SHAME

 
                BRICKS FLY THROUGH THE AIR
                WINDOWS ARE BEING SMASHED
                FIRES BURNING OUT OF CONTROL
                LOOT FROM STORES IS STASHED

                IT’S ANOTHER NIGHT OF RIOTS
                BECAUSE OF POLICE TACTICS, BAD
                AGAINST A RACE STEREOTYPED VIOLENT
                IN AN UPROAR, RAGING MAD

                WHY DOES VIOLENCE ALWAYS HAPPEN?
                WHY DO PROTESTS GO BAD?
                WHY DOES RIOTING AND LOOTING
                OCCUR BECAUSE YOU’RE MAD?

                WHAT POINT DOES IT MAKE
                TO LOOT, PILLAGE AND STEAL
                DESTROY SOMEONE ELSE’S DREAM
                TO TRY TO PROVE ONE’S IDEAL

                THERE’S A REASON FOR ALL OF THIS
                IT’S OBVIOUS FOR ALL TO SEE
                GET THE CHIP OFF YOUR SHOULDER
                A BETTER WORLD THIS WOULD BE

                TO GET ALONG IN THIS WORLD
                THE SECRET IS TO BEHAVE
                NO MATTER IF IN YOUR PAST
                YOUR FAMILY WAS FREE OR SLAVES

                IF I’M WRONG THEN PROVE IT
                REVENGE, DON’T GO LOOKING FOR
                IF YOU CONTINUE AS ALWAYS
                TROUBLE WILL ALWAYS FIND YOUR DOOR

                IN REALITY, ALL RACES MATTER
                BE TREATED EQUAL, THEY SHOULD
                UNTIL WE FINALLY COME TO TERMS
                BAD WILL ALWAYS OVERCOME GOOD

                IF THIS UPSETS YOU, MAKES YOU MAD
                THE ANSWER IS TO CHANGE
                IF YOU DON’T, THEN I AM SORRY
                YOU’LL ALWAYS BE ENRAGED`
