No Life Is a Crime

No life is a crime, no life is a crime
We are one humankind
No life is a crime

She works the job you refuse
Sweats in the July sun
To our government she’s no citizen
They take a cut when payday comes

No life is a crime, no life is a crime
We are one humankind
No life is a crime

She puts herself through school
She’s in the family way
But they stole her choice, took away her voice
Justice is what she needs today

No life is a crime, no life is a crime
We are one humankind
No life is a crime

He walked to the corner store
Just to get something to eat
That man saw his skin, took one look at him
Shot that child in the street

No life is a crime, no life is a crime
We are one humankind
No life is a crime

I won’t be ashamed
I’m out and I’m living free
You might kick me down, you might call me names
You can’t take my dignity

No life is a crime
No life is a crime
Show your love humankind
No life is a crime
