[Intro: Dispatcher + George Zimmerman]
Sanford Police Department
There's a real suspicious guy, he's up to no good
[Chorus: Black Thought]
Rest in power, rest in paradise
If I could change matters, I would spare a life
'Cause lives matter, there's clearly nothing as dear as life
You have become a symbol in the spirit life
Rest in power, rest in paradise
If I could change matters, I would spare a life
'Cause lives matter, there's clearly nothing as dear as life
You have become a symbol in the spirit life
[Interlude 1]
They say that, uh, time heals all wounds. It does not
[Verse 1: Black Thought]
In America, one tradition that lasts
Is black blood woven into the fibers o' the flag
Not addressing the problems of the past
To nowhere fast, but following the path
So called "leaders" on hire for the Klan
Still rapin' and settin' fire to the land
Well that's the climate, how can I become a man
If survival is a triumph and we got the underhand? Listen:
One killer, one child, one weapon
The shooter was unthreatened, seventy-one seconds
So many unanswered questions, I see reflections of myself
I feel like in fatherhood we are connected
Too long before the shooter was arrested
So wrong, worldwide, we've been affected
To them it's real, sins of the father remembered still
For every Trayvon Martin, there was an Emmett Till

Rest in power, rest in paradise
If I could change matters, I would spare a life
