LYRICS TO FREE THE JENA 6Justice for Everybody Not African
Indians and Latin kids lock them up and pack them in
Crime pays so the DA will trap them in
It's the new millennium slave trafficking
Call Weezy, Call Baby, Call BG, Call Juvenile, Mannie Fresh, Call Master P
Soulja Slim would have rode but he in the ground
Somebody call Young Turk he 'bout to get out
Call Romeo he ballin' on a scholarship
Don't be silenced by record label politics
Original Man so I'll be the genesis you know what the mission is:
We gonna FREE THE JENA 6Jena, Louisiana they call it the Deep South
In other words black folks keep out
Or stay in your place its OK if you're playing it safe
Or a wide grin stay on your face
Kids raised to hate
Before age 8 they learn to tie nooses this is what a lie produces
And 10 years later you beside the student in high school
In his mind you're a visitor N---- it's my school
This is my room don't you even try coon
It sets the stage for a showdown at high noon
Lunchtime in the cafeteria one mind thinking blacks inferior
One time under a tree that cracks the exterior and reveals the truth
Must of forgot that you're still a spook
You'll remember when you see this noose see this tree was used
To hang your ancestors after we'd party and barbecue
This led to rising tension when the ones who did it got a brief suspension
And you know our spirit we will not surrender we always fight back
It's on now its white vs. black like a war
A black kid was jumped it opened the door
A white man pulled a shotgun at a convenience store on black children
They didn't put their hands to the ceiling
They disarmed the man and then ran from the building
Unless you're born black you can't understand the feeling
They beat that boy down they never planned to kill him
Them young brothers just wanted to defend they friends
And in the end to suspend is all it should have been
But they went further
They was charged as grown men for attempted murder
For a fight in high school
They were made an example in Jena that whites rule
And you won't see this on the Nightly News
Cause they'll likely choose dog fighting and blues
Michael Vick being stripped of his lightning shoes
Not 6 teenagers being charged despite the rules
Or a racist prosecutor trying to take our future
This is madness children behind bars this is savage
As we spend money on cars, jewelry and fabric
Our children need our help to heal this damage
When you don't speak the truth watch your realness vanish
So sign the petition organize for the victims
Please give your money, your time, and your wisdom
And to Mychal Bell were gonna fight for your freedom
And we want a million dollars for every night you keep himIt's Justice for Everybody Not African
