EYE FOR AN EYE IS COLOR BLIND
She used to walk to school, she was only 12 but so pretty
What had happened to her that day shouldn’t happen to no body
Those three white boys ripped through her like she was machete
They strung her up onto a pole, her hair blew fiercely in the wind
When they were done they dug a hole, they were laughing when they threw her in
They found her buried up to her neck, until not much of her life was left
Who’s going to believe a black kid, when they were done she was deaf
When the town found out they were outrage, to hurt a girl at that age
They found the good ole boys who think their tough
Got a tree and hung them up, upside down till blood rushed to their heads
Those boys all hung there till they lye upside down and dead
And eye for an eye is color blind, if you hurt a child you’re life is mine
That’s the first time the town forgot color, and hugged one another
Something I now understand, hatred is bigger than one man, taught by ignorant man
