I have a son now, heâll be three. And Iâm thinking about him. He has to grow up in this society where people in high places [in the court] donât see it important that somebody should be prosecuted for murder, just because the victim is black. And itâs a rage that goes through you that makes you want to react in all kinds of ways. Iâm tired of marches, Iâm tired of talking. And thatâs the feeling that would come over me. But violence is not always the answer, but what do people do when thereâs no justice? And someone like Trayvon, a 17-year-old, innocent smart kid killed by a coward, can now have a legacy that he wouldâve never dreamed he had. Maybe he thought in football that he would have a legacy, but now his legacy can be something that can help change things, hopefully.--Hip-hop veteran Nas opens up on the death of Trayvon Martin.
