Oh Brown

The people of Ferguson hearing the rounds Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang loud sounds Shots fired youth slumped to the ground A big guy, but kind, a gentle soul last name Brown He said someday his name would be known to the world A divine prophecy definitely told His blood is crying from the ground Crying for vengeance, crying for justice in song An aspiring rapper dubbed himself "Big Mike" Inspired the visit of Jessie Jackson, Sean Combs and Spikes Let not your tomorrows defile his name, by putting on the hate crown It’s not about our rage tomorrow. It's about the legacy and memory of Michael Brown “Michael Brown, Life everlasting in the heavens bro” ©Copyright August 26, 2014 by Brian Pierre-Alexander © All Rights Reserved
