lyrics

Light Flashing right behind you
The bright colors of red and blue
Cars passing going on their way
Unaware this maybe your last day

In the mirror you begin to look
You can’t stay still you’re completely shook,
Everybody KNows, It’s the new Jim Crow

Drivers license down beside my seat
With all the change I lost throughout the week
I hear the door slam and it rattles my heart
Roll down the window it’s about to start

I see him coming but what do I say
Picked up my son from the sitter today
Everybody knows it’s the new Jim Crow

You know why I stopped you? He mouthed to me
“No.” I replied, “But I’m about to see,”
So many thoughts ran across my mind
Maybe Today, he will choose to be kind.

“Alright Sir, can I see some ID?”
“Alright Sir, but it’s beside my seat”
Everybody knows, it’s the new Jim Crow

(instrumental)

He called for backup but I didn’t know why
Why is this blood running down my side
Cars flying past us going on their way
Still unaware this maybe my last day

Is this the way my life is going to end
Without a loved one or without a friend
Everybody knows
Everybody knows
Everybody knows IT’S THE NEW JIM CROW
