Put Your Hoodies On [4 Trayvon] by Steel Pulse

 

CHORUS I

Put your hoodies on

This one's for Trayvon

Put your hoodies on

This one's for Trayvon

 

VERSE I

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

 

CHORUS II

Put your hoodies on

This one's for Trayvon

Put your hoodies on

This one's for Trayvon

 

VERSE II

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!

 

CHORUS II

Put your hoodies on (Put your hoodies on)

This one's for Trayvon

Put your hoodies on

This one's for Trayvon

 

BARUCH RAP

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

 

CHORUS III

Ain't no doubt in Jim Crow's South

Won't shout my mouth it's all about the hoodies

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 no

(Woe woe shot down)

Like a dog in the streets..

 

CHORUS IV

Put your hoodies on…. Adlib and out….

Put your hoodies on

Put your hoodies on

Put your hoodies on

Put your hoodies on
