They got me IN A Picture fRaMe uP I was guilty because I was black Running down the street before it got dark I had to be home before the street lights on Before dusk I'm runnin home A police cruiser drives by They got me on their computer They got me IN A Picture fRaMe uP Their was a robbery and they said that Suspect looks like me wearin grey hoody Police siren on Pulls me over, wow.. Now the story we all look familiar They got me N A Picture frame And if I'm the same shade of skin And if I'm at the wrong place And all you see is my face Must be automatic then They got me IN A Picture fRaMe uP I am, I am the suspect I am guilty so arrest me My innocents belongs to Someone else of a lighter hue So what are you gonna do while DWB you say wha't does that mean it means Driving(walking) While Being Black I am, I am the suspect I am guilty so arrest me My innocents belongs to only me? They got me IN A Picture fRaMe uP written words by James Edward Lee Sr. 1/20/18
