Troy Davis was convicted of the August 19, 1989, murder of Savannah, Georgia, USA police officer Mark MacPhail on the basis of witness testimony – seven of the nine original witnesses have since recanted or changed their testimony.

ReplyDeleteI knew they weren't going to give him a stay the justic system hates to admit when they have made a mistake:(
anyone got the little weapon instrumental?
ReplyDeleteThey killed another man today
Took him from his cell as he tried to say
He was an innocent man locked in a cage
By the state so enraged in a terrible place
For 22 years they held on to the case
Several different death dates
But still they didn’t change his fate
Even after witnesses changed their story
This poor victim received an end so gory
Horribly worsening the torturing for this being
Seeing how fucked up the whole system is
Plenty wishing this didn’t exist
So they petition and prayed
For forgiveness and change
But they resisted the claims
Of innocence and made
A predicament so strange
An incident of ignorance and blisslessness for not listening
To witnesses, tricked by pricks
Now here come the claims about the man in question
That he was a thug that deserved arresting
But take a second and lessen your aggression
Open your eyes and think about your message
Your sending, forgetting helping corrections
Its not infectious but one cant be accepted
Im restless as I read his death wish
“may God bless your souls.” And that’s it
Give him injection fuck his objections
Its his objectives that give this oppression
Denied appeals are seeming subjective
He dies, none heal, real killer still threatens
Think you god got the low down
Who chose you to put this man down
In the ground to be bound by this crown that surrounds
So profound how we found there’s no reasonable doubt
^drmmchnt, that was dope. do you rap?
ReplyDeleteyeah a little bit just for fun nothing serious, just got inspired by the situation and kept hearing lupe saying "i killed another man today" so decided to go off that, just cant find the instrumental anywhere
