about

Written from the perspective of a murdered teenager killed by a racist bully with a gun. Dedicated to Trayvon Martin and written in hopes of safe walks home for children everywhere.

lyrics

Frankly you can thank me
But I just don’t give a damn
I was living, I was free and happy to be me

If you feared me why’d you follow
I didn’t do a thing
Was it the color of my skin, or are you just insane

Don’t you feel so wrong
When you hear that song
It can play so long
When you hear that song

you scare them then you sell them
your shiny metal toys
they listen to your noise
those frightened little boys

I’m another piece of fruit
on your tree of history
I had love and I had dreams
I was a human being (chorus)
