Judge hanging from a blackened sky Well he shouldn't have messed with the devil in me Certain things that I dislike Won't even get better if you choose to apologize Some guys won't get it, some guys will regret it There is no promise that I didn't keep And a heart can be broken, no, no, no promise Just about a couple of years have passed There is no more hunting after me I guess On the run across this whole wide land There was no damn corner I was save before they kicked my ass They tried to get, they will never let me There is no promise that I didn't keep But a ban can be broken, no, no, no promise Man says life can be imprisonment And it makes no difference if you're in Or in the outside world Once they give you life And another time they take it Just told you 'bout the evil I Let me tell you the story of an innocent man There's no way to make them understand Cause the white man never fails, he's far too ignorant They can upset me, but they'll never get me There is no promise that I didn't keep And a man can be broken, no, no, no promise Well I admit I killed a copper And more than that I hanged a judge But there is something that I disagree with you There is no such thing called justice For a black man in this land As far as I'm concerned you're convincing But Gary killed no one, Killed no one
