“George Jackson, |
[0:11.564] |
I woke up this morning |
[0:14.021] |
There were tears in my bed |
[0:17.263] |
They killed a man I really loved |
[0:19.648] |
Shot him through the head |
[0:22.436] |
Lord, Lord, they cut George Jackson down |
[0:26.483] |
Lord, Lord, they laid him in the ground |
[0:42.399] |
Sent him off to prison |
[0:44.857] |
For a seventy dollar robbery |
[0:48.058] |
Closed the door behind him |
[0:50.390] |
And they threw away the key |
[0:53.248] |
Lord, Lord, they cut George Jackson down |
[0:57.332] |
Lord, Lord, they laid him in the ground |
[1:14.665] |
He wouldn't take shit from no one |
[1:17.382] |
He wouldn't bow down or kneel |
[1:20.243] |
Authorities, they hated him |
[1:22.984] |
Because he was just too real |
[1:26.052] |
Lord, Lord, they cut George Jackson down |
[1:30.082] |
Lord, Lord, they laid him in the ground |
[1:46.869] |
Prison guards, they cursed him |
[1:49.343] |
As they watched him from above |
[1:50.954] |
But they were frightened of his power |
[1:54.486] |
They were scared of his love |
[1:57.588] |
Lord, Lord, so they cut George Jackson down |
[2:01.892] |
Lord, Lord, they laid him in the ground |
[2:42.748] |
Sometimes I think this whole world |
[2:45.472] |
Is one big prison yard |
[2:48.512] |
Some of us are prisoners |
[2:51.015] |
The rest of us are guards |
[2:53.704] |
Lord, Lord, they cut George Jackson down |
[2:57.456] |
Lord, Lord, they laid him in the ground |
