When prejudice, racism and disorder rules the streets
People running, screaming and the city becomes ablaze
Beatings and shootings, gangsters favorite hideaway
One man with a brick put another in a daze
Rioting and vehemence graveling for days
Gangs take over, they think they've got us beat.

Street violence, city comes apart at the seams
Over one man's stupidity no one can see
Killing, raping and pillaging stores a disgrace
Punish the guilty that's certainly the key
Perpetrating violence because of race
In every way necessary or what's deemed.

Stealing and looting all because of a verdict
Disagreeable and disgruntled people run wild
Men, women and children impressed with danger
Vandalism overtakes, so much for the mild
Ball up their fists haul off on a stranger
Crime is a habit the should be kicked.

A man was tried and should be convicted
Now riots break out all over the states
People don't understand cops did their job
Video tape not allowed up for debate
Racism blamed for crime, time they've robbed
Brutal slayings outstanding words said.

Man goes free, now cops sit rotting in jail
The man breaks the law again and runs
Crime pays and the intruder went free
The cops will die after everything is said and done
This is not right or fair, can't they see?
Sentenced to time in prison private hell.

Judicial Trespass

Judicial Trespass

Does the innocent and trail?
Could he be in denial?
Rising, the gorge of bile.

Does the man really believe?
That there is no retrieve
Can he willingly leave?

Is he insane or just smart?
Can he live? Does he have heart?
Death would be a good start.

Is the man guilty of murder?
Did he? He know no further
Beating the odds, it's absurd.

Did he run because of guilt?
Adhering to him like silt
Death reigns the house he built.

Does he go away scot-free?
Can't the judge and jury see?
Freedom for race is key.

Does he plead not guilty?
Is it the way it should be?
Why is he now very free?

He knows more than is settled
With the public mind he has mettled
Our own coffin has he nailed?

Does he protect someone close?
Someone loves and admire most
Someone who may come and boast.

Trail was over before it began
Herds of lawyers doing what they can
Should of been convicted, he ran.

Does hatred, anger and prejudice rule us?
Or is it doing what it can and must?
Life and death reasoning or bust.

Can move on past skin color?
White, black, rich, poor rapes the door
Can we survive? Can't take anymore.

Was the man let go because of stardom?
Or was it fate that granted a pardon?
Or was he just second to none?

Did the jury make the right decision?
Or did they release a killer, what may come?
Judicial trespass guilt's through and done.

Judicial trespass overlooking
Innocence bares looking
Judicial trespass forgetting
Judicial trespass unbelieving
