To Kill a Mockingbird Rap Lyrics by NM

2016

[Hook]
Racism an abysmal thing, gotta treat everyone all the same
Being a black man in this culture is insane, why go out and ruin his name?
He wasn’t looking for fame
Doing a service, Mayella perverse it
Kissing a black man that’s against code
Everybody knows it, it’s how it goes
Now everybody knows, Tom raped?
I don’t think that story is straight


[Verse 1]
To Kill A Mockingbird, the book is great
Understanding from Scout’s point of view
Everything is not new, retelling the story
Scouting it out, it’s not gory
Paying attention to details in the story
TKM Journals, a different story, Mrs. Calareso
Got us all working on an allegory


[Hook]
Racism an abysmal thing, gotta treat everyone all the same
Being a black man in this culture is insane, why go out and ruin his name?
He wasn’t looking for fame
Doing a service, Mayella perverse it
Kissing a black man that’s against code
Everybody knows it, it’s how it goes
Now everybody knows, Tom raped?
I don’t think that story is straight


[Verse 2]
Ok, so Tom had one job, he did it
With only one arm, he didn’t do it
Forced into court, Atticus helping being criticized in all sorts
Atticus showing the innocence of Tom
They all in court, Mayella's breaking down
She's crying about some secrets that Atticus has found
Bob Ewell leaning in his chair looking at them with a frown
If this jury was true their verdict would have been sound
And we all already know...Tom, a dog sent to the pound


[Hook]
Racism an abysmal thing, gotta treat everyone all the same
Being a black man in this culture is insane, why go out and ruin his name?
He wasn’t looking for fame
Doing a service, Mayella perverse it
Kissing a black man that’s against code
Everybody knows it, it’s how it goes
Now everybody knows, Tom raped?
I don’t think that story is straight


[Verse 3]
Alright they locked him up, took his freedom, he screaming I didn’t do it
Bob Ewell, chewing and spitting
Atticus knows he is “Ewelling”
Tom trying to regain his freedom, jumping the fence of oppression
The symbolism of a negro trying to get to the north
The guards have no heart for the one-armed man, shot up seventeen times, when they could have just ran
Now Tom laying in blood, forgotten and didn’t do a crime


[Hook]
Racism an abysmal thing, gotta treat everyone all the same
Being a black man in this culture is insane, why go out and ruin his name?
He wasn’t looking for fame
Doing a service, Mayella perverse it
Kissing a black man that’s against code
Everybody knows it, it’s how it goes
Now everybody knows, Tom raped?
I don’t think that story is straight
