[Intro: Barack Obama]

I think all of us have to do some soul-searching to find out how does something like this happen. And that means that we examine the laws and context for what happened, as well the specifics of the incident. But my main message is to the parents of Trayvon Martin. If I had a son, he'd look like Trayvon


[Intro: Raheem DeVaughn]

Trigga man, man


[Verse 1: Raheem DeVaughn]

Dear assassinator, dear murderer

Did you ever stop to think

That I coulda been a teacher, a preacher or played power forward

That I coulda been a surgeon, a father, a grandpa one day

But you, YOU’RE A DREAM KILLER…


[Hook]

TRIGGA Man Man TRIGGA Man Man

With ya 9 Millimeter, tell me

Beyond the color of my skin

The hoodie on my head

Did you ever stop to think

Or was HATRED on ya mind

TRIGGA MAN


[Verse 2: Raheem DeVaughn]

I’m supposed to be in the year book

I’m supposed to be king at the prom

Maybe even get a full ride for an education

What a price what price to pay for a walk to the store

Left for dead like an animal

You’re a COWARD and a CRIMINAL


[Hook]


[Verse 3: Styles P]

The world's in a dark place

Because of the hatred towards a dark face

It ain’t a race card thing because it's not a card race

It’s your place and my place, that will make it our place

This hate run deep before the 1800's

Wear a hoodie and they could kill you that’s the way they wanted

And a man killed a boy, that’s the way they hunted

And the cops with all the laws that’s way they fronted

Homicide is justified because of ya skin tone

If they left us in Africa we woulda been home

Think of that sucka ass TRIGGA man

Before you go and kill a black little man

Insane world that the sane's in

Yhey gon treat you different if you ain’t got the same skin

And that element is wack

And the sad shit about it is the president is black


[Hook]


[Outro: Female voice]

Seventeen-year-old Jordan Russell Davis was fatally shot and killed by a forty-five year old man by the name of Michael Dunn. Now apparently Michael Dunn was in Jacksonville, Florida for his son's wedding. And he pulled up next to a sports utility vehicle in a red car, and he noticed that the music was too loud -- he couldn't handle the loud music. So he rolled down his window, and he asked the guys in the car to turn it down. Somehow, a verbal altercation ensued, and it gets to a point where Michael Dunn gets a gun, and he starts shooting at the several black men in the car, okay? Seventeen-year-old Jordan Russell Davis was shot twice in the back of the neck and, as a result, died. Authorities say, Jacksonville police in specific, say that there was no gun found in the vehicle, they were unarmed, so they don't understand why Michael Dunn shot into the car eight or nine times, killing an unarmed seventeen year old


[Male voice]

So he says, oh, I thought I saw a shotgun. Except, he didn't
