Title: Tyler
Lyrics TylerAppeal to the governor of Louisiana
You may get an answer the process is slow
Federal government too much to help him
It's been nearly five years and they won't let him go
Tyler is guilty the white judge has said so
What right do we have to say it's not so
Tyler is guilty the white judge has said so
What right do we have to say it's not so
Testify under pressure, a racist jury
Government lawyers it's all for show
With rows of white faces, false accusations
He's framed up for murder. They won't let him go
Police gun was planted. No matching bullets
No prints on the handle, no proof to show
But tyler is guilty the white judge has said so
They show him no mercy. They won't let him go
Tyler is guilty the white judge has said so
What right do we have to say it's not so
Tyler is guilty the white judge has said so
What right do we have to say it's not so |
