He was black teen in 1989
D.N.A. Rap
May be spoken at m. 45
In the wrong place at the wrong time.
Confessed under pressure
Though he didn’t do the crime. No evidence, no witnesses, He still did the time.
Spent 6 years in prison
‘Til someone else confessed Their DNA a match, The case put to rest.
When Antron was freed With no apology
The Central Park 5
Sued the NYPD They won in court
But the work’s not done. The work’s not done ‘Til we are one.
