In a time where blacks were less valued than dogs
before Martin dared to dream
before the Scottsboro boys wished for freedom
Emmett Till had a face
A beautiful face that dared to rebel
I warned that boy
I begged him please
I told him not to blink an eye
I told him not to look their way
I told that boy so many times
You are not white
And by all means I know
It shouldnt matter much
