code when the guns start clappin, a BLACKOUT here, a BLACKOUT there, and before you know it, BLACK is BLACKED OUT in the minds of everyone else because of how our own street justice is dealt, yet we wanna holla bout American Justice, when we are responsible for the majority of our own mortality, but no one wanna speak up on that, its follow the leader while we don't even know who the leader is, now we BLACKING OUT, please tell me, how is this gonna persuade the judge, and how can SOME of you judge the nature of murder itself, cause a few weeks back, SOME OF YALL were BLACKED OUT in your own zone, hittin facebook on your phones, turning Hernandez situation into a joke and hilarious pics, but now you expect everyone to take this on a serious tip, SOME OF YOU are the dick infected with A.I.D.S. on the tip, and unfortunately, that AIDS is ignorance, so as I back out, I'll close my eyes and BLACK OUT until we stop puttin one over all of our own, and with that said, it looks like I'll be sleep for a long time
