Styles P - Trigga Man lyrics

[Intro: Barack Obama] I think all of us have to do some soul-searching to find out how does something like this happen. And that means that we examine the laws and context for what happened, as well the specifics of the incident. But my main message is to the parents of Trayvon Martin. If I had a son, he'd look like Trayvon [Intro: Raheem DeVaughn] Trigga man, man [Verse 1: Raheem DeVaughn] Dear a**a**inator, dear murderer Did you ever stop to think That I coulda been a teacher, a preacher or played power forward That I coulda been a surgeon, a father, a grandpa one day But you, YOU'RE A DREAM KILLER… [Hook] TRIGGA Man Man TRIGGA Man Man With ya 9 Millimeter, tell me Beyond the color of my skin The hoodie on my head Did you ever stop to think Or was HATRED on ya mind TRIGGA MAN [Verse 2: Raheem DeVaughn] I'm supposed to be in the year book I'm supposed to be king at the prom Maybe even get a full ride for an education What a price what price to pay for a walk to the store Left for dead like an animal You're a COWARD and a CRIMINAL [Hook] [Verse 3: Styles P] The world's in a dark place Because of the hatred towards a dark face It ain't a race card thing because it's not a card race It's your place and my place, that will make it our place This hate run deep before the 1800's Wear a hoodie and they could k** you that's the way they wanted And a man k**ed a boy, that's the way they hunted And the cops with all the laws that's way they fronted Homicide is justified because of ya skin tone If they left us in Africa we woulda been home Think of that s**a a** TRIGGA man Before you go and k** a black little man Insane world that the sane's in Yhey gon treat you different if you ain't got the same skin And that element is wack And the sad sh** about it is the president is black [Hook] [Outro: Female voice] Seventeen-year-old Jordan Russell Davis was fatally shot and k**ed by a forty-five year old man by the name of Michael Dunn.
