Steel Pulse - Put Your Hoodies On (4 Trayvon)

Put your hoodies on
This one's for Trayvon
Put your hoodies on
This one's for Trayvon

This is a plea to all
Oh yes to all mankind
You can't escape the Judgement
Or peril in this time
Now all the weak in heart
Come stand up for your rights
So just and so divine
When the hungry get a bite, hey

Put your hoodies on
This one's for Trayvon
Put your hoodies on
This one's for Trayvon

Put your hoodies on
This one's for Trayvon

I'm speaking out to all
There's something we can do
To tip the scales of justice
Of the flag red, white and blue
No way we'll shut our mouths
Won't let this thing lie down
This act of homicide
That night in Sanford town, oh!

Put your hoodies on
This one's for Trayvon
Put your hoodies on
This one's for Trayvon

I'm go break it down
I don't understand it really
Imagine that was me
That was walking with my hoodie
Another young life straight taken from a bullet
Or should I say bully
Trayvon attacked him? But how could he?
When all the evidence never added up fully
So now we can't forget the 26th of February
A crime unjustified
And now it's necessary for us to take charge y'all

Put your hoodies on
Ain't no doubt in Jim Crow's South
This one's for Trayvon
Won't shout my mouth it's all about the hoodies
Put your hoodies on
This one's for Trayvon

No matter your religion
You make it your decision
But if it takes collision
We've got the vision

For equal rights
Cannot wait another night
But I've got this bitter taste
Don't let this court case go to waste, no no no

He was only seventeen
Only seventeen
(Woe woe shot down)
Like a dog in the streets

Put your hoodies on
This one's for Trayvon
Put your hoodies on
This one's for Trayvon

Put your hoodies on..
