〈Verse 1〉
Down the road in Tulsa, Oklahoma
A black man's SUV broke down
A normal occurrence for a normal day
'til the police came rolling 'round
Lonesome and asking for assistance
Like any other man would do
But the eyes in the sky begged to differ
They called him the big bad dude

〈Verse 2〉
His life was one that mattered
Sang with all his flaws every week
Filled with the spirit of the holy ghost
But they diagnosed it PCP
He was enrolled in community college
A son and father too
Went by the namе of Terence Crutchеr
But they called him the big bad dude

〈Verse 3〉
Looking deep down in his pockets
And high had his hand in the air
By God they were looking for something
Something that wasn't there
Some would reach their belt for some handcuffs
Or find the words to talk it through
But they fired a gun, put a bullet in his lungs
And called him the big bad dude
〈Verse 4〉
She was booked for 1st degree manslaughter
But one day the chains finally break
It's been ninety five years since 1921
How many more is it gonna take?
The world saw the lynching post card
It's a different kind of noose
Was he sentenced to death for being big and bad
Or because he was a big black dude?
