Two white men fighting one another
They are fighting for a black man
The other one says the black man must be freed oh
The other one says the black man must be in held yo
Who's gonna win now
Cause they both have power
Who's gonna save the black man
Cause he ain't got no power
16 year old kids protesting they want their freedom
Black children crying saying give us better education
Good white man say give them good education
The bad white man say shoot them before they grow

Shoot them before they grow

Running for their lives

To shoot them before they grow

To shoot them before they grow before they grow
