Verse 1 I wrote it down, every word, every sign, Put my faith in the file, in the badge, in the line. But the paper went missing, the proof slipped away, What I held as my truth couldn’t survive the delay. Pre-Chorus They said, “We’ll protect you, the law’s on your side,” But the silence grew louder where the answers should hide. Chorus If justice forgets me, misplaces my name, If the record is broken, who carries the blame? Rights aren’t favors, they’re owed from the start, You can’t lose the evidence and still claim a heart. Secondary wounds cut deeper than before— Justice limps away when it should run toward the door. Verse 2 The law says hold steady, preserve what is true, Guard every fragment like it mattered to you. Same care, same weight as the ones who defend, Not less because I’m the one harmed in the end. Pre-Chorus When fear’s still breathing down the back of my neck, Neglect isn’t neutral—it’s a dangerous wreck. Chorus If justice forgets me, misplaces my name, If the record is broken, who carries the blame? Rights aren’t favors, they’re owed from the start, You can’t lose the evidence and still claim a heart. Bridge So I gather my voice, every witness, each scar, Affidavits of survival, saying “Here’s who you are.” Even without their perfection, I still stand tall, There’s a court that can listen when the system won’t call. Final Chorus If the system drops me, I won’t fade away, I’ll file my truth in my own honest way. Protection is possible, the law still can see, Even broken reports don’t erase what was done to me. Outro Justice isn’t paper, or a box, or a seal— It’s what you protect when the danger is real.
