Testi

He sent a letter to the county line saying
"Give me a minute with my family and I, 'cause I
I never thought It'd turn out this way"
Yeah, I was just a boy back then
With a shoe string smile and a toy gun in hand, but I
I clung to every word he said
He spoke of things like compromise
When to wage a war and how to stand and fight
What it takes to live life right, mm
Still, I can see the look in his eyes
When the judge yelled down 25 to life
Saying, "Boys, don't waste your time
Freedom is yours and mine"
He said, "It's been ten years since they shot me down
But I'm still right here, I will never back down
They gotta do one better if they think I'm gonna change, yeah
Now you see these scars and these prison bars
Never hold me back from the shooting stars
'Cause I am no man's slave"
Then he cried, "Freedom, this is my reckoning"
We'd go to see him from time to time
I wrote letters every summer to keep mama from crying
But we knew the end was near
'Cause you chain one man to four cold walls
But you can't chain down his spirit nor soul, screaming
"Boys, I've done my time"
Now we ride tonight
Because it's been ten years since they shot me down
But I'm still right here, I will never back down
They gotta do one better if they think I'm gonna change, yeah
Now you see these scars and these prison bars
Never hold me back from the shooting stars
'Cause I am no man's slave
Then he cried, "Freedom, this is my reckoning"
(My reckoning)
Said, it's been ten years since they shot me down
But I'm still right here, I will never back down
They gotta do one better if they think I'm gonna change, yeah
Now you see these scars and these prison bars
Never hold me back from the shooting stars
'Cause I am no man's slave
Then he cried for freedom
And he was tried for freedom
You know he died for freedom
Now it's my reckoning
(Now it's my reckoning)
