No one could see it, only those who live it

No one believed it, they said that it didn't exist.

Then everybody saw it, four cops beating a man

He was black and they were white and they said that it doesn't exist.



Everybody waited to see what the law would do.

They just don't get it, privilege is the law.

Now everybody's watching, L.A. city is burning with hate.

Everybody's asking, "Why has it happened again?"



Black and white, right from wrong

dodge the blame and pass it around

Black and white, it's not one over another

we must begin together



Everybody waited to see what the country would do. You just don't get

it,

we're fighting a civil war
