State Of Georgia

Down in old Savannah

Shots ran through the night

Man lies pistol whipped in the corner

A cop crumbles in the streakin' light

Now they see me molly hopkins over the hay stack now

See me swimming with a bow laid down

Detective man he'd do what he got to do

When a black man shoot a white man down

Oh they want retribution

Don't like trouble of this kind

They round up all the witnesses and suspects

And accused them of lesser crimes

Now they see me molly hopkins over the hay stack now

See me swimming with a bow laid down

Detective man he'd do what he got to do

When a black man shoot a white man down

So now he call it up medium choices

Tell her we need a menace ye

And im about to be killed by the State of Georgia

And it don't matter if I'm hid or safe

This is why gone middle city got it wrong

Just the trying that you not please to call

Mhmmmmm jumpin' jehosephat

Where you gonna turn

The system has gone and failed you

And it'll fail the next hangbird

All I'm askin is for a true day in court

After 19 years on the death row bed

7 of 9 say they gave false witness at the time

But the judge he still wants me dead

Cause there was no physical weapon

No murder evidence

No appeal no clemency

Judge said willin' I was only fit for killin'

Not worthy to believe in God

Or him in me

Whoa and my body temper rose

Noone ever seems to know

It's only a black hole of expediency

And I'm about to be killed by the State of Georgia

And it don't look good for me

And I'm about to be killed
