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
