WYCLEF JEAN - Justice lyrics

rate me

If you're 17 and you're wearing a hoodie

You're on your phone and you're talking to your Shawty

There's one like you in every city

You know the story

He gonna creep up, from behind,

Have you leave earth before your time

By the time, oh for sure

He gonna say he was so scared

That he shot you up

He could have been the next president

He could have been the next ...

He could have been the next astronaut

So until we can judge this

We won't stop, neighborhood watcher

If you're 17 with a hoodie on, watch out for the neighborhood watcher

If you at the right neighborhood at the wrong time

Neighborhood watcher

This might be your last call to your girlfriend

Neighborhood watcher

Man I fear for you, if you're 17

If you're 17 you should learn the law

Fight with your mind, stronger than arms

Make no mistake, there's one like you

On every block, in every country

Soon as unite, and become one game

Like the bridges and the tunnels if they don't understand

Freedom yeah, for Trayvon

He could have been the next president

He could have been the next ...

He could have been the next astronaut

So until we can judge this

We won't stop, cause the man he killed

He called him a fool

But how ... you gonna come to a gun fight

With no guns to draw

The younging that you ... blood spill

You consider in my family

But ... to the floor, and he didn't pull his ratchet

You need to stop it, neighborhood watcher

If you're 17 with a hoodie on, watch out for the neighborhood watcher

If you at the right neighborhood at the wrong time

Neighborhood watcher

This might be your last call to your girlfriend

When shots fire

Man I fear for you, if you 17, neighborhood watcher

Neighborhood watcher, oh, neighborhood watcher, oh.
