Emmet Till (fingers Malone Remix) Lyrics - Dark Side - Backsliders

Emmett til lEmmett till, he was just a child in those hills 

Emmett till Emmett till, he was just a child in those hills 

Had dreams and hopes for the future, as every young boy should, as every young boy should, as every young boy would 

Emmett till Emmett till, just a boy of 14 years 

Emmett till Emmett till, cried a lifetime of tears 

He'd wake up every morning, to the thrill of each dawn 

Had dreams and hopes for the future, as every young boy should, as every young boy should, as every young boy would 

In the summer of 55', Mamie Till told her only son, 'Segregations over, but you take care my precious one' 

Went to visit his family, out near the Tallahatchie bridge 

Had dreams and hopes for the future, as every young boy should, 

Had dreams and hopes for the future, as every young boy would 

He was just a young boy, he stood tall in his own skin 

The preacher said the boy he stood tall like a man 

Emmett lost his life, in the name of hate 

You know the penalty varies, from race to race 

They(the killers) live a dark life, behind the farce of the law 

That protects weak men that took the life of a child 

Men with no heart, men with no soul, not a thread of remorse,no not a thread of remorse
