Johnson's Plight

Young boy born
Young boy grew at DePaul's rate
Angels preened him with assurance
Started life as humble fruit
Possessed heavenly form
Love was where he was all based
Struck the mind as alluring
For DePaul, this was something new

A beaming light that life craved for
Who knew that was all faked
Johnson's plight was to wage war
And point guns in our face

Our face, our face, our face
Johnson's plight
Johnson's plight

Was it the stress of street mandem
Was it the "fuck the police" anthems-anthems
Was it life starting to seep anger
Either way the image was corrupted
And then y'all sit wishing we could save him
Survivor's guilt sinking through the brain stem
Descended to caged rat from made men

A beam of light that life craved for
Who knew that was all faked
Johnson's plight was to wage war
And point guns in our face

A beam of light that life craved for
Who knew that was all faked
A beam of light that life craved for
Who knew that was all faked

Was it the stress of street mandem
Was it the "fuck the police" anthems
Was it life starting to seep anger
Either way the image was corrupted
And then y'all sit wishing we could save him
Survivor's guilt sinking through the brain stem
Descended to caged rats from made men
