You can take my life

You can take my life

Because of the way that I look

You can take my life

Because of the way that I speak

You can take my life

Because I am not in your gang

You can take my life

Because I do not share your views

You can take my life

Because you possess a knife

You can decide

That I do not deserve to live

You can give my family

Something hard to forgive

But what can I give to you,

But my blood on your hands
