If It Had Been A Dog

If it had been a dog
 They would've gone to jail
 If it had been a dog
 They would've gone to jail
 But when they kick and beat a colored man
 Those mad men go unchained
 So I say go down sunshine
 See what tomorrow will bring
 I say go down sunshine
 See what tomorrow will bring
 It might bring sunshine or fire
 But if we're lucky
 We gonna get rain
 Now all my rage is rising
 Violence, unemployment and disease
 I say my rage is rising
 Lynchin', rape, violence, drugs and disease
 My momma's got scars on her knees
 You know she's prayin'
 She's prayin' for my rage to cease
 She's prayin go down sunshine
 See what tomorrow will bring
 My momma's prayin' go down sunshine,
 See what tomorrow, see what it will bring
 It might bring more sunshine
 It might bring fire
 We pray, we pray we gonna get rain
 So I say justice, justice, justice
 Drop your blindfold, drop it down on the floor
 I say justice justice, justice, justice, justice
 Drop your blindfold down on the floor
 But that lady won't be naked
 A hood and a sheet will be her clothes
 If it had been a dog
 They would've gone to jail
 I want you to see what I'm talkin' about now
 I want you to picture a dog layin' on the ground
 If they be kickin' on a dog
 And beatin' on a dog
 Kickin' on a dog
 They would've gone to jail
 But when they beat a colored man
 This madness goes unchanged
