[Verse 1]
Well,
there's one black birther dead in the
[A]Roebourne [Em]jail
[C]One black martyr crucified and
the [D]cops drove in the [Em]nails
200
G's of custody,
we're [A]not allowed no bail
How [C]do you face the mornin's
when this in[Em]justice [B]still prevails I say
[Em]Show me the justice that we
[A]had [C]here in this [Em]land
Show [C]us blacks the justice for
[D]every black human be[Em]ing
Show us blacks the justice
in this [A]white democracy
[Em]When you can [C]execute us without a [Em]tri
al while we're [C]held in [G]custody[Em][C][G][Em]
Well, there's one black brother gunned
down outside [A]the
Maury town.
[Em]The communit[C]ies across this land, we
[D]mourned as they [A]laid him [Em]down.
Two hundred years of being forced to
stand back [A]outside the door.
Well, the [C]system treats the symptoms.
It [B]never attacks the cause, I say.
[Em]Show me the justice to be had
here [C]in this [Em]land.
[C]Show us blacks the justice for
[D]every black human [Em]being.
Show us blacks the justice
in this [A]white democracy
[Em]When you can [C]execute us without [Em]a trial while we're
[C]held in [G]custody[Em][C]

Well, there's one black brother dead
in a [A]pawar in a prison cell
[Em]200 [C]years of being beaten down,
[D]200 years [A]of [Em]hell
Clamped in chains to work like slaves,
[A]never got a fee
How [C]can you say it's justice with
these [B]killers running free?
I say, [Em]show me the justice to
be had [C]here in this [Em]land
Show [C]us blacks the justice for
[D]every black human be[Em]ing
Show us blacks the justice
in this [A]white democracy
[Em]When you can [C]ex ecute us without [Em]a trial while
we're [C]held in [G]custody[Em][C][Em]
[C][Em]
Well there's one black brother dead and
down on [A]too many jailhouse [Em]floors
Beaten [C]down and sacrificed
before [D]the
British law
[Em]For 200 years you celebrate
a [A]heritage you shame
You [C]stole the land from
which we're banned
Left us [Em]walking [B]in the rain
I say [Em]show me the justice to
be had here [C]in this [Em]land
Show [C]us blacks the justice for
[D]every black human be[Em]ing
Show us blacks the justice in
this [A]white democracy
[Em]When you can [C]execute us without [Em]a
trial while we're [C]held in [G]custody[Em]
You
