Put your hands up, walk back slowly, suspects of what?
We were driving through Louisiana, returning to Alabama
after visiting a dying friend.
The Highway Patrol doing, I guess their duty,
got behind us, we saw it coming in the rear-view mirror.
We braced, knowing two black men, only
riding I-20, because of our skin color, in 2014, were suspect.
Stopped, we told our stories, since they were the same,
we were just given a ticket, DWB.
Drivin' while Black.
