Justice Games

Every story has at least two sides
So you can't just flip a coin when you decide
Who lives, who dies
Justice oh justice. where have you gone?
You're judges and police can't be counted

So how about you and I just draw straws
The shortest one walks, the longest one crawls from the law
Justice oh justice, where have you gone?
Have you forgotten to teach me right from wrong?

I was born a poor child I grew up fast
And wished I could afford
The dreams of my parents
How they worked so hard
To feed my mouth
Try to grow
My mind

So I learned everything a boy ought know
And I went places, good men ought not go
So curious, I questioned
Justice oh justice, where have you been
There's death on the streets
Whose bloods on your hands

I risked it all
Just to raise my voice
To grab some attention
Make some noise
I cried injustice
Dissent was mine
I got beat down
I crossed the line

The police brought me in to draw straws with the judge
But he cried guilty wouldn't hear me plead for what I done
Justice oh justice, now I know your game
When people start to question, you build a bigger cage
Injustice, Injustice, silence is your game
I tossed you a nickel, wheres my head. whats my name
