Racism is as American as apple pie
And if one black man dies who's gonna cry?
Smashed and handcuffed and beaten to death
One colored boy to deal with less
A graffiti artist was his crime
Mayor Koch says New York's finest are fine
Can justice really be this blind
Is the responsibility yours or mine?
South Bronx elderly woman can't pay her rent
She's a mental case so the SWAT team was sent
Wouldn't open the door so through the window they went
Blew her away in cold blood without regret
Pregnant woman from east L.A
Asked who knocked, they would not say
