As a Black Man Dies Innocently

As a black man dies innocently 
His family sits and cries
They know he didn’t do it
But you think he lied

As a black man dies innocently 
You sit around and laugh 
You sit around and talk on his behalf
Yes you do it in secret but why
Are you just cowards 

As a black man dies innocently
You wonder why we retaliate 
 There is a reason why
We don’t want to sit back 
And watch an innocent man die

As a black man dies innocently 
You wonder why we cry
A black man, an innocent black man, will die.

As a black man dies innocently 
He sits in his trial
He listens to people call him out of his name
 Then he starts to feel shame 

As a black man dies innocently 
Our race is buried in sorrow 
As a black man dies innocently 
We try to find hope for tomorrow
