To a Black Boy - Danger Mouse/Murs[00:00:01]

Written by：C. Dedrick/B. Teague[00:00:02]

Dear Marcus I know it's been hard times[00:00:45]

Since they made you the victim of your so called crime[00:00:48]

Kinda snatched you out the game of life in your prime[00:00:51]

They already took one we won't let them take nine[00:00:53]

Since birth it seems the deck was stacked against you to fail[00:00:56]

With your father not there mom's in and out of jail[00:00:59]

But you saw through it all and you chose to excel[00:01:01]

I can't see why they chose to lock you in a cell[00:01:04]

Well I'm prayin' that you're free by the time you get this[00:01:07]

Never known a convict with a 396[00:01:09]

GPA but in Rome GA[00:01:12]

Black boys havin' sex with white girls no way[00:01:14]

In any other state it would have been okay[00:01:17]

For two high school teens to have sexual relations[00:01:20]

But at age 15 pffft that's molestation[00:01:22]

In the great state of Georgia and I really feel for ya[00:01:25]

She was only three months away from being sixteen[00:01:28]

You a few months away from achievin' your dreams[00:01:30]

All American played on the football team[00:01:33]

Accepted into Vanderbilt a scholar in the making[00:01:36]

And the jury saw fit to acquit you of the raping[00:01:38]

After only fifteen minutes of deliberation[00:01:41]

What's the state of our nation when the laws ain't in check[00:01:44]

Got you servin' ten years for consensual sex[00:01:47]

I'm perplexed and ashamed at the games that playin'[00:01:49]

Tryin' to keep a young man from his life and education[00:01:52]

Not to mention a family you've been with since age ten[00:01:55]

Regardless of your race they loved you and took you in[00:01:57]

So let your struggle make you great don't let it make you hate[00:02:00]

Know we won't stop workin' till you free from them gates[00:02:02]

Much love and respect hold your head god bless[00:02:05]

From the bottom of my heart MURS[00:02:08]
