Arizona

All through these times

We see all these crimes

In Arizona, there's a law passed

if you're brown, you'll be sassed

Watch yourself and your papers

no matter how hard your labor

or, Staying free, here, will be short

 

Race was blown away, years ago

or so i thought; it still grows

People are people, except when they're brown

Why make all the people now frown?

Freedom to everyone so they say

This irony is no different then yesterday

When we did the same to the other sort
