They have written me off They could have prevented my demise But they would rather pay the cost For a false witnesses lies This epidemic May soon have a remedy As for me It’s too late They’ve already denied clemency The power of God In the hands of man Leaving those who oppose Too scared to stand I was convicted Before I was tried The world rejoiced As my mother cried Could they not see it From her side? A suited tribe Thirsty for someone to die Feeling foolish Because in my mind Justice was supposed to be blind Defense was worthless Media circus Where the jurors were Corrupted clowns Before they knew their purpose Distorted versions, They knew I shot every round Guilty! Is what they found I was victimized By a victims cries Seeing my innocence Refusing to look me in my eyes My sincerity had been denied It was evidently evident The evidence was irrelevant Judge served no purpose Playing God for the hell of it Praying for the privileged To pardon me Pro-life defender Pretenders Discarded me Waiting for the phone to ring Hoping that it will I’ve been denied clemency My fate has already been sealed…

Denied Clemency
They have written me off They could have prevented my demise But they would rather pay the cost For a false witnesses lies This epidemic May soon have a remedy As for me It’s too late They’ve already denied clemency The power of God In the hands of man Leaving those who oppose Too scared to stand I was convicted Before I was tried The world rejoiced As my mother cried Could they not see it From her side? A suited tribe Thirsty for someone to die Feeling foolish Because in my mind Justice was supposed to be blind Defense was worthless Media circus Where the jurors were Corrupted clowns Before they knew their purpose Distorted versions, They knew I shot every round Guilty! Is what they found I was victimized By a victims cries Seeing my innocence Refusing to look me in my eyes My sincerity had been denied It was evidently evident The evidence was irrelevant Judge served no purpose Playing God for the hell of it Praying for the privileged To pardon me Pro-life defender Pretenders Discarded me Waiting for the phone to ring Hoping that it will I’ve been denied clemency My fate has already been sealed…
