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”
