STOP, DONT SHOOT!!!
I'm a student, see my books!
PLEASE, HOLD ON, HOLD ON
I play ball too!
No, no I'm different, just look!
Just heading home
Chill, chill that's my mom on the phone
I don't know? maybe I'm a clone
Wait, wait it was a joke
No, I don't smoke
No, I never robbed a store
No, never played cello on the floor
No, never seen that whore before
No, I never dealt drugs
No, my boys are not thugs
No, wait what gun?
Assume the position you say
Sure, right after I say
I may be a different shade
But your son, he's in the same grade
I love sports and watch movies
Studying hard to reach the stars
Won't you allow me to go far?
Far beyond my culture, my religion, my beliefs, my traditions, my surroundings, my limitations
I see your fear, however you fail to embrace mine
Taught to place me in a category
However, raised to be extraordinary
Look at me...I'm just a boy
Living in a man
I wish you would understand
At this moment, my life is in your hands
What's the final plan?
Are you going to give me a chance?
A chance to live
A chance to learn
A chance to teach
A chance to love
A chance to succeed
A chance to give
A chance to procreate...that's all
Officer, it's your call...
