NM - To k** a Mockingbird Rap lyrics

[Hook] Racism an abysmal thing, gotta treat everyone all the same Being a black man in this culture is insane, why go out and ruin his name? He wasn't looking for fame Doing a service, Mayella perverse it Kissing a black man that's against code Everybody knows it, it's how it goes Now everybody knows, Tom raped? I don't think that story is straight [Verse 1] To k** A Mockingbird, the book is great Understanding from Scout's point of view Everything is not new, retelling the story Scouting it out, it's not gory Paying attention to details in the story TKM Journals, a different story, Mrs. Calareso Got us all working on an allegory [Hook] Racism an abysmal thing, gotta treat everyone all the same Being a black man in this culture is insane, why go out and ruin his name? He wasn't looking for fame Doing a service, Mayella perverse it Kissing a black man that's against code Everybody knows it, it's how it goes Now everybody knows, Tom raped? I don't think that story is straight [Verse 2] Ok, so Tom had one job, he did it With only one arm, he didn't do it Forced into court, Atticus helping being criticized in all sorts Atticus showing the innocence of Tom They all in court, Mayella's breaking down She's crying about some secrets that Atticus has found Bob Ewell leaning in his chair looking at them with a frown If this jury was true their verdict would have been sound And we all already know...Tom, a dog sent to the pound [Hook] Racism an abysmal thing, gotta treat everyone all the same Being a black man in this culture is insane, why go out and ruin his name? He wasn't looking for fame Doing a service, Mayella perverse it Kissing a black man that's against code Everybody knows it, it's how it goes Now everybody knows, Tom raped? I don't think that story is straight [Verse 3] Alright they locked him up, took his freedom, he screaming I didn't do it Bob Ewell, chewing and spitting Atticus knows he is “Ewelling” Tom trying to regain his freedom, jumping the fence of oppression The symbolism of a negro trying to get to the north The guards have no heart for the one-armed man, shot up seventeen times, when they could have just ran Now Tom laying in blood, forgotten and didn't do a crime [Hook] Racism an abysmal thing, gotta treat everyone all the same Being a black man in this culture is insane, why go out and ruin his name? He wasn't looking for fame Doing a service, Mayella perverse it Kissing a black man that's against code Everybody knows it, it's how it goes Now everybody knows, Tom raped? I don't think that story is straight
