As the nation remains on edge and divided due to the George Zimmerman trial, Love & Hip Hop Atlanta star Lil Scrappy took the opportunity to vent in song, with his new single "Trayvon Martin," dedicated to the slain teenager.

"The Prince of the South," is back with hard hitting bars describing the shooting, and aggressively flirting with idea that the U.S. justice system failed Trayvon Martin and his family.

George Zimmerman is currently on trial for the murder of 17-The song opens up with the prosecutors opening statement quoting Zimmerman's infamous 911 call in which he said "they always get away."

While the chorus, Scrappy simple repeats, "I'm Trayvon Martin, in the hood I can walk anywhere I want/ Don't shoot me/ I can do anything I want," Scrappy puts his self in Trayvon's shoes as his vicariously represents black men in America. He raps: "Visusally, repeatedly, I feel like they keep beating me, it's 1957 they killing people senselessy."

Scrappy goes on to recount that evening on February 26, 2012 when an unarmed Trayvon was gunned down, carrying a pack of Skittles and an iced tea. He asks as if he were Trayvon himself: "A juice and some Skittles so why did he shoot me? It went from innocent livin'/ then blows was givin'/ I don't know how he was drivin' to the point of no feelin'."

What do you think of Lil Scrappy's "Trayvon Martin?"

Scrappy isn't the only rapper to come fourth with a song dedicated to Trayvon Martin, Plies also made a Trayvon Martin tribute with his song, "We Are Trayvon."

How do you feel about the songs? Is the Trayvon Martin trial a reminder that racism is very much alive in America?
