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…
