On the 505 |
| Woke up to the news that a kid was killed by the men in blue |
| Video was on YouTube he had a knife on the TTC |
| Didn’t hurt anyone he was all alone cops pulled their guns |
| He started talking back to one and the situation came undone |
| Like it can with a loaded gun |
| On the 505 they shot nine times Sammy Yatim died |
| Blood on the tracks tonight and it’s on the web worldwide |
| On the 505 I don’t know why he had a knife |
| But he didn’t owe his life and we saw it with our own eyes |
| Sammy was a mixed up kid from a war-torn land and he caused some shit |
| What was going through his head? |
| There were people could have helped him out |
| But we’ll never know for sure ‘cause fear and bullets trumped strength and words |
| Now someone’s wishing he could take it back every time he remembers |
| But a trigger is forever |
| On the 505 they shot nine times Sammy Yatim died |
| Blood on the tracks tonight and it’s on the web worldwide |
| On the 505 I don’t know why he had a knife |
| But he didn’t owe his life and we saw it with our own eyes |
| Now we’ll never know the reason why |
