Made You Die (Trayvon Martin Tribute) Lyrics

[M1 of Dead Prez]
I'm tired of the marchin', the rallyin', the protestin'
We hoopin' and hollerin', still we gettin' no justice

Cedeno, Diallo, Bell, Grant and Trayvon
It's the free mix on your radio station
Turn it up so you can drown out all the media hype

We plottin', plannin' and strategizin' ready to fight
The government ain't gon' stop it as long as they make a profit
Off our criminalization our people gon' be a target

Justin Sipp and Wendell Allen, who gon' be next?
Fuck the talkin' get some power then we get some respect
When I die don't put me on a shirt my nigga
Be a revolutionary make 'em hurt my nigga

That's a quote from NY Money that's my RBG family
Stic Man, Mikeflo and Mos Def it's insanity
Cause we do the same thing expectin' different results
I'm checkin' the vital signs but I ain't gettin' no pulse


(Yasiin Bey)
A view from a true G’s perspective
These mic machines oppose all oppression
They appointed here to uphold justice
But it get denied, yo, they cheat and they lie, folk
Hate views, fake moves, and wild hostile
Young black world in a struggle for survival
Great stress in effect, disrespect, disconnect
Judged on why these skittles and iced tea
Gun shots and blood that break the nights raids
A self-appointed judge, it might be Nazi
Insecurity identity doubt
You think that they see a neighbor, they see a villain is out
Standard answer it was random police movement
Inconclusive confusion, the present news clips, callous bullshit
Every talking head is clueless, man they stuck on channel stupid

Sick of the town, we know it’s win that
It’s time to fix that for every place we live at
Put in work where ought to change the wack facts
That make you holler in the hour when they say that
They shootin’, made you die
They act as if the murder in a sense is not crime
Killers on the run, watchmen your times up, Mr. Murder where you hidin’ at, they shootin’, made you die
They act as if the murder in a sense is not crime
Killers on the run, watchmen your times up, I hope hear this
Right where you’re hidin’ at

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
