Imagine if Trayvon Killed George Zimmerman – Jasiri X

I decided my put my thoughts about the George Zimmerman not guilty verdict into a 16 bar verse. The lyrics are below

Do you wanna know how messed up the system is?
Imagine if Trayvon killed George Zimmerman
You think Trayvon would have been found innocent?
He would have faced a lifetime of imprisonment
See Stand Your Ground only works if you’re a citizen
So that right isn’t his only whites benefit
We are not legitimate that fact is definitive
Don’t believe ask Marissa Alexander if it is
To protect herself in her own home with her kids
Fired a warning shot she got a 20 year sentencing
Now that’s ridicules but all Black are witnesses
Of the hatred in this nation that’s run by hypocrites
Would the NRA have backed Trayvon?
Would Fox news tell white folks if he gets off stay calm?
We know the truth so I won’t go no further
Cause Trayvon was found guilty of his own murder

Pharoahe Monch – Stand Your Ground

Today, Pharoahe Monch releases a rough version of “Stand Your Ground” in light of the George Zimmerman verdict. Originally intended for his upcoming PTSD LP, Pharoahe chose instead to release the track today and encourage people to “get involved”.

George Zimmerman IS a Creepy Ass Cracker – Jasiri X

I decided to put my thoughts about the Zimmerman Trial, the Voting Rights Act, and Race in America in a 16 bar verse:

Oh you was born black welcome to the curse race
Oh you was born brown you sure this is your birthplace
This is America the home of the white man
Where every other American gets a hyphen
People of color police shoot us on site man
And then be like damn I was just frightened
See just the color of my skin is intimidating
Here I’m a criminal just based on my pigmentation
We need God our only mass is incarceration
We need Jesus cause these preachers got the heart of Satan
They toast to our death celebrating with ice cream
Vanilla with the cake cone must be a white thing
They wanna stop us from voting well what do rights mean?
If the end result of our struggle can just be wiped clean
And Zimmerman is a creepy ass cracker
A racist child murdering liar and bad actor
