No one could see it, only those who live it
No one believed it, they said that it didn't exist.
Then everybody saw it, four cops beating a man
He was black and they were white and they said that it doesn't exist.
Everybody waited to see what the law would do.
They just don't get it, privilege is the law.
Now everybody's watching, L.A. city is burning with hate.
Everybody's asking, "Why has it happened again?"
Black and white, right from wrong
dodge the blame and pass it around
Black and white, it's not one over another
we must begin together
Everybody waited to see what the country would do. You just don't get
it,
we're fighting a civil war
