How quick would things change if justice was blind Instead of peeking at the pile of money Left behind by those with names of wealth Those who should be wearing black robes Are instead decorated in cheap dollar store green Passing judgment to protect predators and ****** Of the right white and boo who opps I made a mistake... it won't happen again Ignoring the pain and cries of the victim Again and again Just in case you don't know She too is somebody's child Whose future is now bleaker Than that **** you were paid To keep out of criminal row And what if all you knew where the facts of the deed Not the heritage of skin Or how much his father rakes in At the years end Would he have been sentenced as harshly As those who did the same thing But whose ancestors where brought here in chains Forced to work by whip and ignorance and hate How can I ask this How can you not see justice Is no longer blind Its gaging on dead presidents While getting The white right and boo who off The sword has been dropped The scales replaced With cheap stiletto high heels Smeared lipstick on your gavel While predator and ****** go free And nothing is done As if nothing had happened But what if it had been your daughter And not a wealthy mans son If we all went blind Then could we bring This over the counter **** culture To its deserved end Or could it be possible To see it in its ugly truth And just stand up And say enough Is ENOUGH

Enough is ENOUGH
How quick would things change if justice was blind Instead of peeking at the pile of money Left behind by those with names of wealth Those who should be wearing black robes Are instead decorated in cheap dollar store green Passing judgment to protect predators and ****** Of the right white and boo who opps I made a mistake... it won't happen again Ignoring the pain and cries of the victim Again and again Just in case you don't know She too is somebody's child Whose future is now bleaker Than that **** you were paid To keep out of criminal row And what if all you knew where the facts of the deed Not the heritage of skin Or how much his father rakes in At the years end Would he have been sentenced as harshly As those who did the same thing But whose ancestors where brought here in chains Forced to work by whip and ignorance and hate How can I ask this How can you not see justice Is no longer blind Its gaging on dead presidents While getting The white right and boo who off The sword has been dropped The scales replaced With cheap stiletto high heels Smeared lipstick on your gavel While predator and ****** go free And nothing is done As if nothing had happened But what if it had been your daughter And not a wealthy mans son If we all went blind Then could we bring This over the counter **** culture To its deserved end Or could it be possible To see it in its ugly truth And just stand up And say enough Is ENOUGH
