There's a man who needs to get a life. The guy must be really bored to come up with a waste of time idea like this!
Who cares about a teenage thug who get himself shot? Maybe he should have thought about what he was about to do before he did it. D'ya think?
Writing a song about a wanna be crimminal thug is just plain stupid.
Should change it from “Ballad for Trayvon Martin” to the more accurate “Bullet for Trayvon Martin”.
Glad to see that black racism is alive and well at Princeton Un. Will go along well with the marxists at that university.
Raise the Red and Black Flag for Trayvon, comrade brothers!
Princeton was taken over long ago by the left-wing loonies.
Trayvon was a young thug and now a dead thug. Keeping him in the spotlight can only backfire on the race pimps. It will remind us all that these people exist and, if you dare go onto their turf, you better be prepared to defend yourself.
OK, I mean be armed!
A ballad that ends with a bang!
Would Dick Clark have said “Number one, with a bullet!”?
If I read this in a Tom Wolfe novel, I’d think he took it just a little too far.
Can I find the original words to the song?
Could add a line about him being 0-1 in the knockout game.
I have to LOL
wheres the Ballad for Ambassador Chris Stevens, Sean Smith, Glen Doherty, and Tyrone Woods ???
Wonder who is going to do the “Ballad of Sharkeshia”?
Wonder if this songwriter realizes that Traydemark’s parents copyrighted his name?
Never seen such stupidity for a ghetto thug
Just do a search on “The Horst Wessel Song”, he was a criminal and pimp that was killed by communists and his “memory” co-opted by the Nazis.
My congratulations to your son and daughter.
Thanks Tijeras_Slim or can I call you TS?
Didn’t know about the story. I’m sure now that it is a
propaganda song. I’ll check it out and compare your fill-in skills!
R/Bat
Call me either, no biggie.
For an encore, they should play the finale of the 1812 Overture.
