It’s the middle of the day, I know some are home,

and they see and hear the wrong that’s going on.

A Black man is being hunted on their street,

That’s why no one calls in help for me.


I hear the shots, three times I’m struck.

I try and try, but I can’t get up.

My head is lifted toward the sky,

No pain, I’m riding the runner’s high."/>

" The Run"

It’s the middle of the day, I know some are home,

and they see and hear the wrong that’s going on.

A Black man is being hunted on their street,

That’s why no one calls in help for me.


I hear the shots, three times I’m struck.

I try and try, but I can’t get up.

My head is lifted toward the sky,

No pain, I’m riding the runner’s high. "
