People keep pointing and laughing, what am I going to do?

That was shocking and it wasn't right.
To get to be treated as equals, black people had to fight.

A man was convicted for rape even though he didn't commit that crime.
He'll be branded a rapist for the rest of his life and that's a long time.

When I was a child, I wasn't a good sport at losing.
I took a bat to the winning team and I gave them a good bruising.

My cousin spits lots of saliva when he talks.
If you're near him, you'll slip on the floor when you walk.

You seduced her and now I'm going to call the law on you.

After you hang me, you won't even feel remorse.
You asked if I have anything to say so I'm saying it.
This is an evil law and you're evil for obeying it.
