REMEMBERING  TWO YOUNG SERVICE STATION ATTENDENTS IN KENT

No there was no rioting
No looting of department stores
No one had a new TV
You probably didn't even hear about it
But it was a racial killing
And the bad police were not involved
It was a killing for respect
You see a black Cadillac pulled up
Rap music blaring
Blocking the entrance sideways
The attendents asked them to move
That was racial and showing disrepect
Both were shot in the head
The attendents were without long rap sheets
They were just working men
Oh, I am sorry this is about little Bobby Brown
Young kid with a cigar addiction
And cops who were showing him disrespect
I think this racial misunderstand starts
At home with Mom and Dad and family values
No riots in Kent it is under investigation
I am still waiting to see who is right or wrong
Before I sent a note to Al Sharpton
