White folks moan and pout, there’s sorrow.

Black folks cheer and shout, there’s tomorrow.

for OJ, for OJ, ‘cause OJ is free.

HE IS FREE. HE IS FREE. HE IS ME.  HE IS ME.

“Just As” is the Black’s folks cry.

Justice unseen in history’s eye –

“Just As” Koon, Powell, the others walked

when their lawyers talked the talk –

Seein’ was not believin’?

The videotape was deceivin’?

No Black, all white was quite alright.

No other way for some to turn

but rage and riot and loot and burn.

“Justice” was served on Rodney King

Just As OJ averted justice’s

deadly sting.
