They knew it couldn't happen from the start
Her family would always say that this would never last
But the heart wants what the heart wants
And of course they had to try
Secrets and forbidden love for he was black and she was white
There was nothing really to accept
They were young and still kept
Their secret relationship behind closed doors
She gave him what was once just hers, he took all her flowers
This time it was different from just another score
But the heart wants what the heart wants
And of course they had to try
Secrets and forbidden love for he was black and she was white
Her mother couldn't understand, she was from another time
She had the boy arrested and charged with another crime
The crime was love he told the judge, he'd never give her up
His sentencing was unjust, another story fucked by racism
Racism
Racism
Racism
Social and racial taunt
This was our systems flaw
Why can't you let this be?
It's love when hearts run free
And who are you to say
Keep him away
The rich the same, except you have nothing to gain
Just everything to lose
He was gunned down by the courthouse, the time was 5 past 8
She held him in her bloody arms
Her last few words were "stop the hate"
Stop the hate
Stop the fucking hate
They knew it couldn't happen from the start
