Florida |
| Now I’ve got a story that I want to share with you |
| Of a young man name Tray he was on his way |
| Till that fatal day, well well well |
| It was 7:12 PM Travon’s girl call to speak to him, yeah yeah yeah |
| He was standing outside his daddy’s home |
| He was all alone, on the cellphone |
| About 7:16 the call goes dead |
| Travon’s on the struggle now |
| He was lyin' on the ground |
| Fighting to save his life, and as the gun went off |
| He got hit in the chest in the neighbor who shot him confessed |
| And the saddest part about this he was only 17 |
| He didn’t even lived his dream |
| Ohh, (no) Florida something’s very wrong (aw Yeah) |
| Need to know, what’s going on? |
| (What's going on?) Can we make this house a home |
| Oh (oh) Florida can I talk to you? |
| Can we walk and have an interview |
| (every time I turn around something is going, is going down) Florida this land |
| is overdue |
| Did I Did I say that he was unarmed |
| How could a baby cause any harm |
| With no weapon insight now you know that ain’t right |
| All he has was his candy in hand (his skittles) Candy |
| What about the family (his brother) |
| His father, sister and Manny |
| It’s so hard to let go, what you can’t control |
| May his soul rest in peace |
| But I hope and pray (I hope, I hope and pray) on judgement day |
| To have it all your way |
| And I know, I know, I know it won’t bring back your baby |
| Sebrina and keep your head up lady |
| Brother Tracy be strong |
| For Travon |
| And the worst part about is |
| He was only 17 didn’t even live his dream |
| Ohh, (ohh) Florida something’s very wrong (they didn’t have to take his life) |
| Need to know, what’s going on?(Please tell me) |
| Can we make this house a home |
| Oh (oh) Florida can I talk to you? |
| (can we march all over this land) |
| Can we walk and have an interview |
| Florida this land is overdue |
| So Florida don’t make me cry |
| For I got leave your way bye bye |
| White sandy beaches and wind |
| Where the sun doesn’t' burn my skin |
| I talk with your first cousin Georgia |
| Heard what happened from the news reporter |
| You’re surrounded by clouds, thunder and lightening sounds and now the sun is |
| falling down |
| Tell me why you don’t love your black babe is the same |
| Why you’ll be calling them out of the name? |
| Where the son of a judge can hold a grudge and take a life away |
| And be free the next day |
| Feels like a hurricane |
| The weather so strange |
| Ohh, no, Florida something’s very wrong |
| Need to know what’s going on? |
| Can we make this house a home |
| Oh oh Florida can I talk to you? |
| Can you walk and have an interview |
| Florida this land is overdue |
| Oh my my my my my |
