Justice denied is justice bred from white lies
Mourning the wicked is something I'll never do
The death of evil will always be long overdue
There is no shame in the joy of a dead threat
If we celebrate, we will not tolerate judgement
You laugh over black death as if it is irrelevant
So why would we care about the death of a white supremacist
All the empathy went to a white man
Did the bank run out for the innocent black man
Or is it just a privilege only whites get
And us black people get left with the debt
They'll label evil as a martyr
As long as its face is the colour of paper
Humanised is the oppressors
Yet the oppressed are labelled the aggressors
Justice favours those with privilege
And the true victims are met with disdain and discrimination
A backwards society -
Where no one cares if you are innocent
If you are a black person
