Little boy caught in a drive-by
小男孩遭遇飞车枪击
Witnessed the killer who made his daddy die

And 'cause he identified and signed the dotted line

He could feel it in his stomach he signed away his life
他感到腹中绞痛 仿佛签下了生死状
Little boy who once was the leader of his class
这个曾是班级领袖的男孩
The little source of joy always neatly dressed
曾经充满欢乐 总是衣着整洁
Now would hang his head and be left crying at his desk
如今他只能垂首 伏案痛哭
Was found with his mother lying in her lap
被发现时依偎在母亲膝间
With two bullets in his chest
胸膛嵌着两颗子弹
And oh my God what is this madness
天啊 这疯狂何时能休
I will not let it kill by gladness
我绝不让它扼杀希望
And oh my God what is this madness

Picked himself up from hustling drugs and gutters

Doing time on the inside he found a higher power

Now back with a mission to help us help each other
如今归来 肩负使命助人互助
Respected from bourgeoisie to homeless in the street

From universities Africa the middle east

And through the threats of death he spoke truth and set men free
纵死亡威胁 仍仗义执言解放众生
But the power of the truth made enemies of the weak

He was killed by his own people

Shake off the system's chains no longer be their fool
挣脱体制枷锁 不再任人愚弄
In the face of brutality show the other cheek

Trigger-happy policing will never kill our dignity
