Wyclef Jean - Justice (If You're 17) Tribute For Trayvon Martin lyrics

[Verse 1] If you're 17 and you're wearing a hoodie You're on your phone talking to your shawty Make no mistake, there's one like you in every city You know the story He gonna creep up, from behind Have you leave earth before your time By the time, oh for sure He gonna say he was so scared That he shot you up [Hook] He could have been the next president He could have been the next Steve Job He could have been the next astronaut So until we can judge this [Verse 2] We won't stop, neighborhood watcher If you're 17 with a hoodie on, watch out for the neighborhood watcher If you at the right neighborhood at the wrong time Neighborhood watcher This might be your last call to your girlfriend Neighborhood watcher Man I fear for you, if you're 17 If you're 17 you should learn the law Fight with your mind, stronger than arms Make no mistake, there's one like you On every block, in every country [Bridge] Soon as unite, and become one game Like the bridges and the tunnels if they don't understand Freedom yeah, for Trayvon [Hook] [Verse 3] We won't stop, cause the man he k**ed He called him a fool But how … you gonna come to a gun fight With no guns to draw The younging that you … blood spill You consider in my family But … to the floor, and he didn't pull his ratchet You need to stop it, neighborhood watcher [Outro] If you're 17 with a hoodie on, watch out for the neighborhood watcher If you at the right neighborhood at the wrong time Neighborhood watcher This might be your last call to your girlfriend when shots fire Man I fear for you, if you 17, neighborhood watcher Neighborhood watcher, oh, neighborhood watcher, oh
