Man, cuz they shot him-
Wanted to get him off of the bench, and they got him.
Couldn't tolerate so awful a stench
But he's rotten now and he still smells foul.
Six feet from the bottom he was still too proud
So they lynched him. yes-
Because of his race,
They rinsed him with the blood from a hole in his face.
He lay still, but they still put him in his place.
Still black taking too much space.
