| Judge hanging from a blackened sky
|
| Well he shouldn’t have messed with the devil in me
|
| Certain things that I dislike
|
| Won’t even get better if you choose to apologize
|
| Some guys won’t get it, some guys will regret it
|
| There is no promise that I didn’t keep
|
| And a heart can be broken, no, no, no promise
|
| Just about a couple of years have passed
|
| There is no more hunting after me I guess
|
| On the run across this whole wide land
|
| There was no damn corner I was save before they kicked my ass
|
| They tried to get, they will never let me
|
| There is no promise that I didn’t keep
|
| But a ban can be broken, no, no, no promise
|
| Man says life can be imprisonment
|
| And it makes no difference if you’re in
|
| Or in the outside world
|
| Once they give you life
|
| And another time they take it
|
| Just told you 'bout the evil I
|
| Let me tell you the story of an innocent man
|
| There’s no way to make them understand
|
| Cause the white man never fails, he’s far too ignorant
|
| They can upset me, but they’ll never get me
|
| There is no promise that I didn’t keep
|
| And a man can be broken, no, no, no promise
|
| Well I admit I killed a copper
|
| And more than that I hanged a judge
|
| But there is something that I disagree with you
|
| There is no such thing called justice
|
| For a black man in this land
|
| As far as I’m concerned you’re convincing
|
| But Gary killed no one
|
| Killed no one |
