I Heard 'em Say

I heard 'em say, that my good friend,

Was black and poor

I heard 'em say, that if we talked

The shoot him more

I said we might look reckless

But we're not helpless

We may look ragged, because we have been torn

We're not afraid, of your kind, yeah

Anymore

I heard 'em say, that if we leave

They should lock the door

I heard 'em say, they could do

What they done before

I said we might look reckless

But we're not helpless

We may look ragged, because we have been torn

We're not afraid, of your kind, yeah

Anymore

Now this man, took my hands

And tied them up

Then he drug, my good friend

Behind his truck

I said I might look worthless, but I'm not helpless

I may look ragged, because I have been torn

I'm still not afraid, of your kind yeah

Anymore.
